Ewekoro, November 21, 2024 — In a surprising turn of events, the much-anticipated oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected Ward Councillors in Ewekoro Local Government has been postponed until further notice. This decision comes just days before the scheduled event, which was set to take place on Thursday, November 21, 2024.
The announcement, made public earlier today, has left many residents and local stakeholders in a state of uncertainty.
