FG asks Adeleke to suspend planned Osun LG poll
Lateef Fagbemi, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, has appealed to Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun, to direct the state electoral commission to put the forthcoming February 22 LGA elections on hold.
In a statement on Thursday, Fagbemi said the elected LGA chairpersons must be reinstated since the court of appeal had dismissed the judgment of the lower court that sacked them.
“I will appeal to His Excellency, Governor Adeleke, to toe the path of law in this matter and not instigate unnecessary violence in Osun State. Nobody benefits from violence,” AGF said.
“It is, therefore, of utmost importance for Governor Adeleke to advise the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) to shelve the idea of proceeding with any Local Government Election now.”
