The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has commended the people of the state for boycotting what it described as an illegal local government council election conducted by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, on Saturday.

The party expressed satisfaction with the massive boycott of the election across the 30 local government council areas and Modakeke Area Office. It stated that the reaction of residents to what it called a charade promoted by the government was proof that the people of Osun are law-abiding, democratic, and committed to the rule of law. This, the APC claimed, stood in sharp contrast to the actions of Governor Ademola Adeleke, who, despite security advisories urging him to suspend the controversial poll, chose to proceed, demonstrating what the party called infamy, perfidy, and disobedience to the law of the land.

The opposition APC argued that the decision of Osun citizens to stay away from the sham election further reinforced their commitment to equity, fairness, and justice as the foundation of any democratic process.
