THE Osun State President of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Dr. Nathaniel Ogungbangbe, has strongly condemned the recent takeover of Local Government Secretariats by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the action as illegal and a threat to democracy.
In a statement issued in Osogbo on Tuesday, Dr. Ogungbangbe criticized the forceful occupation of the Secretariats by APC members, calling it a breach of due process and an attempt to destabilize Local governance in the state.
He stressed that such actions could lead to chaos and disrupt essential services at the grassroots level.

“It should be noted that Action Peoples Party, (APP) had received a judgement in a suit filed against the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), which was delivered on November 30th, 2022 at the Federal High Court, Osogbo, that nullified the October 2022 LG election, the seats of Chairmen and Councillors across Osun State are deemed vacant.”
“The invasion of Local Government Secretariats by APC members is not only unlawful but also a dangerous precedent that undermines the rule of law. The proper channel for reinstating the sacked Local Government Chairmen from the October 2022 election is through the courts, not through forceful occupation,” Ogungbangbe stated.
“Anyone calling themselves elected Chairmen or Councillors in Osun State today is an impostor and looters. They are the enemy of democratic government.”
