The Osun State Government has said electorates would punish those weaponising the Local Government issue in the state.
The state government, in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, said no court ordered the reinstatement of the All Progressives Congress Yes or No council administrators.
The statement accused the APC of attempting to smuggle power through the back door after losing it through lawful means.
The statement said, “Those who now cite court judgments while encouraging actions that starve Local Governments of funds should know this; they cannot claim to love the rule of law while actively strangling the grassroots, and suffocating the livelihood of Osun citizens.
“Anyone blocking these funds is openly declaring war on the Osun grassroots populace, and history shows that such cruelty is never forgiven by voters. Notably, for Osun citizens, forgiveness of manufactured hardship is a sin.
“Let it be on record that any attempt to frustrate Osun Local Governments, cripple grassroots development, or punish innocent citizens in the name of politics is noted by the people. The Osun electorate is watching, recording, and will respond decisively,” the statement noted.
