LG crisis: Forceful takeover of Osun Govt will lead to anarchy – Lawyer warns FG, APC
An Abuja based lawyer and rights activist, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has warned the Federal Government and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, that any attempt to forcefully take over the government of Osun State will lead to unimaginable chaos and anarchy.
The lawyer warned the actors in the unfolding political crisis over the running of local governments in osun to thread softly and toe the part of justice and peace.
Addressing a media conference in Abuja on Wednesday at his law firm, Olajengbesi faulted the forceful take over over of the local governments in Osun by some groups linked to the APC in the state.
He said that the forceful take over was a like a coup, adding that even if the actors have judgement in their favour, it was completely wrong to take laws into their hands under the guise of enforcing a Court of Appeal judgement.
The lawyer insisted that there are procedures for judgement execution in the country, adding that the way and manner the actors in the Osun local government crisis acted was in breach of the law, and usurpation of functions of those empowered to enforce court judgement.
Olajengbesi said democracy is facing another great challenge in the sense that disregard for laws has become the order of the day on the part of APC members.
“You cannot on your own execute judgement, deliberate attempt to commit coup is what is unfolding in Osun State. The judgement of the Court of Appeal is being deliberately mis-interpreted to suit their actions,” he said.
The lawyer said that he had perused through the Court of Appeal judgement and did not find anywhere where the court made consequential order for the reinstatement of the former local government chairmen.
He said that the issue of reinstatement was not treated by the Court of Appeal on the reasoning by the court itself that the issue has been overtaken by events and thus have become an academic exercise.
He warned against using dishonesty and blackmail against the Court of Appeal judgement to set Osun on fire.
He praised the governor of the state, Senator Ademola Adeleke for asking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, members in the state to stay away from the local governments to avoid unnecessary shedding of blood that may arise in the process.
The lawyer equally appealed to the people of the state to be peaceful and be vigilant in the face of provocation, adding that events will soon show that Nigeria is not a banana republic.
