Ayu, from Benue State, was removed in June 2023, and Damagum has since served as acting chairman.   Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, emphasized the need to resolve the leadership crisis, noting that Damagum’s continuation is a constitutional issue.

By • Olalekan Fagbade Stop campaign of calumny, blackmail against judiciary - Presidency tackles PDP, Atiku: Mr Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has called on the PDP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, its presidential candidate, to stop their campaigns of calumny and blackmail against the judiciary. Onanuga made the call in a statement on Monday in Abuja while reacting to Atiku’s recent allegations against the country’s judiciary . “In separate statements, the PDP and the spokesman of Atiku Abubakar, its defeated presidential candidate in Feb. 25 presidential election, threw caution to the winds. “They assaulted the integrity of the judiciary and made wild and libelous allegations against President Bola Tinubu. “In the wake of the poor run of some elected governors of the party at the appeal court, the PDP and former vice-president and his spokesman have become overtly desperate to hang their woes on President Tinubu and the judiciary, an important arm of government in Nigeria.” He added that in blaming others, Atiku and his party failed to demonstrate whether they had done any soul-searching before going public with their weighty, specious and reckless allegations. He urged Nigerians to disregard the malicious allegations by the PDP and its candidate that Tinubu while he was Governor of Lagos State, silenced the opposition and corrupted the judiciary. He also asked the public to disregard the allegation that Tinubu was planning to foist a one-party state on the country by appointing loyalists as Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs). Onanuga stressed that Tinubu was a democrat to the core who had never interfered with the judgment of the judiciary. “We had witnessed how under his watch, the PDP governor in Osun defeated the APC at the Supreme Court. “Similarly, the PDP governor in Bauchi also won his case in the Appeal Court, beating the APC. “President Tinubu is also not planning to impose a one-party state as Atiku has serially alleged and his party and spokesman have now parroted. “These allegations are deliberately aimed at unnecessarily heating up the polity and causing disenchantment in our country. They exist only in the imagination of the PDP and the former Vice-President,” Onanuga said. He added that unlike Atiku Abubakar, President Tinubu’s record as a democrat par excellence and a strong advocate of the rule of law had been globally acknowledged. According to Onanuga, Tinubu’s record of service as governor which witnessed giant strides in various facets, is responsible for the dominance of his political structure in Lagos State and not by any undemocratic conduct. “In contrast, it is on record that Atiku Abubakar recently confessed about the electoral heist his party executed in the South-West in 2003 which Tinubu survived out of the six governors of the defunct Alliance for Democracy. “Atiku and PDP are now crying wolf over the Appeal Court rulings on governorship polls in Plateau, Zamfara and Nasarawa States. “We hasten to ask the former vice- president where he was in 2019 when the court ruled against the APC in Zamfara and awarded all the positions won by the APC to PDP,” he said. Onanuga wondered where Atiku was, also in 2019 when in Rivers, the court stopped APC from fielding any candidate in both the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections. He further wondered where Atiku and the PDP were in 2019 when on the eve of the swearing-in of Bayelsa Governor-elect, David Lyon, the Supreme Court handed the victory of the APC to the candidate of the PDP, Gov. Douye Diri. “Atiku and PDP then savoured all these court-handed trophies as sweet victories for PDP and celebrated the courts as protectors of democracy. “Now that the same courts are annulling PDP victories, based on the blatant violations of the law by the lawless party, the party is mudslinging the judiciary and President Tinubu. “We once again implore Atiku and PDP to stop their campaigns of calumny and blackmail against the judiciary and the honourable judges and justices.

“Judgments are based on law and evidence. In election petition cases, they are based on the Electoral Act and the Constitution, not on sentiments and emotions,” Onanuga stressed. He added that it was irresponsible and a disservice to our country for the opposition, after failing to observe the letters and spirits of the law, to now turn around to tear down an important arm of government.(NAN)

It was founded in 2005 by three former PayPal employees and later acquired by Google. The platform has become a hub for content creators to showcase their talents and engage with an audience.

One of YouTube's unique features is its recommendation algorithm that suggests new videos based on the user's watch history. This feature has been criticized for leading viewers down a rabbit hole of recommended videos, sometimes resulting in harmful or misleading content being promoted.

However, YouTube continues to be a valuable resource for learning and entertainment alike. From educational channels like Crash Course and TED-Ed to comedy skits from creators like Lilly Singh and Trevor Noah, there's something for everyone on this platform.

