The Action Peoples Party (APP) has reaffirmed that the court ruling nullifying the 2022 Osun local government election remains in effect, stating that the Court of Appeal’s recent judgment does not affect it.

Odesola Oluseye Titus, the state chairman of APP, made this clarification while addressing the public on Monday. “The judgment delivered in the case filed by APP against APC and OSSIEC on 30th November 2022 remains unchanged and effective,” he stated.

He dismissed speculations suggesting that previously elected officials would return to office. “There is no court order reinstating any Yes or No election candidates,” Titus declared.

The APP chairman also stressed that the upcoming local government election, scheduled for 22nd February 2025, would proceed as planned. “Today’s judgment has no impact on the forthcoming election. It remains a vital part of our democratic process,” he said.
