The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has hailed the Court of Appeal judgment reinstating the elected council Chairmen and Councillors who were chased out of office by Governor Ademola Adeleke's government over two years ago.
The APC lauded the Justices for a sound verdict delivered describing it as a welcome development which has further proven the 'power of light over darkness'.
The party specifically acknowledged the tremendous contributions of the immediate past governor and the current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, who has been unilaterally financing the party particularly most of the litigations filed.
It would be recalled that the local government officers who were elected on October 15th, 2022 under the platform of the APC were sacked by Governor Ademola Adeleke on assumption of office.
The APC State Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal in a statement issued by the APC Director of Media and Information, Mogaji Kola Olabisi, on Monday, described the Appeal Court's judgment as "voice populi voice dei".
The party acknowledged the implications of the judgment which has given the legal backing to the reinstated council officers to return to office with immediate effect.
According to Lawal: "It is worthwhile to commend the judiciary for always proving to be the hope for a common man as manifested in today's judgment where the Justices of the Court of Appeal unanimously delivered the verdict reinstating the removed APC council Chairmen and Councillors.
"It is still fresh in the memories on how the incumbent Governor Adeleke chased out the elected council officers who were elected in 2022 under the administration of our party's leader, the then Executive Governor, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola.
"But today, we give thanks to God that light has subsumed darkness and we are victorious. The sound judgment unanimously delivered by the Justices of the Appeal Court is a clear testimony of the Osun people's mandate willingly given to our party in all the 30 Local Government Council Areas and Ife-East Modakeke Area Office.
"We commend the Leader of our great party, former Governor of our dear state and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola on this victory. We equally thank him for his continued support to the party.
"No doubt, he has been unilaterally financing all the litigations and cases filed by the party and many more. This has been the driving force and source of motivation for us. We pray God to continue to strengthen him.
"We congratulate all the reinstated council Chairmen and Councillors over this judicial victory. We equally rejoice with the good people of the state for their resilience and support for our party throughout the the dark period. This is a victory for all", Lawal added.
