Osun LG Election, A Waste Of Taxpayers’ Money – APC Chieftain

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has described the local government election held in Osun on Saturday as an effort in futility and a mere waste of taxpayers’ money.
Speaking with newsmen on Tuesday in Osogbo, the member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) said that since the Court of Appeal, Akure, in its judgement, reinstated the sacked APC council chairmen, the conduct of the election was illegal.

He noted that the state government would later be asked to account for the money wasted on the election.
Oyintiloye, however, appealed to the federal government to release the monthly local government allocation to the reinstated party chairmen in the state.

He said the allocation would allow the chairmen to fast-track development, which had been neglected at the grassroots since their purported sacking in 2022.

Oyintiloye said that since the chairmen had lost considerable time, with less than nine months left to end their tenure, the timely release of the allocation would enable them to achieve fast developmental projects at the grassroots.

The former lawmaker also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for displaying professionalism in handling security issues and abuse of power in the state.