Moreover, it continuously evolves as more people use it every day. Many businesses have also turned to YouTube as a means of promoting their products or services through advertisements or influencer collaborations.

Yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It involves physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation to promote overall health and wellbeing.

One of the main benefits of practicing yoga is stress reduction. The deep breathing techniques used during a yoga session can help calm the mind and reduce feelings of anxiety or stress.

Another benefit of regular yoga practice is improved flexibility and strength. Yoga postures are designed to stretch and strengthen different muscles in the body, helping to improve balance, posture and overall physical health.

Yoga has also been shown to have positive effects on mental health conditions such as depression and insomnia. Regular practice may help alleviate symptoms by promoting relaxation, reducing negative thoughts patterns, improving sleep quality and increasing self-awareness.

Incorporating yoga into your daily routine can have numerous benefits for both the mind and body. Whether you're looking to reduce stress levels or increase physical strength, there's always something new to discover through this ancient practice.

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic lately, with Bitcoin leading the charge. While some people view it as a revolutionary alternative to traditional banking and investing methods, others remain skeptical about its long-term viability.

One of the main benefits of cryptocurrency is its decentralized nature - meaning that it operates without a central authority like a bank or government. This can make transactions faster and more secure, as there's no need for intermediaries to verify transactions.

However, because cryptocurrencies are not backed by any physical assets or government guarantee, they're also highly volatile and subject to sudden price fluctuations. Additionally, their lack of regulation means that they can be used for illegal activities such as money laundering or funding terrorism.

Despite these risks, many investors have still jumped on board the cryptocurrency bandwagon in search of potentially huge profits. Whether you decide to invest in digital currencies yourself is ultimately up to your personal risk tolerance and financial goals.

Fintech

Fintech, a term coined by combining finance and technology, is the new buzzword in the financial industry. It refers to digital innovation that enhances and automates traditional financial services. Fintech companies are disrupting the sector with their user-friendly interfaces, faster transactions, and lower fees.

Fintech has become popular due to its ability to streamline financial processes such as payments, lending, insurance and investment management. With fintech apps like PayPal, Venmo or Square Cash customers can transfer money easily without going through banks.

Fintech is also driving financial inclusion by providing access to banking services for underbanked people. The rise of mobile banking and online lending platforms has made it possible for people in remote areas to access loans or make payments without physically visiting a bank branch.

However, there are concerns about data security and privacy when it comes to using fintech applications. As these apps gather sensitive personal information from users during account setup process they need proper security measures put in place so that hackers won't have an easy time accessing user's confidential information.

Nonetheless Fintech has created many business opportunities especially for start-ups who want to create innovative solutions within this lucrative space of finance technology which looks promising for investors looking at ways of diversifying their portfolios into high-growth sectors with good returns on investments (ROI).

"The Senate, under my leadership, will amend the constitution to guarantee that the judgment is fully implemented, without any loopholes for manipulation," Akpabio affirmed.

Party members, represented by Eteubong Alex Umoh, Obong Kufre Akpan, and Mrs. Roseline Eyang, reaffirmed their loyalty, stating that they never left the party despite their leader’s defection.

