APC, PDP in war of words over lingering local government crises in Oyo
DAILY POST gathered that the local government system in the state is currently in the state of dilemma over who are the authentic Chairmen between the local government Chairmen who were sacked by Governor Seyi Makinde last year and those he recently appointed as Caretakers.
APC said, “Imagine Oyo State AG and Justice Commissioner admitting that Nigeria is operating a federal system of government, which guarantees independence for the three tiers of government in which Oyo AG freely and happily quoted the Supreme Court judgement of Federal Government versus Lagos State on one hand but hypocritically refused to acknowledge the similarity in the Supreme Court verdict of Olubunmi versus Ekiti State government, which is applicable to the constitutional logjam we are...
“While Governor Seyi Makinde was in court for his governorship election, President Muhammadu Buhari never asked him to step aside, we are surprised at the interpretation of the federal system of government as it is applicable to the PDP government of Engr Seyi Makinde, asking elected council officials to step aside and then appoint caretaker chairmen to usurp their positions when the government openly admitted that the elected officials have litigation against the government.
“No one would have expected that the APC’s desperation and penchant for lawlessness would go to the extent of shedding bloods. But we are not surprised that it could come out to tell barefaced lies to the world that Governor Makinde, a peace-loving individual, has brought violence back to Oyo State.
