The Osun State Caucus in the 10th National Assembly has accused the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, of allegedly masterminding the move to violently take over local government secretariats across the state.
Describing the development as a clear invitation to anarchy, the lawmakers alleged that the move is being orchestrated by Oyetola despite a subsisting court judgment affirming the removal of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-backed local government officials.
The forum accused Oyetola, who is the immediate past governor of the state, of conniving with the Commissioner of Police, the Director of State Security Service (SSS), and the State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) to unleash mayhem in Osun.
Members of the caucus include Deputy Senate Minority Leader, Senator Akogun Olalere Oyewumi, Senator Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, and Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunnla.
Others are Hon. Bamidele Salami, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, Hon. Taofeek Abimbola Ajilesoro, Hon. Clement Akanni Olohunwa, Hon. Soji Adetunji, Hon. Adebayo Morufu Adewale, Hon. Mudashiru Lukman, Hon. Lanre Oladebo, and Hon. Sanya Omirin.
Speaking at a press conference on behalf of his colleagues at the National Assembly complex in Abuja on Monday, lawmaker representing Ede North/Ede South/Ejigbo/Egbedore federal constituency, Bamidele Salami, condemned the “brazen effrontery of the sacked Local Government Council officials to return to office notwithstanding the yet-to-be-set-aside decision of the Court of Appeal, Akure, against their return to the office.”
On Monday, several people were injured across local government areas of Osun State as a crisis rocked the state over the controversy surrounding the Appeal Court judgment on sacked local government chairmen in the state.
