Oladitan said as of Friday 14th which is a day before the election, the Commission ensured there was no subsisting legal inhibition restricting it from conducting the exercise.

Speaking on vote apathy, he noted that political parties who fail to sensitize and mobilise the electorate for election should be blamed for the phenomenon and not the election management body.

Some of the newly elected chairmen and councilors promised to reciprocate the confidence reposed in them by members of their respective councils and wards.
