The Osun state chapter of the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) has lambasted Governor Ademola Adeleke over the ongoing crisis in the state on the suspension of the Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Ojo.
APC, through its chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement described Adeleke and House of Assembly as docile noting that “the lawmakers are bundle of entities abundantly lacking what it takes to increase the fortune and prosperity of the state in all ramifications.
He said: “If Governor Adeleke is uninformed about the constitution, he had expected those who are parading themselves as lawmakers would have guided the accidental governor aright.
“When the blind leads the blind, the fall of all of them will be catastrophic which is what is being witnessed in Osun State today. The haphazard handling of the CJ’s suspension by the Osun State lawmakers further confirms the allegation by the public that nothing beneficial to the citizenry can evolve from the assembly which sixteen of its members are alleged to be Yahoo chieftains?
He warned that the state assembly must, urgently, cure itself of the puppeteerist brand it has earned for itself since inauguration.
However, Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), through its chairman, Sunday Bisi backed Adeleke, saying, “the governor has demonstrated competence and patriotism in his handling of state matters by clarifying issues and setting records straight from the crisis within the state judiciary.
Bisi said: “President Bola Tinubu has had cause to adjust or reverse policy pronouncements depending on prevailing situations. The public is aware of more than seven instances where the current federal government directly reversed itself in compliance with new facts and proofs.
“In the case of issues around the Chief Judge, Governor Adeleke had done the right thing by communicating the development to the National Judicial Council for action.
“The NJC had received the governor’s letter since last Thursday, putting paid to all ambiguities and misinformation. The sign of a good leader is the capacity to set records straight in cases of misinformation. This is what Mr Governor has done.
“We reaffirmed its confidence in the leadership style of the State Governor and that of the State Assembly.”
