For allegedly appointing a card-carrying member of his political party as the chairman of Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC), the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dragged Governor Ademola Adeleke before a Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the state capital.

An assistant secretary of  Osun APC, Waheed Adeniran, in an affidavit in support of the originating summons filed by the party’s lawyer, Ayodele Kusamotu, urged the court to set aside the appointment of Barr Hasim Abioye as the chairman of OSIEC.

Joined in the suit marked FHC/OS/CS/2/2024 are the attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the attorney-general of Osun State and commissioner for justice, the speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Hasim Akintunde Abioye and Osun State Independent Electoral Commission.

APC contended that, “The nomination and appointment of a partisan person as the chairman of the state electoral body offends the law and will not guarantee credible Local Government elections in which other political parties are expected to participate”.

The party alsoclaimed that, “The new chairman, having been a card-carrying member of the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) in the state will not be neutral and impartial in the local Government election processes”.
