Appeal Court Judgement: Court did not reinstate the sacked council bosses, and no order of return to the office. ~ OSSIEC CHAIRMAN
In a significant ruling yesterday, the Appeal Court located in Akure upheld the authenticity of the Local Government Elections conducted in Osun State during the administration of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
During a press conference following the judgment, Hashim, the Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), clarified that the court did not reinstate the previously sacked council chairpersons, nor were there any orders for them to return to their positions.
This ruling adds another layer to the ongoing discussions regarding the legitimacy of the local government elections and the subsequent actions taken against elected officials. As the political landscape in Osun State continues to evolve, the implications of this judgment are yet to be fully realized.
