Updated Official List Details Violations Across Several Locations

The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Oyewole Mayowa Solomon, has died. Solomon reportedly collapsed on Friday during a reconciliation meeting at Iyara, the headquarters of Ijumu LGA. The APC chairman was said to have received medical attention at the venue before he was rushed to a hospital in Kabba, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
The meeting was convened by a former chairman of Ijumu LGA, Funsho Olumoko, to reconcile factions, resolve internal disputes and foster unity among stakeholders ahead of future political engagements. However, it was learnt that the previous session ended in a deadlock over an alleged crisis in the local government leadership of the party, prompting the deceased, several party stakeholders and top government officials to stage a walkout. According to reports, Friday's follow-up meeting was meant to bridge the divides by bringing together selected political leaders, local government and ward executives, women and youth leaders, and government appointees representing all 15 wards of Ijumu LGA.