Uzodinma, 14 other governors under scrutiny for LGA Administration breach

At least 15 governors are in breach of Section 7 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, DAILY POST findings have shown. They include Benue, Kwara, Cross River, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Kogi, Osun, Plateau, Imo, Ondo, Bayelsa, Yobe, Bauchi and Sokoto states. Section 7 of the Constitution aptly provides that “The system of local government by democratically elected local government councils is under this Constitution guaranteed; and accordingly, the government of every state shall, subject to Section 8 of this Constitution, ensure their existence under a Law which provides for the establishment, structure, composition, finance and functions of such councils.” DAILY POST findings show that at the moment, no fewer than 14 governors obtained approvals from their respective state Houses of Assembly and constituted caretaker committees in place of elected chairmen. Late last year, the Senate asked the Federal Government to block statutory allocations to any local government council not democratically elected. The Red Chamber unanimously resolved that this move would deter the dictatorial tendencies of state governors. The resolution was sequel to a motion moved by Sen. Abba Moro on the urgent need to halt the erosion of democracy vis-a-vis the dissolution of elected councils in Benue State. The lawmakers argued that the placement of Caretaker Committees to replace Elected Councils is an aberration, undemocratic and a breach of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Senator Victor Umeh (representing Anambra Senatorial district), who seconded the motion, lamented that the issue has continued to undermine the local government system in Nigeria. Consequently, the Senate condemned the arbitrary dissolution of democratically elected local government councils in Benue and other federation states. To save the face of Nigeria’s democracy, the Senate urged Alia to adhere to his oath of office, obey the rule of law, review the constitution of caretaker committees, and reinstate the elected councils. But Alia is not alone on this. Many of his colleagues are involved in the said unlawful act. Many concerned Nigerians are worried that despite the clear provision of the constitution and even court judgements, the governors have continued to observe that section in breach. Several court pronouncements have held that the use of caretaker committees was in conflict with section 7(1) of the 1999 constitution. However, even some of the governors who used the conduct of local government elections as part of their campaign promises, reneged once they got elected into office. This is not the first time efforts have been made to preserve the constitutional roles of the local government councils. It could be recalled that former president Muhammadu Buhari had at a time signed an executive bill mandating the direct payment of statutory allocation to the state judiciary, legislature and the local government councils. Till date, many state governors are hellbent on running the council areas with caretaker committees. Evidence of corporate malfeasance is said to abound in the handling of LG funds by many governors, with the local government chairmen always crying in silence for fear of victimization. The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, does not agree less. Like many other Nigerians, it is worried over the level of financial sleaze being perpetrated with the local government system. In a Freedom of Information, FOI, request signed by SERAP’s deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation is urging the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate the actual disbursement and spending of federal allocations meant for local governments in the states and the FCT since May 1999. SERAP also agreed that the governors pocket a larger chunk of the money allocated to the LGAs on a monthly basis. It expressed sadness that “allegations of corruption and mismanagement of federal allocations meant for local governments have contributed to widespread poverty, underdevelopment and lack of access to public goods and services in several states. “According to our information, the 36 states in Nigeria and the federal capital territory, Abuja, have collected over N40 trillion federal allocations meant for the 774 local governments areas in the country and FCT. “SERAP notes that former president Muhammadu Buhari recently alleged that state governors routinely pocket or divert federal allocations meant for local governments areas in their states. “According to Buhari, ‘If the money from the Federation Account to the State is about N100 million, N50 million will be sent to the chairman but he will sign that he received N100 million. The chairman will pocket the balance and share it with whoever he wants to share it with.’” However, many Nigerians, including the Senate, feel the time has come for the federal government to take decisive action against the recalcitrant governors. Some observers say the Houses of Assembly deserve more knocks as they aid and abet the illegality instead of chastising the governors. Professor Frank Asogwa of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, ESUT, has strong words for the governors. The professor of law described the action of the state chief executives as an affront to the constitution, stressing that it stifles democracy. “It is not just unconstitutional but illegal in the sense that the Supreme Court has made a pronouncement on that issue and declared caretaker committees of local government areas illegal,” he told DAILY POST in an interview. Asogwa added that, “If you do not have a democratically elected local government system, then you are in breach of Section 7, which says that a democratically elected system of local government must at all times be maintained. “You cannot have democracy at the federal level, democracy at the state level and fail to also have democracy at the third tier of government, even though as an academic I don’t believe there is a third tier of government. “There are just two tiers- federal and state governments, because the other one is an appendage of state, that is why the constitution said a democratically elected local government system must be assured by who- by the state government. “That’s why the state governor appoints the chairman of the state electoral commission and this chairman in consultation with the governor, who is the chief executive, determines when, how and if local government elections will be held. “So, it