The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle, popularly known as DoN, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election.
The Returning Officer, Professor Abiodun Oluwadare of the University of Ibadan, made the announcement on Saturday at the Collation Centre in Ikolaba High School, Ibadan.
This victory means Oyekunle will succeed the late Hon. Musiliu Olaide Akinremi (Jagaban), whose passing created the vacancy and prompted the bye-election.
The triumph is being celebrated as a historic comeback for the PDP, reclaiming the Ibadan North Federal Constituency seat for the first time since 2011.
