The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Saturday night commended the people of the state for boycotting the illegal local government council election conducted by the “partisan” Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC).
The party expressed excitement with the massive boycott of the election across the 30 local government council areas and Modakeke Area Office, stating the reaction of the residents to the charade promoted by the government is a testimony that the people of the state are law-abiding, democratic and decent for standing with the rule of law. It said this was in sharp contrast to the action of the state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, who despite the security advisories to shelve the controversial poll, chose to tread the path of infamy, perfidy and disobedience to the law of the land.
Speaking with Journalists last night, the Osun State APC Director of Media and Information Barrister, Kola Olabisi noted that opposition APC hinted that the resolve of the Osun citizens to stay away from the sham election had further canonized them as true men and women of virtues who take premium in equity, fairness and justice as the foundation of any democratic development.