is not right actually because it stifles democracy at that level. “Elections at the federal and state levels do not depend on the whims and caprices of who is the head of state, the president of Nigeria or who is the governor. “There is an independent umpire we know as INEC that organises elections for both federal and state. So, why is SIECs not that independent to say after two years, depending on the state, we are going to conduct an election in the local government?” The university don, who served as commissioner for local government during the administration of ex-governor Sullivan Chime in Enugu State, equally blamed the sad development on governors’ desire to divert funds meant for the local governments. He said, “The other reason which is not always spelt out is that the governors who don’t hold elections find it convenient to divert local government funds. “There has been so much talk about the autonomy of the local government, not just in terms of exercise of power, but autonomy in terms of budgetary provisions and allocations coming straight from the FAAC. “But some governors opposed it; they don’t want it, because it is convenient for them that the money comes into a central purse and then they decide what goes to the local governments; for some, they allow the funds go to the local governments and determine how much they pay back to the state coffers and they call it joint account or whatever, which is unconstitutional. “The constitutional thing is what I did when I was commissioner for local government in Enugu State. The law established the State Economic Planning Commission. “All the local government chairmen are supposed to be members because the law is there; I was there as a member of that commission by virtue of my portfolio as local government commissioner; we had the commissioner for finance, the commissioner for works, we had commissioner for planning Enugu State and other commissioners who were relevant to the development of the local government system. “At that level, we took decisions on projects affecting local governments; that was how the Nike-Ugwuogo-Opi-Ikem Road was built, because Nsukka, Isi-Uzo and Enugu East Local Government contributed 10 per cent of the fund for the building of that road and the state government contributed 70 per cent. “I did a memo to the state executive council that time suggesting this ratio and it was approved. “If any governor is sincere about local government funds, he should go through the Economic Planning Commission, where the local government chairmen are also members and introduce projects. “So many governors are reluctant to remove their grip on the local government system in spite of what the constitution says. “In different fora, I have asked this question to state representatives- how would you feel if the federal government strangles the state governments the way they are doing the local system? And they have no answer.” He, however, said the Senate motion was not enough to end the illegal activities of the governors. According to him, “the Senate should back it up with a law; the local government system is a creation of law so you cannot by resolution dictate what should happen to them. It will be illegal also to do so; two wrongs cannot make a right. “If the National Assembly feels very strongly about what the governors are doing, let somebody propose a bill which should be passed at both the Senate and the House of Representatives. “It’s just like local government autonomy, let them have a strong law backing it up. When that happens, a local government can challenge a governor if he does anyhow, but they cannot do it now for fear of being removed. “In my conclusion, I repeat that the practice of not holding local government elections is unconstitutional, it is illegal and an affront to democracy in this country.” Also Airing his views, a former member of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Chinedu Nwamba told DAILY POST that it was wrong for governors to remove elected chairmen and councillors merely because they are not from the same political party. He equally said the conduct of local government elections was mandatory except in special circumstances. While using Enugu as a case study, Nwamba said, “there is a court order, for other states, I don’t know what the problem is. “But in Enugu, from the time of Sullivan Chime, there has always been elected local government chairmen, it only happened in a few cases during the Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi administration when there was a little break and they had caretaker for a few months and after that, election was conducted. “I’m sure the incumbent governor will also conduct local government elections. “Coming to other states, I don’t know the reasons given to the Houses of Assembly to expressly approve caretaker committees; their own case might be different from that of Enugu. “Another school of thought says the governors may want to be in control of the funds of the local governments and that is why they are using caretaker, because once there are elected chairmen and councillors, the councillors now approve the budget of the local government. “The constitution said the state government through the House of Assembly should supervise the local governments but that should not amount to non-conduct of elections; they also have a joint account, which is JAAC; apart from that, I will say that the local government should fully be on their own, that is where the lacuna is.” He also said the dissolution of elected chairmen by new governors was equally illegal. “It is totally unconstitutional and the Houses of Assembly should not approve of it; if an elected local government chairman is in office and a governor comes in, maybe they are not from the same political party, and the governor dissolves them, it is not right. “There are reasons for an elected chairman to be removed and there are procedures and measures. It is either through impeachment, resignation by himself or he got another appointment. “So, it is not constitutional to remove an elected chairman or councillor just because the person is not in the same political party with the governor.” On his part, a rights activist, Barr Olu Omotayo accused the various state Houses of Assembly of promoting illegality. Omotayo, the President of the Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network, CRRAN, said the state lawmakers err in law when they approve caretaker committees for governors despite the clear provisions of the constitution and the Supreme Court judgements. The lawyer was concerned