OSUN COUNCIL POLL: ADELEKE CAUSING CHAOS, SAYS OMISORE. (PHOTO).


 Osun council poll: Adeleke causing chaos, says Omisore


…’governor targeting council funds’


.…’situation warrants a state of emergency’


Former All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has criticised Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for allegedly conducting illegal chairmanship and councillorship elections across the state’s 30 local government areas.

Omisore accused the governor and the state electoral commission of staging a fictitious election to fill non-existent vacancies, disregarding legal rulings. 

He warned that Adeleke’s actions could create unrest severe enough to warrant a state of emergency.

In a statement, Omisore described the Osun government as lawless, stating that it ignored legal advice and violated a court judgment. 

He stressed that the Court of Appeal had reinstated the 30 council chairmen and their councillors, making any new election unnecessary and unlawful.

He further alleged that Adeleke’s determination to hold the elections stemmed from an ambition to control and misuse council funds. 

According to Omisore, the state electoral commission’s role in the exercise was a “show of shame” orchestrated by the governor.

He maintained that the election was fraudulent and would not withstand legal scrutiny.

Omisore said: “Disobeying court orders and judgement, wasting Osun state resources, desperately influencing the judiciary to sit over superior court decision and turning deaf ears to the wise counsel, Adelele has committed a heinous crime against democracy and humanity.”

He said if there is a breakdown of law and order in the State of Living Springs, the governor should be held responsible.

Omisore added:”Adeleke acted against commonsense. He has set the stage for the breakdown of law and order. God will not allow it. The governor is inviting a declaration of a state of emergency in Osun. The whole exercise was a shameless charade and dancing taken too far.”
