Governor Seyi Makinde has dissolved the board of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission. A statement issued on Friday in Ibadan by the state Head of Service, Mrs Amidat Agboola, said Makinde ordered the dissolution with effect from July 1. The board members were directed to hand over all property of the state government in their custody to the most senior director in the commission. The eight-man board headed by Mr John Ajeigbe conducted local government elections in the state on May 12, 2018. Makinde, a PDP governor, few hours after his inauguration on May 29, sacked all the chairmen.
