The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State has told the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC to stop disgracing itself in the glare of the intelligent society over the Supreme Court verdict on Local Government autonomy.
It accusing the opposition of deliberately feigning ignorance to enliven its raging emotional distress.
Reacting to public comments by some elements in the embattled opposition camp, shortly after the on local government autonomy, the PDP in Osun State in a statement by the state chairman, Hon Sunday Bisi, on Friday, enjoined APC leaders not to relapse into their usual mysticism, which often result into neuro seizures, borne out of inordinate ecstasy.
He reminded the APC of how it deliberately, out of similar ecstasy of ignorance and disdain for the laws of the land, wasted over N2 billion from the coffers of the state on an illegal local government election, which was later not only discredited, but annulled by the court of competent jurisdiction.
The annulment of the “YES or NO” insanity conducted by the APC, according to Bisi, was effected on the 25th of November 2022 by a Federal High Court in Osogbo, “a time the wasteful APC government of recalcitrant former governor Gboyega Oyetola was still in force in Osun State.”
“It is therefore abnormal to say the least, for APC minions to begin to dream of an impossible comeback for the unfortunate lots, who were caught in the web of APC desperation of illegality, even after our great party had offered patriotic advice against conduct of such a clearly illegal exercise,” he posited.
Bisi advised “the obviously confused opposition APC to fasten its belt and put its popularity to test, if any, by following up with the activities lined up by the State Independent Electoral Commission for the conduct of the local government election in Osun State, in line with with the prevailing electoral act as amended, which has been upheld by the same Supreme Court in various election related matters.:
PDP reiterated that the state Governor, Asiwaju Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke at no time, dissolved elected local government structure in the State.
It stated that cases relating to the better forgotten LG election had been heard and dispensed with, after the PDP legal team submerged the then Gboyega Oyetola led government in the ocean of law,” which the APC never survived.
