Oyo State House of Assembly has inaugurated Mr Debo Ogundoyin of the Peoples Democratic Party as a lawmaker representing Ibarapa East State Constituency today.
Ogundoyin, who was sworn in by the Hon. Speaker, Hon. Olagunju Ojo, on Thursday, won the June 2, 2018 bye election in Ibarapa East State Constituency seat as a result of fallout and cracks in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Present at the inauguration were Chieftains of the party led by the state chairman, Alhaji Kunmi Mustapha and others. Also, mother of the new lawmaker, Mrs Tina Ogundoyin, friends, wells wishers and supporters graced the occasion.
