The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Hashim Abioye, announced this on Saturday, February 22.
The election was held today despite calls by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, and the Police to suspend the elections.
The AGF had argued that the Court of Appeal, Akure division, on February 10, 2025, nullified the judgement of the Federal High Court, Osogbo, delivered on November 25, 2022.He stated that the verdict of the appellate court implied that the All Progressives Congress (APC) local council chairmen formerly sacked by the lower court have been restored.
The police hinged the decision to call for a suspension of the polls on intelligence report of security threats during the election.
