OSOGBO - 21/02/2025 - Osunstate.gov.ng

Governor Ademola Adeleke has affirmed that local government election scheduled for tommorow is holding unfailingly under the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC).

The Governor made the assertion this morning while receiving a delegation of civil society coalition who are in the state to monitor the local government elections.

According to the Governor, Osun voters are prepared to exercise their voting rights on Saturday even as he expressed satisfaction with the level of preparation by the electoral body.

“I welcome you all to Osun state. Our people are prepared for elections tommorow. They yearn to have their choices as chairmen and councillors.

“OSSIEC has also done marvelous preparatory job according to reports at my disposal. Several political parties are participating and I believe there will be a level playing ground for all to test their popularity with the masses”, the Governor told the visiting activists.

On controversy over the election, the Governor asserted that democracy is governed by rule of law and that nobody can assume the authority of the courts.

“My advice to all parties including local and national stakeholders is to abide by democratic norms. As for me and my people, we stand by the rule of law, not illega self- help.

“Election is going to hold and the outcome will be a fast tracked development at the local level. I urge our people to remain peaceful. Osun is a truly peaceful state”, Governor Adeleke noted.

There are no vacancies across Local Government councils in Osun state.

Peter Obi went to the same Court of Appeal to reclaim his mandate and he was allowed to fully serve his term of office. The elected local government council officials should be allowed to fully serve their term of office which will expire in October, 2025 as directed by the court. There is no need for any urgent election except those to be elected will assume office in October.

There are no vacancies across local government councils in Osun state. A fresh election when the tenure of those previously elected haven’t ended is an undemocratic way to resolve an act of impunity and lawlessness committed by the governor.

Nurudeen Ademola Jackson should stop the impunity and respect the judgement of the court. When you’re in a hole, you fvcking stop digging. Allocations from FAAC will only be released to the council officials whose election have been validated by the court.

Yes, there wouldn't be after Sunday.

Saturday’s election is only an academic exercise and a waste of time and money. Those already in office will remain so till October, 2025.

Lol. Olodo. The court invalidated the High Court judgement that was the basis for sacking them. There is no need for any reinstatement order as that would be simply academic. The judgement is clear as daylight.

Saturday’s election is only an academic exercise and a waste of time and money. Those already in office will remain so till October, 2025. They are the only ones who will get allocation directly from FAAC. If Demola Jackson and Davido wants to fund the clowns they intend to announce as winners tomorrow from their pockets till October, so be it.

The CSO of Osun State have spoken. Election is holding tomorrow in Osun, if you know you don't want Peace in Osun stay away from that state tomorrow
