Osun State Election: APC Wants Court To Restrain President From Deploying Soldiers To The State

Some members of the All Progressives Congress party, APC, in Osun State have approached a Federal High Court for an injunction restraining President Jonathan from deploying military personnel to the state during the forthcoming gubernatorial election which will take place on the 9th of August, 2014.

It has been a tug of war as the All Progressives Congress party candidate, Rauf Aregbesola ( the present Governor) has vowed that PDP will not unseat him in the state. But the candidate representing PDP in the state, Iyiola Omisore says it’s time for a change, with the president also backing his statement.


It will be recalled that the Federal Government at the just concluded governorship election in Ekiti State, deployed thousands of officers comprising the Nigerian military, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, State Security Service, and police officers to the state.
