The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke to comply with the Court of Appeal ruling reinstating APC local government chairmen and councillors.

Mr Kola Olabisi, the party’s Osun chapter Director of Media and Publicity, made the call in Abuja on Sunday. He spoke at a news conference about Osun’s political situation.

He stated that governance should prioritise democracy dividends, truth, and due process, not political vendettas. He criticised the ongoing discord between Adeleke and his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola.

Olabisi described the conflict between Adeleke and Oyetola, now Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, as political mockery that damages Osun’s reputation for political wisdom.

“We are deeply concerned about the political mockery in Osun, a state known for the intelligence and political astuteness of its people,” he said.

He noted that for three weeks, Osun had received negative media coverage due to Adeleke’s refusal to implement the ruling reinstating APC’s sacked local government chairmen.

Olabisi expressed disappointment that Adeleke ignored advice from the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Inspector-General of Police to respect the court’s decision.

“The ongoing political crisis shows that Governor Adeleke has lost public trust. He is now struggling to maintain control,” he said.

He urged Adeleke to implement the Court of Appeal’s Feb. 10 judgment in the interest of the rule of law.

Olabisi defended Oyetola’s administration, stating that all legal and procedural requirements were followed. He dismissed claims that procurement rules were violated as misleading.

He noted that contracts awarded under Oyetola’s tenure adhered strictly to the State Public Procurement Law, countering allegations of irregularities.
