Osun LG Polls: APC Says Judgement Will Not Stand

By Ayodele Oni

The All Progressive Congress, (APC) in Osun state has notified that it will appeal against the judgement of the federal high court which nullified the local government election and sacked chairmen and councilors.

Reacting to the judgement, in a statement, the party advised members not to loose hope as the appellate court will reverse the decision.

The State Deputy Chairman of the APC, Sooko Taju Lawal, the development was just a temporary setback which would be redressed in an appellate court.

Lawal told the council political functionaries and all the members of the party to continue to embrace peace and shun any manner of provocation that may emanate from the Federal High Court judgement.

He reminded them that under no circumstance must they lose their composure and placidity as ardent believers in the rules of law.

Lawal stated that the hallmark of any progressive politician is always the willingness to act in tandem with the rules of law.

“Our party is taking all necessary  legal steps to ensure that the judgement that nullified the local government council elections would not stand.

“We need your continued co-operation to weather the storm with an assurance that there’s a bright light at the end of the tunnel.”

He also assured the party members and stakeholders that the ongoing litigation at the tribunal over the last governorship election  in the state was on course.

Lawal, who enjoined the APC stakeholders to continue with their ceaseless prayers in order to reclaim the stolen mandate of Governor Gboyega Oyetola by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate disclosed that there’s nothing that prayers cannot do.
