Osun State's All Progressives Congress has called upon the National Union of Local Government Employees to reconsider its ongoing work stoppage. The political party expressed concern that rural communities continue to suffer from the effects of the labor dispute. Violence between political supporters prompted union officials to advise workers against returning to local government offices. The February Akure Appeal Court ruling sparked disagreements that led to deadly confrontations between party factions.
The reinstated APC council chairmen filed legal documents seeking tenure extensions at the Federal High Court on September 12. Party officials criticized union leadership for allegedly favoring the People's Democratic Party over worker interests. The organization accused Governor Ademola Adeleke's administration of providing special treatment to union executives while ordinary members face financial hardship.
APC representatives questioned the governor's decision to organize new local government elections while existing chairmen retain their positions. The party warned that union expectations about October tenure expiration appear misguided since the matter awaits Court of Appeal determination.
