Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has asked the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, to reverse the appointment of Hashim Abioye as the Chairman of Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, without further delay.<\/p>\n

Abioye, alleged to be a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, was before the recent appointment as Adeleke\u2019s Special Adviser on Legal Matters.<\/p>\n

The appointment was earlier rejected by the Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, Osun State chapter.<\/p>\n

Osun IPAC, in rejecting the appointment, maintained that it is a desecration of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

IPAC also added that with Abioye heading OSSIEC, the body cannot conduct a credible election in the state.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the development, the Osun APC chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement in Osogbo on Monday, demanded the reversal of the appointment.<\/p>\n

Parts of the statement read, \u201cWith the appointment of one of the Adeleke appointees as the OSSIEC chairman, there is nothing that will be independent in the activities of the commission except its nomenclature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment of Abioye as the OSSIEC chairman pointed to the fact that those who advise Adeleke have so many questions to answer on political propriety, morality and fair play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appointment of Adeleke\u2019s SA as the chairman of the OSSIEC has bastardized the statutory purpose of the commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necessary for Adeleke to allow the OSSIEC to act its name as what is now transpiring in the commission is an aberration which is visibly antithetical to genuine constitutional government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sensitivity of the expected functions of the OSSIEC demands that it is headed by a non-partisan entity whose activities would not be subjected to controversial political caprices and undertones.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the appointment of one of the Adeleke\u2019s lap dogs as the chairman of the OSSIEC, it\u2019s bye-bye to democracy at the local government level in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