that the state lawmakers who should sanction the governors for breaching Section 7 of the Constitution were the same ones approving the illegal caretaker committees. He advocated for citizens’ awareness and action. According to him, “some of these things, the citizens have concentrated so much attention on the federal unlike in advanced countries, where people focus more on the grassroots “So, the mentality over the years, we used to focus on the federal government without asking questions, forgetting that development only comes from the grassroots. “Democracy was brought, this federalism was brought so that from the grassroots it goes up, but we are turning it upside down, we believe it is from up to down. “And the American model we are using, it is from down you go up; many people in America don’t even know who is their president but they know their councillor; if they have any complaint, they go to their councillor. “Until we change that mentality and start asking questions, local governments will not function. “It is a constitutional provision; postponing elections when there is a constitutional provision that there must be local government is a grave infraction on the constitution. “Only that the citizens have not been living up to expectations in this democracy; the constitutional provision is mandatory, the democratically elected local governments must be there. “When you postpone elections, who will be operating? The Supreme Court has ruled that caretaker committees they are appointing are unknown to law. “You cannot continue illegality in a democracy and think that things will work well.” On the role of the state lawmakers, Omotayo said, “whatever they are doing is illegal because if the constitution says there must be elected local government, if they make a law or approvals contradictory to the constitution, the position of the law is that the constitution must prevail. “Whatever law they make is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency with the constitution. So, whatever they are making is unlawful and unconstitutional.” Reinforcing this stand, the President of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, Ambali Akeem Olatunji, identified corruption as the primary impediment to the realisation of local government autonomy in the country. Olatunji, who spoke during his visit to Taraba State attributed the resistance to change to those benefiting from corruption. He emphasised that the persistent challenges in local government administration stem from certain political actors in states who engage in the pilfering, diversion, and theft of local government allocations. He also identified a flaw in the 1999 Constitution, which he said placed the local government areas under the state Houses of Assembly. He accused state legislatures of being coerced by various state governments to enact illegal laws. Highlighting the constitutional guarantee of democratically elected leaders, Olatunji denounced the appointment of caretakers. He said, “NULGE is now advocating for federal intervention in states that refuse to conduct local government elections. “We are proposing the seizure of local government allocations by the federal government.” He said salaries should be directly deposited into workers’ accounts using the National Identification Number, NIN. DAILY POST reports that some of the states running the local government councils with elected chairmen include- Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta, Kaduna, Adamawa, Niger, Nasarawa, Lagos, Ogun, Yobe, Kebbi, Jigawa, Katsina, Kano, Rivers, Oyo, Edo, Delta, Borno and Ekiti. Below are some of the governors who seem unwilling to conduct council polls: ANAMBRA Anambra is one of the worst states in terms of non-conduct of local government elections. No wonder the people of the state were delighted when the incumbent governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, while campaigning for the position in 2021, promised a speedy conduct of elections at the grassroots. The last local government election in the state was held during the twilight of the Peter Obi administration in January 2014. Many had blamed him for remembering to do so only when his administration was winding up, but at least he did. For eight years, former governor, Chief Willie Obiano failed to conduct the election, heightening the quest for it. During the last governorship election in the state, it was obvious that only one who supported the conduct of the election may get the people’s votes. Prof Soludo cashed in on that. He promised that if elected, the local government election would be one of his priorities. On March 17, Soludo will be two years in office. There has been constant prodding by opposition parties for the governor to hold election, but many believe that there is nothing on ground to show that Soludo is ready for it. While there is no constituted electoral body, the lawmaker representing Awka South 1 constituency in the House of Assembly, Henry Mbachu, during the presentation of the 2024 budget, lamented the absence of budgetary allocation for the conduct of LG polls. He said: “Going through the budget estimate presented, it is glaring that there are no intentions of conducting LGA elections next year (2024). “On page 475, the budget for the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission for this current year was N89,120,000, while the projected estimate for the incoming year is N129,120,000. “You find out that there’s no feasibility or readiness for local government elections for the incoming year. I worry so much because this tier of government has suffered so much because of a lack of local government elections.” Meanwhile, a human rights activist, Mr Kenechukwu Kodili, who spoke to DAILY POST, lamented that Soludo was already disappointing the people by reneging on the conduct of local government elections in the state. He said: “For close to two years of being the governor, all he (Soludo) does is renew the tenure of the caretaker local government chairmen every three months. “That was not what he promised the people. He was himself elected into the governorship seat, he should also conduct elections to elect local government chairmen, not to keep renewing the appointment of those he appointed.” KWARA For the past four years, the Kwara State government has administered local government areas with caretaker committees. It could be recalled that the democratically-elected council chairmen were sacked in 2019 by the All Progressives Congress-led government, triggering a legal dispute that terminated at the Supreme Court.

