The Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, not to release updated voters’ register to the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission.
The party also told INEC not to give any support to OSIEC for the purpose of the planned local government election in the state.
A statement by the PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman in Osun, Dr Adekunle Akindele, obtained in Osogbo on Saturday, maintained that the planned council election was illegal and unconstitutional.
It further read in parts, “We call on INEC to desist from supporting illegality. Any support rendered to OSIEC may tarnish the integrity of the national electoral body. We can confirm that all the court processes and hearing notices in the matter have been served on OSIEC and INEC.
“We reinforce our condemnation of the OSIEC Chairman for his desperation despite the pendency of litigation in court. We express our confidence that the judiciary is up to the task to undo whatever illegality the OSIEC might have perpetrated.”
