ABUJA – The All Progressives Congress (APC), has not only condemned the Osun state Local Government election conducted by Governor Ademola Adeleke, but described it as disgraceful sham, illegal and unconstitutional.

Listing why the election should not have been conducted, the APC also warned that Governor Adeleke must remedy the flagrant breach of his oath of office.

The APC, in a statement by its spokesman, Felix Morka said, “the purported last Saturday’s fresh election conducted by Governor Adeleke and his PDP is nothing but a disgraceful sham, illegal, unconstitutional and violently contemptuous of the valid and subsisting judgment of the Court of Appeal, and of no effect whatsoever. The exercise was a reckless waste of public funds, and an irresponsible incitement to further violence in an already volatile atmosphere in the state.

“We urge Governor Adeleke to immediately end his illegal and anti-democratic push for fresh local government election, and abide by the valid judgment of the Court of Appeal in the matter.”

Warning the Governor of the implication of what he did by conducting the election in flagrant disobedience to the court, the APC said that federal allocation will only be available to democratically elected local government.

“In keeping with the rule of law, it is our expectation that the Federal Government will make federal allocation for local governments available only to democratically elected and judicially certified local government officials in Osun state,” APC cautioned.

The party noted that Osun local government election was conducted in wonton disregard to the rule of law.
