The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state on Saturday demanded immediate postponement of the May 22, 2021 LG election in the state.
Addressing a press conference organised by the Association of Local government of Nigeria (ALGON).in Ibadan, the Oyo state Caretaker Chairman of APC in Oyo State, Chief Akin Oke, disclosed that the postponement was to allow APC participate in the election.
Chief Oke stressed that APC as a party could not ” be part of the preparation for that election at the initial stage because we felt the dissolution of democratically elected chairmen and councillors was illegal”.
“Now that we have been vindicated, it is thus right for the government to give a level playing field inorder for us to test our popularity”, he said.
Oyo state ALGON Chairman, Prince Ayodeji Abass Aleshinloye said the victory by the Chairmen at the
Supreme court ” is dedicated to the immediate past two– term Governor of Oyo State, Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi who was instrumental to the victory based on his support .
“He was the driving force who advised that we should not cause problem in the State, but to follow the rule of law by going to Court”, he said.
Prince Aleshinloye then expressed appreciation to all those who contributed to the victory.
