Osun state PDP on Monday urged the Governor Gboyega Oyetola administration not to go ahead with the planned local government elections while submitting that those it referred to as ‘illegally elected officials’ will not last beyond November 27.
It will be recalled that Mr. Segun Oladitan , who is the Chairman of Osun state Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, had on August 15, 2022 announced October 15, 2022 as local government elections date.
Osun state PDP in a statement signed by its Chairman, Dr Akindele Adekunle which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com called the planned exercise by the APC-led government a waste of scarce resources and a continuation of its ploy to throw the state into confusion.
The party urged Osun state people to stay away from what it described as ‘the sham that has no benefit for the state’.
“In furtherance of our earlier warnings, anyone who emerges from the illegal election will be sacked after November 27.
The reason for this is simply because our party will never condone any act of illegality, which has been clearly shown in this planned exercise’ he said.
Dr Adekunle, who noted that his party was not averse to having elected officials at the local government level, however, said ‘The position of our party remains that laws should be a guiding principle, and not the shenanigan we have seen so far.
It is on this note that we want to call on Osun state people to stay away from this illegality by not participating in the exercise. The implication of joining APC in its voyage of illegality is a costly one especially for our struggling state, which has tones of obligations unmet, particularly pension arrears.
At the appropriate time and in line with the laws, our party will conduct council elections and bring about the right government for the people at the grassroots, not the charade that the APC is planning’ he added- Team@orientactualmags.com
