The All Progressives Congress (APC) has filed a lawsuit against Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State for allegedly appointing a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC).
The APC argues that the appointment of a card-carrying member of a political party to such an important position violates the principle of neutrality and impartiality in the electoral process.
The party is seeking to have the appointment of the OSIEC Chairman declared null and void.
The lawsuit has sparked a heated debate in the political landscape of Osun State, with supporters of both parties taking to social media to voice their opinions.
Some argue that the appointment is a clear case of political bias, while others believe that the Governor has the right to appoint individuals he deems fit for the position.
The case is currently being heard in the Federal High Court in Osogbo, and the outcome is eagerly awaited by both parties.
If the court rules in favor of the APC, it could have significant implications for the electoral process in the state.
