We will, therefore, rely on the judiciary to ensure a peaceful removal of those illegally occupying the local government secretariats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are equally aware of the legal controversies that dogged the holding of the election. It is, however, a thing of joy that the facts are out in the public domain, and we are satisfied that we are on the side of the law within the context of the rule of law and the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease be patient and always abide by the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While commending President Bola Tinubu for refusing to follow the path that could plunge the state into chaos, he urged the newly elected council chairmen to deliver the dividends of democracy in line with the PDP manifesto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI congratulate all newly elected council chairmen and councillors. You have the mandate to deliver good governance in your respective local governments. I charge you to develop plans of action within the manifesto of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As our government is transforming the state for the better, I call on you to be agents of change, community developers and deliverers of democracy\u2019s dividends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI should not end this address without acknowledging the contributions of Mr President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am most grateful to Mr President for rejecting efforts by some forces to plunge Osun into chaos. I assure Mr President of our commitment to the rule of law and the constitution for conflict resolution and governance process\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Ademola Adeleke has called on the newly inaugurated local government council chairmen to stay away from the secretariats to avoid a clash with APC members.
