Local government chairmen and councillors elected in 2022 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, have warned the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, against conducting any election on Saturday.
They also ordered immediate freezing of various council accounts of the councils they occupied on Wednesday.
The council chairmen warned Governor Adeleke and others in charge of the council resources to steer clear of public funds saying “any form of illegal transaction will have consequences.”
The chairmen and councillors cautioned the state government and chairman of Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, Hashim Abioye, “to shelve the planned local government election as there is no vacancy in any of the 30 councils for them to fix.”
Addressing a press conference in Osogbo, APC chieftain, Abiodun Idowu, who identified himself as the Ifedayo Local Government Chairman, applauded President Bola Tinubu for his exemplary leadership and strict adherence to the rule of law just as he hailed high sense of professionalism and commitment exhibited by the security agencies in the state.
Idowu reassured their readiness to good governance at the grassroots saying, “having returned to office, we want to reaffirm our commitment to serving our people more and our social contract to create job and wealth for the teeming youth of the state will be implemented without compromise.”
He added, “We want to respectfully appeal to the Nigerian Police Force, Directorate of State Security and other security agencies to fish out the killers of Hon. Remi Abass and other APC members bludgeoned to death by hoodlums on Monday.”
