A worker of the LG from Iwo, Ade Lateef, said: “With the verdict of Supreme Court, I doubt salary payment of July, I urge Governor Adeleke to recall the sacked elected executive for smooth running of the council.
Also, one Mrs Adebisi said: “The governor should be diplomatic with the situation at hand. He should play mature politics by recalling the sacked elected officers, at least they have one more year to expiration of their tenure.”
Also, the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC), Osun state through its chairman, Tajudeen Lawal said the ruling on LG autonomy favours executives elected under the administration of Adegboyega Oyetola.
He said: “All the appointed caretaker chairmen by Governor Ademola Adeleke have become a bunch of illegality in the eyes of the law of the land.“
