Adeseun Ogundoyin’s Son, Adebo, Wins Ibarapa East By-election

In a surprising twist to the expectations of many that the Ibarapa East by-election to fill the post rendered vacant by the death of the late speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Michael Adeyemo would be a walk over in favour of his brother, Olukunle Adeyemo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Adebo Ogundoyin has won the election.
Adebo, 31, one of the sons of the late philanthropist and industrialist, late Chief Adeseun Ogundoyin beat the major contenders Olukunle Adeyemo of the APC and Adepoju Adebodun Ademola of the Accord Party.
Information from Oke Ogun was that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has declared Adebo winner of the election.
Some residents of the state have expressed shock at the turnout of the election, saying that it cannot be imagined that PDP would win an election where APC is the ruling party.
