OYO PDP Unveils Campaign Coordinating Team for Local Government Polls

In a strategic move ahead of the upcoming local government elections in Oyo State, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed its comprehensive campaign coordinating team, encompassing individuals from various local government areas. The carefully selected team is expected to play a pivotal role in ensuring a successful outcome in the polls scheduled for April across the 33 local government areas in the state.

The State Campaign Coordinating Team, headed by Hon. James Olukunle, includes notable figures such as Hon. Taiwo Alagbe, Hon. Sunday Bankole, and Alhaja Chief Mrs Wulemot Ibitoye, among others. Pastor Biodun Popoola assumes the role of the Secretary, emphasizing the diverse representation of stakeholders from the State Working Committee, Senatorial and local executives, serving council chairmen, and members of the National and State Assembly.

For the Oyo North Campaign Council, Hon. Yusuf Yinusa Adekunle takes charge as the Director-General, supported by Hon. Jimoh Moshood as the Secretary. The council boasts an extensive list of executives and stakeholders from the Oyo North senatorial district, ensuring a robust and inclusive approach.

In Oyo South, Alhaji Kamorudeen Adeyemi leads the Campaign Council as the Director-General, with Pastor Biodun Popoola serving as the Secretary. The council mirrors the comprehensive structure seen in the Oyo North Campaign Council, showcasing a commitment to broad representation and collaboration.

The Oyo Central Campaign Council, spearheaded by Hon. Mufutau Olatunde Ogunremi as the Director-General, brings together leaders like Alhaja Chief Mrs Wulemot Ibitoye and Hon. Oludayo Opatokun.

However, attention is drawn to key figures from specific local government areas, namely Ogbomoso, Surulere, Ogo Oluwa, and Ibadan, where the PDP has placed a significant emphasis.

In Ogbomoso North, Hon.

Hon Bankole’s dual responsibilities highlight the strategic importance of Ogbomoso North in the PDP’s electoral plans.

Ogo Oluwa’s representation is headed by Honorable Oluwole Ogunleye Olutunji, who serves as the Local Government Campaign DG. His involvement is indicative of the party’s intention to connect with the local community and address their specific needs and concerns.
