Osun Govt Not Aware Of Plot Against CJ – Information Commissioner
Osun state government has declared that it was unaware of any plot against the state Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Adepele Ojo even as it affirms its commitment to due process and stipulated regulations across the arms of government.
The state government through the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Hon. Kolapo Alimi spoke in reaction to alleged plan by Governor Ademola Adeleke to remove the Chief Judge.
Osun Civil Society groups under the aegis of Coalition of Civil Society organisations had earlier at a press conference in Osogbo yesterday
described the move as illegal amounting to interference of judiciary by the Executive arms of the government.
Similarly, the groups condemned the appointment of Hashim Abloye, as the Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC), saying it was disgusting to appoint a Card-carrying member of PDP to occupy such an independent office.
But Alimi said, Governor Adeleke
and his team are preoccupied with delivering on good governance to the citizenry with no time for diversionary conducts.
“We have stated it persistently that those holding social media briefs for the Chief Judge are not doing the Judiciary any good. The sponsored civil society groups that failed to acknowledge the good that the Adeleke-led Administration is doing for the Judiciary are those running sponsored lies against the present administration in Osun.
“It is from the above premise that the state government was taken aback by the allegations from the coalition of civil society groups. We urge the public to take note that the Governor will not be involved in anything against the law, due process and constitution of the Republic of Nigeria” Alimi stated
