Chairmen and councillors elected in the February 22, 2025 Osun local government election on Friday resumed in some council secretariats in the state, despite warnings from the All Progressives Congress.
The deputy spokesperson for Osun State Governor, Oladele Bamiji, said the resumption followed the judgment of the Federal High Court, which declared that the tenure of the current APC chairmen running the council areas in the state had ended.
A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the state capital, on Monday dismissed a suit filed by APC chairmen elected in the October 15, 2022 LG elections seeking to determine when their tenure of office would end.
Following the court ruling, Bamiji said the PDP chairmen returned to council areas in Ede North, Ede South, Iwo, Boripe and Ila Local Government Areas.
Saturday PUNCH gathered that at the entrance to the premises of Olorunda Local Government Area in Igbona, Osogbo, there was a shouting match between police operatives and PDP officials who attempted to return to the secretariat.
