The local government election conducted by former Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola took place on October 15, 2022, about a month before he left office on November 27, 2022. The election was organized by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) under Oyetola's administration.

Key Highlights of the Election:

1. Election Format:

The election was conducted using a parliamentary system, meaning chairmen were elected by councilors rather than through a direct vote.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) was the only party that participated in the election, as other parties boycotted it.



2. Legal Controversy & Opposition:

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other opposition parties challenged the election's legality, arguing it did not follow due process.

The Osun PDP labeled the election a "sham" and took the case to court.



3. Court Ruling & Annulment:

On November 25, 2022, Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel of the Federal High Court in Osogbo declared the election null and void, ruling that it was conducted in violation of the Electoral Act 2022.

The court ordered all APC-elected local government officials to vacate office immediately.

This ruling came just two days before Oyetola handed over to Governor Ademola Adeleke (PDP).



4. Aftermath:

Governor Adeleke complied with the court order and sacked the newly elected APC local government officials.

The PDP government accused Oyetola of trying to impose APC loyalists at the local government level before leaving office.




This election remains a controversial issue in Osun State politics, as it was seen as an attempt by Oyetola to retain political influence despite losing the July 16, 2022 governorship election to Ademola Adeleke.


A yes or no election is null and void Who conducts election like this ? If other political parties boycotted the kangaroo election following court order, how can an appeal court uphold illegality?

This is a rape on our democracy. Why is Oyetola making the state ungovernable for Adeleke just because he is close to Tinubu?

IGP you erred

So the Court will now reinstate Obasa, i believe house business is not within the jurisdiction of the court. You cannot impose on the house who should be the speaker

Yio leyin

Apologize??

Some religious Leaders sponsor terrorism

MANY FOOD SELLERS ARE DEMON POSSESSED, WICKED AND TERRIBLE.

SOME OF THEM WASH THEIR PRIVATE PARTS INTO THE FOOD THEY SELL

Politicians are devil incarnates

The best thing for Tinubu to do now is to allow the lawmakers to decide

Okay oo...as much as I prefer this man to oyetola, he needs to do more .settle down and work

Maybe we should just stop production

Good but try and arrest the boko Haram members too

The VC should sack Tinubu too

Can anything good come from Hell Rufai?

AMINDA:
Clearly you have never been to Kaduna. Elrufai still remains arguably the best governor Kaduna has ever had in terms of infrastructure, reforms, IGR and attraction of investments. Make una dey sometimes leave social media and go outside to touch grass.

I know it has become a cliché for everyone to mouth off "southern Kaduna" but it is an established fact that Kaduna has always had that issue long before Elrufai ever dreamt of governing it. From the Zangon Kataf, to the Miss World debacle and several other historic skirmishes. Killings still persists on the low in Southern Kaduna today but the media is under-reporting for whatever reason.

Best with all the killings in Southern Kaduna?

Nigeria is a secular state...if we cannot keep it at that, let everyone go their separate ways. Let the North be like Afghanistan. You cannot encroach people's territory using religion. The wealth th nation enjoy is the south where Christians are dominant. Give Fulani people no space,not even in the name of religion. Look out how they have subdued the Hausas in their land? Are there no Hausa person capable of becoming governor or president in Nigeria? But the Fulani won't allow it .

It is high time we stopped FULANI becoming president in Nigeria ... After Tinubu , let's try a Christian from the middle belt

Ok

Trust him at your peril...he actually wants to instigate the military against Bola Ahmed. Why did he not make this statement when buhari was president,?

Repentant?

El rufai is now a cleric

Orooo

Fulani should not be allowed in the southwest region, they are not welcome

All fulani should move put of southwest
