Ogun State has scheduled its local government elections for Saturday, November 16, 2024. Mr. Babatunde Osibodu, Chairman of the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission, announced this date in a statement released on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the guidelines for the elections will be issued on Thursday, August 8, 2024, followed by a stakeholders’ meeting. Political campaigns are set to commence on Friday, August 9, 2024.

“The political parties are also scheduled to hold their party primaries between Monday, August 26 to Monday, September 9, 2024”.

Recall that the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, Mr Kayode Akinmade, had last month described as fake news a statement circulating on social media announcing that the next local government elections in the state will be held on October 26, 2024.

The elected local government officials completed their tenure about a week ago.
