The swearing in ceremony marks the return of democratically elected officers to paddle the affairs of the lowest tier of government, which has seen 4 sets of caretaker chairmen at d helm since the inception of the Mimiko led administration due to the litigation instituted against the Labour Party by Peoples Democratic Party.

The Governor while speaking at the event noted that the grassroots antecedents of the elected chairmen will be of benefits to the electorates, the governor also added that it was a bit surprising that those who criticised the present administration for not conducting Local Government elections in the state are the ones seeking court injunction to stop the conduct of the April 23 election. He urged the newly elected chairmen to drive the dividends of democracy to every nook and cranny of their LGAs.
