The Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, Ondo State, has adjourned its ruling on the application brought by the APC  to relist the Appeal involving the sacked chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) after hearing arguments from both the APC, OSSIEC and Action People’s Party (APP) legal representatives.

The sacked chairmen had earlier approached the Appeal Court seeking to relist the case that was previously dismissed by the same court for want of diligent prosecution on the part of the APC. The appellants are requesting the court to reinstate the matter for proper hearing and determination.

The panel, after hearing submissions from both sides, reserved judgment and announced an adjournment to a date yet to be disclosed.

In the submission of the OSSIEC counsel, Musibau Adetunbi, SAN, called the attention of the court to the fact that the court is bound to take judicial notice of its first judgement earlier delivered in January 2025 dismissing the appeal of the applicant

He further argued that Counsel to APC cannot rightly claim that he was incommunicado with his client. He noted that there are further evidences as filed in marked exhibits before the court, on other cases where the same counsel, Muhydeen Adeoye (a.k.a Galadima) was filing briefs for his client in the same court, which showed that they were actually communicating. Therefore, there is no basis to claim that he lost communication with his client.

The 3 man panel led by Justice O.F Omoleye after hearing submissions from both sides, reserved ruling and announced an adjournment to a date yet to be disclosed.

Recall that in February this year, the sacked APC Yes or No chairmen in Osun State violently took over local government secretariats across the state with the backing of security agents, an action which was widely criticized as illegal and violation of due process. The move heightened tensions in the state and drew condemnation from some stakeholders who viewed it as a breach of constitution and legal procedures

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
