Hon. Oluwole Oke's Perspective on the Osun Local Council Polls: Court Judgements and the Stalemate
In a recent interview with TVC, Hon. Oluwole Oke, a respected federal lawmaker and influential figure in Osun politics, offered a candid perspective on the lingering controversy over the state’s local government elections. His remarks shed light on the legal and political gridlock currently paralyzing grassroots governance in the state.
According to Hon. Oke, the ongoing stalemate is a direct consequence of conflicting court judgments that have cast a shadow over the legitimacy of the last local council polls. While acknowledging the emotional and political weight of the issue, he emphasized the importance of constitutional order and judicial authority.
“Whether we agree with the judgments or not, the courts are the final arbiters in our democracy. We must respect them, not selectively but wholly,” Oke asserted.
He further called on all political stakeholders in Osun to avoid actions that could deepen division or ignite unrest, stressing that the focus should be on rebuilding trust in the system and ensuring that the will of the people is upheld through due process.
“Let us be guided by the rule of law and our commitment to grassroots development. The local councils are too important to become pawns in political chess games,” he warned.
As Osun continues to navigate the legal terrain and await further clarity, Hon. Oke's voice adds a rational call for calm, unity, and constitutional fidelity, reminding all sides that justice must not only be done but be seen to be done.
