Tension in Osun as APC Takes Over Local Government Council

Tension is brewing in Osun State as the All Progressives Congress (APC) takes over the Local Government Council. This development comes after the Court of Appeal reinstated the elected council chairmen and councillors.

The APC in Osun State has welcomed the court’s verdict, describing it as a “sound judgment” and a “welcome development”. The party’s chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, praised the justices for their decision, stating that it was a victory for democracy.

However, the takeover has sparked tension in the state, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) reportedly at odds with the APC over the council polls.

The PDP has expressed dissatisfaction with the court’s decision, claiming that it was unjust and unfair. The party has vowed to challenge the verdict at the Supreme Court.

On the other hand, the APC has maintained that the court’s decision was a reflection of the will of the people. The party has urged its members to remain calm and law-abiding, even in the face of provocation.

The situation is being closely watched, and it remains to be seen how the takeover will play out. The Osun State Government has assured citizens that it will do everything possible to maintain peace and order in the state.

As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: the takeover of the Local Government Council by the APC has opened up a new chapter in the politics of Osun State. Only time will tell how this development will shape the future of the state.
