Ugwuanyi said that Ogungbenro scored 3,110 votes out of 3,250 delegates votes that attended the congress from the 33 local government areas of the state.

Also, Mr. Wasiu Adeleke emerged as the State Secretary of the party with 3,111 votes.

Other executive members are Abiodun Oyesola, Secretary; Mr. Matthew Abioye, Deputy Chairman; Bola Akinyemi, Publicity Secretary and Adekola Adeoye, Youth Leader, among others.

Ogungbenro and Okunlade, in their separate acceptance speeches, promised to unify the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The governor used the occasion to call on the aggrieved party members across the state to return to the party for integration, saying such members would be accommodated.

NAN also reports that not less than 50 vehicles parked around the Jogor Centre, where Adeola-Akande-led faction held its congress, were vandalised by hoodlums.

The hoodlums, in their scores, armed with sticks and cutlasses, were, however, prevented by security operatives from entering venue of the congress. (NAN)
