The withdrawal is contained in a letter dated February 17, signed by the APC state Publicity Secretary, Alao Kamorudeen and addressed to the Secretary of the State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC).

APC premised the withdrawal on the contentious February 10 Court of Appeal judgment which reinstated its chairmen and councillors.

The letter read: “Recall that judgment of the Federal High Court in suit No. FHF Os/CS/94/2022 was meritoriously nullified on February 10 by Court of Appeal in Akure, in appeal No. CA/AK/270/2022 between APC and 3 others V. Peoples Democratic Party and others.

“By the judgment, the elected officers have resumed offices as allowed by the Appeal Court.

“The implication of the Court of Appeal judgment as cited above is that the seats are no longer vacant.

“In view of the forgoing, we hereby state that APC and all its candidates have by this letter informed the commission that we withdraw from the local government election scheduled for February 22.

“Same as become unnecessary, superfluous and unlawful with the development.”

LEADERSHIP recalls that the violence broke out in Osun State on Monday leading to the death of no fewer than 6 persons following the clashes that greeted the takeover of local government secretariats between members of the ruling PDP and APC.

The February 10 ruling of the Appeal Court has been contentious and eliciting different interpretations between the two parties.
