The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Friday, urged security agencies in Osun State to take action and ensure that local government officials elected in the October 15, 2022, election resume their respective duty posts as soon as possible.
The Court of Appeal, Akure Division, recently upheld the appeal filed by the chairmen and councillors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, dismissing the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party against the election as presumptive.
Speaking in Osogbo during a meeting with the elected chairmen and councillors, Oyetola assured them that they would return to their offices, relying solely on the rule of law.
The former Osun governor, who was accompanied at the meeting by the state APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, former Deputy Governor Benedict Alabi, Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Bola Oyebamiji, and others, warned against acts of lawlessness.
