The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, the State of Osun, has adjourned the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to stop the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) from conducting local government elections to September 29.

According to Barr.

All we are telling this honourable court is to stay of proceedings to allow the higher court to hear our case.”
