In the November 2024 local government elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has once again secured a sweeping victory across all 20 local government areas in Ogun State. This resounding win reflects the ongoing popularity and political strength of the APC in the state, as well as the enduring trust that Ogun’s residents continue to place in the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
The outcome of the election underscores the APC’s ability to maintain its dominance across both urban and rural regions of the state. The party’s candidates secured victory in local government chairmanship positions from the capital city of Abeokuta to the coastal areas of Ogun Waterside. The wins are not just a testament to the party’s strong organizational base but also a recognition of the tangible development seen under Governor Abiodun’s administration.
Governor Abiodun was quick to congratulate the newly elected chairmen, offering them his full support as they take on the responsibility of leading their local councils. He emphasized the importance of grassroots governance, calling on the newly elected officials to work closely with his administration to address the key priorities of infrastructure development, healthcare, education, and job creation.
In his remarks following the elections, Governor Abiodun said, “The people of Ogun have once again given their mandate to the APC, and it is now our responsibility to continue delivering on our promises. I urge the new chairmen to prioritize the welfare of the people and ensure that all local government areas benefit from our state’s growth and development.”
With the APC now holding full control of the local governments, the challenge ahead will be ensuring that the promises made during the campaign are translated into meaningful changes for residents. Governor Abiodun’s administration has already laid the groundwork with projects focused on infrastructure, education, and job creation, and the new local government leaders will play a critical role in implementing these initiatives at the grassroots level.
As Ogun State continues its journey of transformation, the APC’s victory in the 2024 local government elections marks another milestone in the state’s quest for sustained development and progress.
