 The Osun State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP has described the local government election fixed for October 15 as illegal.

The Chairman Caretaker Committee of the PDP in Osun state, Akindele Adekunle, alleges that the Local Government election is targeted mainly at wasting resources of the state and to cover for some financial infractions by the outgoing APC government.

Recall that the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) announced on Monday that the local government elections in the state will be held on October 15.

Also, the Chairman of OSIEC, Segun Oladitan, has assured that the electoral body is aware of the amended Electoral Act 2022 and hence, will not run afoul of the law in conducting the polls.
