Don’t Think of Sacking Justice Oloyede: PDP Warns Aregbesola.

Gov. Rauf Aregbesola

Osun State PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Bola Ajao, gave this warning in a statement made available in Osogbo on Monday.

The opposition party, PDP, made this statement on Monday while accusing Governor Aregbesola of initiating the sacking of Justice Oloyede through his All Progressives Congress (APC) party, by accusing Justice Oloyede of conniving with the PDP to destroy Aregbesola’s administration, and thereby asking her to quit her office.

 The PDP has warned that such move could trigger commotion and unrest in the state as the people of the state are already sitting on a time bomb, while warning the governor to drop that plan.

The statement reads, “This is an invitation to chaos because Governor Aregbesola cannot turn himself into a bully that can’t be questioned or examined. He should not hunt the petitioner down if he has nothing to fear. At least, he says he is a progressive governor who should be above board.

“All men and women of goodwill all over the world should applaud Justice Oloyede. She doesn’t deserve recrimination for speaking out what is evident to everyone except Aregbesola and his praise-singers who will destroy this fading administration and the clueless governor”.

“It is gratifying that the entire public service in the state is solidly behind her. We implore the governor not to use his hands to set the state on fire. Moving against Justice Oloyede, the face of probity, accountability, justice, fairness and uprightness in public service, will spell doom for this failed administration”.

“The opposition party called on Nigerians to “talk Aregbesola out of this suicide mission” and one out to defend the allegation of corruption leveled against him by the judge”.

“PDP had discovered an alleged plan with some members of the House of Assembly to summon the judge with the aim of ridiculing her with embarrassing questions”.

“After the planned embarrassing appearance at the Assembly, a certain lawyer who Aregbesola’s administration has hired for the hatchet job will now write a petition to the leadership of the Osun State Judiciary, asking it to declare Oloyede unfit for the Bench for being mentally-unstable”.

“The judiciary will in turn write the National Judiciary Council which is expected to remove her as a judge since the Constitution says anyone that is of unsound mind can’t be a judge or remain on the Bench” He concluded 

Justice Oloyede is a serving judge in the Osun State civil service who petitioned the Presidency and EFCC some days ago about money laundering and mis-management of Governor Rauf Aregbesola which has resulted in the governor not been able to pay the state civil servants their salaries for 8 months now.
