Lawmakers of the Osun State House of Assembly, under the leadership of the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Hon. Adewale Egbedun has affirmed the elected chairmen on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the legitimate executives in charge of local government councils across the state.
Raising a matter of urgent public importance, Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi, IREKANDU, lawmaker representing Obokun State constituency decried the ongoing crisis at the local councils, calling it regrettable.
The Speaker, OSHA, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, subsequently passed the resolution, which was unanimously adopted by the House.
This was as the lawmakers cautioned the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) against releasing council allocations to the sacked APC chairmen, pointing out that a court ruling had removed them from office and the state electoral commission had officially withdrawn their Certificates of Return.
This was disclosed in the Assembly, during plenary on Thursday, 19th June, 2025.
Subsequently, the Speaker, Hon. Adewale Egbedun, passed the resolution, which was unanimously adopted by the House.
Other lawmakers supported his position, expressing concern over reports that the CBN was allegedly preparing to channel LG allocations into unauthorized accounts accessible to the ousted officials.
The Majority Leader, Hon. Kofoworola Adewumi, moved a resolution to resist attempts to unseat the PDP chairmen elected on February 22, 2025, which was seconded by Hon. Olujinmi Asagade of Ejigbo.
