Osun: APP sues APC over lingering LG crisis

Action Peoples Party (APP) has sued All Progressives Congress (APC), its state chairman and others for contempt, following the refusal of sacked local government executives to vacate office.

APP is challenging APC at the Federal High Court, Osogbo, Osun State in suit number FHC/OS/CS/103/22 and joined Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and others as defendants.

APP said the matter was filed in pursuant to judgment of November 30, 2022.

The suit noted that the Federal High Court judgment tagged the conduct of the poll as unconstitutional, invalid, null and void, subsequently sacking them from holding offices.

The plaintiff prayed the court to commit the defendants to prison for contempt if they fail to comply with the court judgment.

The motion said: “This court has been informed that even as at today, March 11, you are yet to comply with the lawful order of the Federal High Court by forcefully occupying offices in the 30 councils in the state.

“You are hereby directed to comply with the court order forthwith by vacating the offices or you will be guilty of contempt of court.”
