A member of House of the House of Representatives, representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Mr. Abiodun Awoleye has lost his third term bid.
Awoleye, who contested under the platform of the Accord Party, lost to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate, Mr. Musliudeen Olaide Akinremi.
Awoleye has been a lawmaker since 2007 when he was elected to represent Ibadan North 2 in the Oyo State House of Assembly.
