A Non-governmental organization in Osun state, The Peace Ambassadors had to summon the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwodola, to protect the Judiciary in Osun state.

In a statement issued by the group Coordinator and Secretary, Alhaji Agbaje Ojo and Mrs Janet Arowosola respectively affirmed that the abuse of Executive orders flying around in the state needs proper scrutiny.

The statement in part read “As a stakeholder in Osun state, we note with displeasure some of the steps taken so far by Governor Ademola Adeleke and we believe that some cautions need to be taken.

“For instance, matters of the three towns where he exercised executive order recently are before the courts and it’s a contempt to dabble into such because an executive order cannot cover an existing legal tussle.

“Setting up a panel of enquiry by the governor on such matters is nothing but an abuse of the court process.

“Since some parties in those towns have approached court before the ‘installations’ and the court's ruling has pronounced the status quo to remain, the government has no business in such.

“Rather one would have expected the state governor to provide adequate security of lives and property in those areas, not taking steps that will make it look like it is giving some people undue favour.

“As it is, before things get out of hand, we are calling on the CJN to rise to the occasion, and the Judiciary must not be dragged into Osun politics.”
