... Warn Gov Adeleke, OSSIEC against 'Illegal' LG election

...mourn death of colleague, others[/i]

Following the official resumption of office by the reinstated local government officials in Osun, the council chairmen and councillors have ordered immediate frozen of various council accounts as they formally resumed duty on Wednesday.

The Council Chairmen warned Governor Ademola Adeleke and others in charge of the council resources to steer clear of public funds saying "any form of illegal transaction will have consequences".

The reinstated chairmen and councillors cautioned the state government and chairman of Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) to shelve the planned local government election as there's no vacancy in any of the 30 councils for them to fix.

This is even as they mourned the untimely death of the members of the party particularly the Irewole Local Government Chairman, Hon. Remi Abass who was gruesomely killed by suspected political assailants on Monday.

Addressing a Press Conference at Ilerioluwa Campaign Office, Osogbo, Chairman Ifedayo Local Government, Hon. Abiodun Idowu applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his exemplary leadership and strict adherence to the rule of law just as he hailed high sense of professionalism and commitment exhibited by the security agencies in the state.

Hon. Idowu who is the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON Chairman, reassured their readiness to good governance at the grassroots saying, "having returned to office, we want to reaffirm our commitment to serving our people more and our social contract to create job and wealth for the teeming youth of the state will be implemented without compromise"

"All our Chairmen will work assiduously to create value chains in agricultural sector so that food security will be ensured in our state. We will devote attention to mechanized farming so farmers across the state will have a new lease of life. We are aware of the shortage of teachers in our schools and health professionals in all our health centres and facilities. We declare to fill this shortage in no distant time.

"We have met as an association and concluded that the 1500 teachers and over 2000 health workers employed by the APC Government of HE Adegboyega Oyetola but which were sacked on assumption of Office of Governor Ademola Adeleke will be reabsorbed into the system.

"Since their salaries and emoluments are statutorily charged from the Local Government Allocation, we hold that bringing them back on board to render essential services to the people of the state will not halt or hinder the progress of governance in the state.

"We know Government exists because of the people and it is our responsibility as Leaders of governments at the local government to prioritize the welfare and well-being of the Citizens. The Modalties for the re-absorption of the 1,500 teachers and over 2,000 health workers will be communicated to the concerned employees in the due course", Idowu reaffirmed.

He said the council chairmen and councillors were ready to work with the state government to collectively ensure the dividends of democracy for the people of the state.

While reassuring their commitment to hit the ground running, Idowu appealed to the people of the various councils to continue to support their Chairmen and councillors as they resumed to work.

He lamented the needless crisis that trailed the resumption on Monday just as he urged the security agencies not to relent on their oars to maintaining law and order in the state.

"In the Carnage that took place on Monday and afterwards, we lost more than seven members of our party and supporters; while many of them sustained varying degrees of injuries. One of the victims was a prominent member of our Association, Hon. Aderemi Abass. We pray God forgive his shortcomings, accept his soul and grant his family the strength to withstand the exit of their breadwinner and patriotic Nigerian.

"For record purpose, we lost two of our members in Irewole Local Government, 7 persons were seriously injured also in Ilesa West, 3 members wounded including the security personnel; and in Isokan, they killed our Ward 2 Chairman while 10 people were wounded. Similarly in Ile-Ife, 8 members of our party were seriously injured and in Iwo two were feared dead. In total 8 people confirmed dead while 49 persons were seriously injured and hospitalized.

"We want to respectfully appeal to the Nigerian Police Force, Directorate of State Security and other security agencies to fish out the killers of Hon. Remi Abass and other APC members bludgeoned to death by hoodlums on Monday", Idowu appealed.

"We call on the Security to Invite for interrogation the Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Akogun Lere Oyewumi and Member of the Osun State House of Assembly representing Isokan/Irewole State Constituency, Hon. Abiola Ibrahim Inaolaji.

"There are credible information linking the two PDP politicians to the killing of Hon. Remi Abass.

"Senator Lere Oyewumi has a history of inciting members of his party against opposition members. In fact, in 2023, the killing of a Ward Treasurer of our Party in Ikire, Saheed Oyegunju, who was kidnapped and later killed by hoodlums adorning PDP attires, has been reportedly linked to him. The Police must do everything within the law to investigate all the rumours linking Lere Oyewumi to political thuggery and infamy in Irewole and environs.

"We also have on good authority that that killers of Hon. Remi Abass parted from an abode belonging to Hon. Inaolaji. The Police and other security agencies must work hard to fish out the Perpetrators of wanton killing of Hon. Remi Abass," Idowu explained.

The Shocking Murder of Hon. Remi Abass: We Will Not Back Down

This is a period of immense pain and agony for me, the progressive family and the good people of Irewole. The democratically elected Chairman of Irewole Local Government Area; Hon. Remi Abass was murdered in the course of seeking justice for his people and his beloved Local Government Area. This is depressing and irreplaceable. As a people of faith, we hope for divine strength at this time with a firm resolve to seek justice for the fallen hero regardless of the cost.


We are aware of the antecedent of our political opponents and detractors. Their signatures are all over the crime scene. It has become their pattern to deploy violence and intimidation as tools for political dominance. However, the latest gruesome murder of Hon. Remi will be prosecuted with all the strength and resources it requires. Our gaze is fixated on justice, and justice we shall get. As a political family, we demand that the security agencies do everything possible to bring the killers of Hon Remi Abass, and other members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) killed across Osun to book swiftly.


