Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Osun Stare has rejected the nominees of Governor Ademola Adeleke as chairman of the Osun Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC).<\/p>\n

Osun IPAC, in rejecting the OSIEC nominees as constituted by the state governor, maintained that it is a desecration of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that they can not conduct a credible election in the state.<\/p>\n

In a statement jointly signed by Wale Adebayo and Tosin Odeyemi, Osun IPAC Chairman and Secretary, on Thursday, it was held that the person nominated as OSIEC chairman is a card-carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and a serving Senior Special Assistant to Governor Adeleke on legal matters.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, \u201cBarrister Abioye lacks proven honesty to lead the commission and should therefore be disqualified by the House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brazen imposition of a card-carrying member and prominent member of the PDP in Osun State is distasteful, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is legally unqualified to conduct free and fair elections in the state and we urge the governor to correct the anomaly, which is a desecration of the express provisions of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which he swore to uphold,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

Governor Adeleke had forwarded the name of Hashim Abioye as his nomination for OSIEC Chairman to the Osun State House of Assembly on Thursday for confirmation.<\/p>\n

The Osun Assembly Speaker, Adewale Egbedun, in confirming the receipt of the governor\u2019s nomination, directed the nominees to forward their curriculum vitae to the Assembly for screening.<\/p>\n