By • Olalekan Fagbade JUST IN; Showdown Imminent as NBA rejects Governor’s Acting Chief Judge The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has kicked against the suspension of the Chief Judge of Osun State, Justice Oyebola Ojo by Governor Ademola Adeleke. The Nation recalled that the Osun State House of Assembly on Thursday recommended suspension of the CJ after which Adeleke approved the recommendation and directed that Justice Yinka Afolabi be sworn in to acting capacity. However, the NBA through its National Secretary, Publicity Secretary, Akorede Lawal in a statement, yesterday morning, said it would not recognize anyone as Acting CJ. The association described the action of the state government as illegal, breach of rule of law and assault against the judiciary coming from a democratically elected governor. He noted that “The action of the State Government is an abuse of the rule of law and a desecration of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). The statement reads: “In very vivid terms, the actions of Governor Adeleke and the Osun State House of Assembly are unwarranted assault on the Judiciary and aimed at intimidation. “The NBA wishes to categorically state that the provisions of the 1999 Constitution are not ambiguous as to the way and manner a Chief Judge of a State could be removed from office. Certainly, a State House of Assembly resolution for a Chief Judge to “step aside” is unknown to the law of our land. “Furthermore, the law has since been settled in Nganjiwa v FRN (2017) LPELR-43391 (CA) that any misconduct attached to the office and functions of a judicial officer must first be reported to and determined by the National Judicial Council (NJC). “Specifically, the Supreme Court in Elelu-Habeeb & Anor v AG Federation & Ors (2012) 12 NWLR (Pt 1318) 423 has clearly stated that the Chief Judge of a State cannot be removed under any guise including the infamous “step aside style” by the Osun State Government without recourse to the NJC. “The NBA is further worried and troubled that in going about its unlawful endeavour, the Osun State Government chose to ignore the lawful order of interim injunction granted by the National Industrial Court sitting in Ibadan, which restrained the Governor of Osun State from interfering with the office of the Chief Judge of Osun State. “This is untoward, coming from a democratically elected state government. All decisions of court must be obeyed and complied with until they are set aside by a superior court of competent jurisdiction. The NBA’s position is anchored on the constitutional doctrine of separation of power and the independence of the judiciary. “The tenure of a judicial officer cannot and should not be subject to the mood of politicians. To this extent, the NBA and its members shall not recognise Hon. Justice Olayinka Afolabi as the Acting Chief Judge of Osun State, because the provisions of the law must be complied with strictly, in the removal of, and/or appointment of the Chief Judge of Osun State. “The NBA shall take all necessary steps to ensure this impunity and brazen abuse of office does not stand!” He ended. Adeleke presents N273b 2024 budget to assembly However, the state government on Friday denied the claims that Justice Ojo was suspended by Governor Adeleke. The Nation also gathered that Adeleke had earlier directed his deputy, Kola Adewusi, to swear in Justice Yinka Afolabi in acting capacity at the Exco’s Lounge, Governor’s office by 10 am yesterday. Findings by The Nation revealed that the swearing in ceremony ordered by Adeleke could not hold due to procedural hiccups encountered by the executive arm. The Commissioner of Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, confirmed Friday that the swearing in ceremony for the acting CJ could not be held. He said the state government was waiting for the decision of the National Judicial Council (NJC) after the body was notified of the suspension of the CJ. Alimi said: “The deputy governor just returned from Abuja this evening.

He was directed to inform the NJC of the resolution of the Assembly on the development. A letter has been sent to NJC, we are waiting for the directive of NJC before further action. “The swearing-in could not hold. There is a vacuum in the third arm of government because the woman has been asked to step aside. But notwithstanding the vacuum, the NJC has been notified. If there is any vacuum, it is because of NJC.” Reacting to the development, the coalition of civil society groups in Osun State under the aegis of The Osun Masterminds, through its Executive Director, Prof. Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, kicked against the removal of CJ, warning that Justice Yinka Afolabi must not avail himself for swearing in to denigrate the judicial institution. We’ll see in court if illegality is not reversed–SERAP Reacting, the Socio – Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has threatened to sue the Osun State governor if the suspension is not reversed. SERAP in a post on its official “X” handle, @SERAPNigeria, said: “Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke must immediately reverse his apparently unlawful removal of Adepele Ojo as the Chief Judge of Osun State. This vicious cycle of authoritarian attacks on the rule of law must stop. We’ll see in court if this illegality is not reversed.“
