BREAKING: FG Asks Governor Adeleke to Suspend LG Election, Gives Reason

The Federal Government has told Osun state governor Ademola Adeleke to suspend the Saturday, February 22 local government election in the state.

Lateef Fagbemi, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AFG), made the call while reacting to the ongoing political crisis in the state.

According to Daily Trust, Fagbemi in a statement on Thursday, February 20, stated that the position of the law was cleared on the issue leading to the crisis between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Recall that on Monday, February 17, some people, including one of the reinstated council chairmen, were killed, while many others sustained a series of injuries during a clash between the PDP and APC members over the control of the local government secretariats.