To the immediate family of Hon. Abass, his friends and members of the APC in Irewole and Osun, this loss hits differently. It is one death that must not be in vain. Consequently, we must maintain our gaze and grip on the main issue. A judgement was delivered by the Court of Appeal on the 10th of February, 2025 nullifying the unjust removal of Hon. Abass and others from their rightful positions. That judgement was what Hon. Abass held in his hands until he was hacked to death.


As we mourn our friends and associates who were killed in the struggle for justice, let us remain vigilant and ensure that we conduct ourselves within the ambit of the law. Our party is a party of peace and brave minds. We shall press on and will not back down until justice is obtained regardless of the negative tactics of the people whose only negotiating tool is violence.

You are already constituting nuisance here on this forum just as the sacked APC chairmen are doing in osun

The dancing clown is on his way out.

One midnight court order go surface on Friday...stopping the LG elections.

Go and keep your self busy rather than spreading false information

The murder of Remi Abass was a great mistake that sounds the death knell for PDP governance in Osun State. Unfortunately so because the PDP government of Nuru Adeleke appeared to be providing good governance in Osun State.

Anarchy looming.

Answer I'm waiting , in your mind you think thede clowns are the Messiah if yes show me what they did before they were sacked

No tangible development or what the heck did you just type? Mention one LG in Osun State that a project is not ongoing at the moment..... So, because PDP is handling the State now, all you have to do is discredit their efforts. Mind you, I'm not from Osun and I don't live there....but at least once every week I go there and I can say the govt is really trying.

Who reinstated the alabosis

fergie001:
Let me do the Osun thread here because of my good friend Johnny...

The PDP filed a suit before the Federal High Court, Osogbo on 27/7/22, challenging the planned abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of LG Elections. The PDP argued that it is not the duty of the Assembly to abridge the time as it is already encapsulated in the Electoral Act 2022, and doing so makes it inconsistent with Sections 29, 30 & 32 of the EA 2022 and also a previous Supreme Court Judgement on this.

However, the APC went on with the bill for abridgement and then Gov, Oyetola signed on 1/8/22. Thereafter, on 15/8/22, notices were published for LG election to be held on 15/10/22. The PDP sought the leave of Court to amend their Originating Summons which the APC argued they didn't have the jurisdiction, however the learned Judge upheld the arguments and allowed for amendment which took place in September 2022.

Parties to the suit filed by PDP were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC & Ors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the notices of 15/8/2022, another Political Party, APP filed a suit, also challenging the legality and otherwise of the abridged time and the LG Election.

Parties to the suit were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC, APM, APGA & Ors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delivering Judgement on 25/11/22 on the PDP suit, the Federal High Court invalidated the election and sacked all elected LG Chairmen and Councillors with CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.

On 30/11/22, in the APP suit, the Federal High Court also invalidated the election with the same CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.

1. That the notice of election on 15/8/22 was invalid, illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.

2. That all elected LG Chairmen/Councillors vacate their Offices immediately.

3. That the bill for the abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of the election is thereby struck out.
------------------------------------------------------------
2 separate Federal High Court Judgements sacked those LG Chairmen/Councillors in 2022.

Anarchy that T-Pain and his OleTola brother are labouring in vain to foment in Osun, but God pass them and their devilish ways.

fergie001:
As expected, APC & Ors appealed both judgements.
That of the APP was filed 2/12/22 and that of the PDP in Jan 2023.

We deal with that of the APP here:

Now, the appellants in the image below, filed their motion on notice and even sought reliefs also cited below:

The Records of Appeal should ordinarily get to the Appeal Court in a maximum 60 days but OSSIEC argued that it was past 23 months and no record of appeal hence the appeal should be dismissed.

On 13/1/25, the lawyer for the appellants (APM & APC) admitted that he had not heard from his client since 2/12/2022. Hence, the appeal Court dismissed the Appeal, upholding the decision of the Federal High Court with all its consequential orders. (image 4)

THIS ORDER IS STILL VALID AND SUBSISTING.

APC propaganda, so pe otilo.

fergie001:
Now to APC's appeal against the PDP.

The APC entered 9 Grounds of appeal; The Appeal Court formulated four questions for determination as stated in Image 3.

Summarily, on Issue 1: The Court held that the amended Originating Summons shouldn't have been allowed because it was incompetent.
The Appeal Court also held that it was premature, as there was no reasonable cause of action.

The suit was filed July 2022, whilst then Governor Oyetola signed the bill on 1/8/22 and notices were published on 15/8/22, hence the Court had no jurisdiction whatsoever to have entertained a suit without a cause of action. It is the cause of action that births a RIGHT OF ACTION.

On Issues 3 & 4: Don't forget that Issue 4 is on the validity of the reinstatement of those officials.

The Court held that these issues were academic and they will not venture to go into it. (Image 4)

Now Issues 1 & 2 are in favour of the appellants, no cause of action, the trial Court was wrong to have granted leave for amendment of the OS.

Now Issues 3 & 4... How far? No judgement z no consequential order.. nothing

Let's not also forget, about the valid order in the APP issue already upheld by the Appeal Court and still EXISTING.

99.9% of Nigerian politicians are wicked. They are all there to steal and invariably kill the dreams of their people. So, no Bleep given. The fight is not for their people; it’s for how they will steal and destroy millions of lives. So , who cares ?
