Osun LG tenure extension appeal fixed for December 1
By Waliu Adetokun, Osogbo
The Court of Appeal has fixed December 1, 2026, for further hearing of the appeal concerning the tenure extension of local government officials in Osun State.
The Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, disclosed this in a statement posted on his Facebook page, clarifying reports surrounding the latest proceedings in the state’s protracted local government crisis.
According to Alimi, “Osun LG Council’s case, court adjourned the hearing of all pending applications to December 1st 2026.”
He explained that the December 1 date relates to the appeal filed by the APC YES or NO local government officials and other pending applications concerning the local government dispute.
The commissioner further clarified that January 20, 2027, was fixed for a separate appeal filed by APC counsel, Galadima, challenging the N1 million cost imposed on him by the Federal High Court.
He stressed that the two appeals are separate matters and should not be confused.
While the appeal concerning the tenure extension of the local government officials will come up on December 1, Galadima’s appeal against the N1 million cost awarded against him is scheduled for January 20, 2027.
The clarification is expected to address the confusion surrounding the two different dates fixed by the appellate court.
