It will be recalled that an Appeal Court sitting in Akure on Monday reinstated the elected local government chairmen and councilors sacked by Governor Ademola Adeleke, ordering the immediate resumption back to office.
Meanwhile, OSSIEC, through its Chairman, has filed an appeal against the Appeal Court judgment, saying that there is no court order returning any elected official into office while stressing that local government election will be held in the state.

While speaking on Rédíò Afínju’s Yoruba current affairs program ‘Gbagede Ọrọ,’ Oladapo maintained that OSSIEC as an electoral body should be non-aligned in active partisanship, but the electoral body has subjected itself to an object of ridicule as a result of how the body is handling political power tussle in the State with high favoritism indications.
Oladapo further hinted that if not properly managed, it could lead to unrest in the State at large and also affect the newly agreed local government autonomy, which seeks to make life better for people at the grassroots.
He however urged the youths to shun political thuggery and hooliganism as most political office holders indulge youths to carry out their misdeeds.
