The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, says local government elections in the state will hold in July.
Governor Ajimobi noted that there would be no extension for the transition chairmen, who had just been sworn into office.
The Governor, while admonishing the newly sworn in chairmen, said that the transition chairmen would serve for only four months after which elections would be conducted throughout the 33 local government areas in the state.
Governor Ajimobi said that the present administration has zero tolerance for corruption and ineptitude.
He charged the workers to be above board in all their dealings for the transition period.
Governor Ajimobi also said that they must embark on legacy projects with meaningful engagement of unemployed youth as their focus especially in the agrarian revolution mapped out by his administration.
He maintained that the failure of any local government is the failure of the state.
The Governor added that the four months period is meant for putting local government areas in order and to prepare them for coming elections.
