Osun LG Crisis: FG Reviewing Stance – PDP Chairman

The federal government is reviewing previous stance on the Osun local government face off, chairman of the Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon Sunday Bisi, declared Wednesday.

Bisi, who made the disclosure in Osogbo the state capital, insisted that the judgement that sacked local government political functionaries elected in 2022 remained valid.

According to him, the weight of facts and evidence confirming the alleged illegality being perpetrated by the functionaries are widely before top officials of the federal government telling the state chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop disinformation, misinformation and fake news.

He gave assurance that the federal officials are in possession of all the facts for legal and due process compliance on the Osun local government controversies.
His words: “Osun state government adopted a responsible, rule based and due process approach to the illegal invasion and attempted hijacking of the local government secretariats in Osun state.

“Rather than allow bloodshed which was the agenda of the APC and despite losing six of our party members, we have opted to reach out to the Attorney-General of the Federation and other relevant officials of the Federal Government.

“The Federal Government is now in possession of all the court judgments including the APP judgement which sacked the Yes /No chairmen and the Court of Appeal ruling which struck out the APC appeal against the Federal High Court ruling.

“We have also forwarded the Certified True copy of the Akure Court of Appeal judgement. The AGF and other federal officials are now in possession of the undoctored judgement of the Court of Appeal which contained no consequential orders and which has no directive reinstating the sacked council chairmen.

“Osun APC is in severe pain because the certified true copies of judgements are now with the Federal Ministry of Justice which is currently reviewing the submissions in comparison to earlier stance. We have escalated the basic facts to key offices in Abuja. The lies of the Osun APC are busted”, the state PDP posited.

Bisi noted that Osun APC had clouded Abuja power centers with lies for long over the Osun issue, adding that no judgement reinstated the year 2022 political functionaries.
