This is in accordance with the Federal High Court’s Osogbo-based judgement that dismissed the council members and chairmen of local governments.
Remember that on Friday, Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel of the Osogbo-based Federal High Court ruled that the local government election held by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) was invalid.
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawsuit asking the court to prevent the OSIEC from holding the Osun local government election was the basis for Justice Ayo-Emmanuel’s decision.

Abiodun Idowu, the chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria in Osun, has urged his constituents to maintain composure and harmony.
