Naija News learnt that the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress has criticized the Governor of the State over the composition people in the OYSIEC member describing the action of the governor as pure “impunity“.

Oke, who expressed disappointment over the development said, “We knew that this governor will not have regards or respect for the Rule of Law.

“Our party has taken the governor to court over the sack or dissolution of a body that was legally constituted, it may, however, interest you to know that the members are also in court to challenge their dissolution.

“My advice for him is that he should endeavour to follow the rule of law in ruling the state.”

Reacting, the spokesperson of PDP in Oyo State, Mr Akeem Olatunji, described the outcry of APC, as “baseless and unfounded”.
