LIES AND FALLACIES OF APC FALSE ALARM

1. Governor Ademola Adeleke is a leader who adheres strictly to the rule of law and not involved in any plot to procure Court judgement. The Governor is not the initiator of the three Court cases APC is now scared of;

2. APC faces three Court cases filed by stakeholders whose rights have been infringed by the invasion and hijack of council secretariats by the APC;

3. Governor Adeleke is not planning any attacks on the illegal Yes/No chairmen. The Governor has always preached rule of law as a basis for resolving the LG feud;

4. The cases in court were filed at Ilesa, Ikirun and Osogbo. The judiciary has a duty to hear cases and deliver judgement accordingly;

5. Amotekun has no political partisan role. The reform of Amotekun is to support official state security agencies for a better secured Osun state;

6. The DSS, the IGP and NSA have good understanding of happenings in Osun state. They know the Governor saved Osun from bloodbath by his embrace of rule of law after APC resorted to self help;

7. Osun APC rather than the governor resorted to self help by using non-existing court order to invade and hijack local government secretariats;

8. The Court of Appeal Ruling at Akure *contains no reinstatement order*. The appeal court did not restore The Yes/No chairmen because the Judgement that sacked them remains unvacated;

9. Local government workers out of their own volition went on strike for their own safety after illegals take over of the council secretariats. They also went to Court to seek interpretation and legality of action of the Yes /No Chairmen. Governor Adeleke was not responsible for the LG workers decision;

10. Essential services at local government are running smoothly from health to school facilities. State of origin and state identification have both been fully digitized and marriage events is planned to be hosted at Local government service commission at Osogbo any moment from now;

11. APC tauntrum and blackmail of judges is condemnable and we believe the NBA should condemn such anti-democratic conduct. The judges have a duty to hear cases assigned to them without fear or favor;

12. The cases against Osun APC are before the public and the judges have every legal duty to deliver judgements. Osun APC is afraid that its illegal occupation Of local government secretariats have no legal basis, hence its resorting to lies and falsehood;

13. Those who file cases expect the court to decide on the reliefs they sought and the reliefs to upturn illegal occupation of secretariats are all before the public. The court will decide;

14. Direct attack on Justice Aderibigbe and others is anti-democratic and anti-judiciary. The attacks are to blackmail and stop the judiciary from carrying out its duties. We call on NBA to condemn this evil act;

15. It is a false alarm to accuse the state of mobilising thugs to attack the illegal Yes/No chairmen. When the judges rule, we expect all democrats to abide by the Court ruling;

16. The State PDP did not approach the Supreme Court on the Akure Court of Appeal ruling because the judgement was explicit enough as it has *no consequential orders reinstating Yes/No chairmen*. Only the APC seeking powers by the back door lied and disrupted good governance at the local level;

17. The entirety of the APC press conference is based on false alarm, lies and fear of justice from the judiciary.

18. We affirm that neither Governor Adeleke nor Amotekun is planning any violence now or later;

19. All stakeholders and good people of Osun have absolute faith in the judiciary hence by resorting to rule of law. They expect a just outcome which the state APC is afraid of.
