An All Progressives Congress chieftain, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has called on the Federal Government to release monthly allocations to the court-reinstated APC-elected local government chairmen in Osun State.

Oyintiloye made this appeal in a statement issued on Tuesday after addressing newsmen in Osogbo, the state capital.

While making the appeal, he insisted that the state government would, at the appropriate time, be held accountable for the funds spent on the recently conducted local government election, noting that it is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

“I want to appeal to the Federal Government to start releasing the monthly allocation to the APC-reinstated council chairmen in the state from this month.

“The chairmen were unable to work since 2022 when they were sacked, but now that the Court of Appeal has reinstated them, the allocation should be released to them.

“This is the time for people at the grassroots to feel the impact of government, which has been neglected since 2022,” the APC chieftain appealed.


The former lawmaker also commended the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, for his professionalism in handling security matters in the state.

“I also want to commend the Inspector-General of Police for ensuring peace in the state and for the professional manner in which he has addressed security challenges,” he said.

He praised the reinstated council chairmen for resuming duty despite alleged intimidation by the Peoples Democratic Party and urged local government staff to return to work.

“There is adequate security in place for them to contribute their quota as expected,” he assured.

Oyintiloye emphasised that their resumption would enable the chairmen to focus on delivering the long-awaited dividends of democracy to the grassroots.

Let the billionaire Adeleke family release their personal wealth to the fake LG Chairmen that were voted during the fake election conducted this month

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.

See the images....

Funds go to the newly elected chairmen

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.

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.

Is the C in APC for clueless people

epainos:
No one can win a governor in this local govts' game. The way Oyetola used his position to conduct a shamble election that produced these APC men was the same way Adeleke produced his men last Saturday. Lol.

Adeleke does not need the men to run the local govt. Infact, he really sincerely does not want anyone in the local government, and I am sure he wouldn't mind forfeiting government's allocation for them. All he wants is a selfish ambition and that is to keep APC out of power and from disturbing him so that he can run over them again in 2027 while APC wants to make sure Osun is ungovernable for the rest of his term so they can capitalise on it to remove him from power in 2027. Oyetola is selfish too after all civil servants cursed him out of the state house, he still wants to return because his uncle is the president. Mad man. Someone who should be irrelevant now. He will go the Aregbesola path after his ministerial term cos he doesn't have anything to offer. He is zero upstairs.

Who Will win? The incumbent has the higher chance of winning. As long as he has conducted an election, una all go go to court.

Mad people destroying Nigeria. And Dundee United dey support then like this press9jatg boy who is just parading himself a nuisance on the forum on Oyetola's case. On top how much they have given him. A very shallow person. Na so dem be. Such a person cannot make a meaningful income apart from being an errand boy to those thieves. A wasted life he is living. Should a reasonable human support either of the two useless dem people called adeleke and oyetola? Na poverty na. Is Adeleke a governor any reasonable person should bring back? Or is Oyetola someone anyone should ever try to bring back? Poverty na bastard.

jamafa:
Very funniest part in epistle is "Oyetola doesn't have anything upstairs" that statement often shows you don't understand what you are saying.

U telling me Adeleke is better than Oyetola when it comes to critical thinking and governance??

Ah bah!
