ACCORD Party Demands Removal Of Sacked Osun APC LG Chairmen From Secretariats

The national leadership of Accord Party has demanded the immediate vacation of all local government secretariats in Osun State by the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmen and councilors whose election was nullified by the Federal High Court in Osogbo.

In a statement issued from its national secretariat in Abuja signed by the national chairman, Barrister Maxwell Mgbudem, the party said the purported election that produced the APC local government officials was nullified in November 2022, and the judgment was upheld by the Court of Appeal on February 10, 2025, and again on June 13, 2025.

The party stressed that beyond the court rulings, the tenure of the APC chairmen and councilors expired on October 22, 2025, adding that there is no justification for them to continue occupying council secretariats.

It described the continued occupation of the local government offices, allegedly backed by police protection, as outrageous and a calculated assault on the nation’s hard-earned democracy.

The party also accused the former APC officials of engaging in what it called “forum shopping” after they reportedly approached the Federal High Court seeking an extension of their expired tenure.
