…urges IGP to hold APC liable for any breach of peace
The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the sacked Osun State Local Government Chairmen and Councillors can’t force their way back into office because a substantive judgment of the Appeal Court has since sealed their fate.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said this in a statement, in Abuja, on Monday.
He cautioned the affected local government political leaders to perish the thought of forcing themselves back into office as such will amount to a futile venture with dire consequences.
Ologunagba said, “The PDP also charges the All Progressives Congress (APC) to accept the reality and end its resort to self-help, misrepresentations, vituperations, violence and killing with the aim to trigger crisis and destabilize the State, having realized that it has irredeemably lost.
“The PDP asserts that the fate of the ousted Local Government Chairmen and Councilors was sealed by the Judgment of the Court to Appeal which nullified the unconstitutional attempt by the then Governor Gboyega Oyetola to illegally plant them as Local Government officers in the guise of an election.
“Having been roundly rejected by the people of Osun State in the Saturday, July 16, 2022, governorship election, the then Governor Oyetola and the APC ought to have known that attempting to side-step the laws and manipulate the process to illegally foist APC and apologists as Local Government Chairmen and Counselors was an exercise in futility which was bound to fail ultimately.
“The APC is the architect of its misfortune. It should have known that disregarding and refusing to comply with the provisions of the Constitution and the Osun State Local Government Election Laws with respect to the requirement on notices, processes and procedures of conducting local government elections is destined to be fatal and irreparable.
“We counsel the Osun State APC to stop playing to the gallery by trying to bring in the exulted office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria into disrepute by hopelessly dropping the President’s name at public spaces in their desperate but pathetic and unrealizable attempt to garner undeserved sympathy.
“The APC should note that our nation operates a federal system of government with clearly entrenched devolution of powers among the federating units as well as the various sub-national tiers of government.
“It should therefore desist from the fruitless attempt to drag President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government into the issue of local government election which, under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), is within the purview of the State and has no connection whatsoever with the Federal Government.”
The PDP further said, “If the APC believes that it is truly popular in Osun State as it claims, it should rather get ready for election as already scheduled by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) instead of holding unto an imaginary strand of straw and instigating violence and killings in the State.
“Our Party strongly condemns the violence and killing of some youths today by APC thugs and calls on the Inspector General of Police to hold APC leaders in Osun State responsible and bring them to book for this heinous crime.
“The PDP calls on the people of Osun State to remain calm, law-abiding and get ready for the Local Government Election as they continue to Governor Ademola Adeleke in his outstanding delivery of monumental life-enhancing projects and programs in the State.”

The Court of Appeal judgement clearly reinstated the sacked Local Government Chairmen. It’s unfortunate that PDP is being absolutely irresponsible by trying to frustrate the enforcement of a valid judgement of the court.
PDP’s rascality notwithstanding, I will appeal to APC and the law enforcement agencies to allow the status quo remain until the matter is decided by the Supreme Court.

Below are your exact words from the other thread, and I believe you have yet to see or read the judgment, yet here you are making statements without having the facts
You are a confusionist
seunmsg:
What is the exact position of the Appeal Court judgement? Did the court truly order the reinstatement of the Council Chairmen or no consequential order was given as claimed by the governor?
Those with better understanding of the judgement should enlighten the rest of us.

Oyetola is clearly angling for that local government money (autonomy things)
Barawo Banza 
Instead of him to concentrate on his Job as minister of blue economy, he is busy fomenting trouble and creating chaos in Osun state.
A failed governor and currently a failed minister

For those that don't understand what's happening. The election that brought those local government chairmen to power was nothing but a secondary school class prefect selection.

Against the court ruling?
Just like Makinde in Oyo, PDP in Osun is meant to approach an higher court instead of going the way of rascality.

The election that brought them to power is questionable.
The former governor is mischievous for rushing and fixing an election immediately he realized he has lost his return election.
