Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has pledged to resolve the ongoing local government crisis through lawful and peaceful means. In a statement issued on Monday in Osogbo by his spokesperson, Malam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke emphasized his commitment to upholding due process and the rule of law.
The governor praised the recent judgement by the Court of Appeal, Akure Division, which reaffirmed the legitimacy of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) local government chairmen and councillors. According to Adeleke, this ruling effectively ended the controversy surrounding the reinstatement of All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmen and councillors.
“The APC chairmen councillors were sacked by the court, which has affirmed the legitimacy of the PDP chairmen and councillors. Unlike the opposition, we are people of due process,” Adeleke stated.
He further explained that the judgement is being communicated to all relevant stakeholders at both the state and national levels, with the expectation that normalcy will soon be restored in accordance with the law.
