The All Progressives Congress was declared winner in all the local government areas while the Peoples Democratic Party and Zenith Labour Party boycotted the election. 

Armed with placards, the protesting youth also accused a serving commissioner in the state of hijacking election materials in Oba Ile. 

Speaking during the protest, one of the youth and councillorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Mr Johnson Faloye, said he was declared winner in the election in Unit 09 of Oba Ile in Akure North Local

Government Area but the result was manipulated in favour of his opponent in APC, Korede Folorunsho.
