The result marks the end of a long-standing political jinx in the council, with voters speaking in one voice across towns and wards.
Our team of reporters who covered the election observed intensive, round-the-clock campaign activities from *Orile Owu to Ode Omu and Gbongan*, the political headquarters of Ayedaade LGA What stood out was the unity among political leaders in each town. Despite political differences in the past, party leaders worked in unison, without acrimony, to mobilize support for Governor Adeleke.
