Osun APC Admits Yes/No Chairmen Not Reinstated, Appeals APP Judgement
Osun state government is finally vindicated as the Osun State APC and its allies have finally appealed the judgement of the Federal High Court sacking the Yes/No Chairmen.
APC had been in denial of the existence of the judgement sacking its kangaroo chairmen and has been holding unto a non – existing court order from the Court of Appeal.
Reports indicated that the state APC was advised to face reality and address the FHC judgment which remains unvacated and binding.
The application for the re-enlistment of the APC’s appeal which was dismissed by the Court of Appeal against the APP’s judgment came up today at the Court of Appeal, Akure.
Many APC leaders were spotted at the Appeal Court.
It would be recalled that the APC initial appeal was dismissed by the Appeal Court due to lack of diligent prosecution which in effect validated the Federal High Court judgement sacking the YES/NO Chairman.
Apart from the denial which has continued to haunt the Osun APC now and their sacked Chairmen who illegally and violently broke into the council offices across Osun State, another undoing of Osun APC is the recent Supreme Court decision holding that Federal High Court has jurisdiction to entertain local government election matters especially when the provisions of the Electoral Act are at play before the Court.
The YES/NO election conducted during the APC administration in Osun State was widely condemned as falling short of legitimacy and legal standards which led the Court to nullify it. The effect is that the YES/NO chairmen remain sacked till date.
More details are coming.
