OSSIEC News

Supreme Court

Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, Hashim Abioye, has declared that the Commission is under no pressure and legal hindrance to go ahead with its already scheduled timetable/activities for the conduct of local government elections in February 2025.

Abioye also maintained that there was no plan to bring forward the date of the election as doing so would be a blatant illegality which would negatively affect the foundation of the election. The chairman made this disclosure in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Yemi Badru and made available to DAILY POST on Friday in Osogbo.

Some people are deliberately misinforming the public or ignorantly postulating that today's Supreme Court judgement has stripped the SIECs of their constitutionally guaranteed electoral mandate. There is nothing of such. 'In the case of OSSIEC, it is the judiciary that sacked purported council officials under the immediate past administration in Osun State that have appealed the judgment.
