Local government elections conducted by the Oyetola led government in Osun state has been nullified, News Live Nigeria reports.
A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has nullified the local government elections conducted by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) on October 15, 2022.
Justice Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel, in a judgment on Friday, said the election was held in contravention of Sections 29 & 32 of the Electoral Act, 2022.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had approached the court asking it to stop OSIEC from going ahead with the planned polls.
This is coming as the Osun state governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke of the PDP, is to take over from the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government in the state in about 48 hours.
