Exposed: Oyetola Administration Plots to Divert N2.7b LG Sure-P Allocation

• Threatens LG Heads of Administration/ Directors of Finance for Cooperation

• PDP to LG Directors: EFCC will Nab You if...


We bring to the attention of anti-corruption agencies, traditional rulers and transparency organisations the ongoing pillaging of Osun assets and fund, the latest being the ongoing desperate push by the Oyetola Administration to divert the N2.7 billion latest Sure-P allocation to local governments in Osun state.

We are at pain to report that for the past three days top officials of the outgoing administration have launched the most brazen assault on local government treasury demanding each local governments return their share of the Sure-P allocation under very corruptive circumstances.

The public may want to know that the local government with the least allocation is about N76 million naira with average of N80 million naira for most local governments. Records available to us revealed that local officials initially resisted the request but were warned of dire consequences of disobeying the order from the state's ministry of Local Government.

We gathered that due to sustained resistance, each local government was then directed to return N25 million naira each and cover it up with fictitious expenditure, a directive many top local officials are afraid to comply.

Reports showed that Heads of local government administration and Directors of Finance were then summoned to Osogbo on Monday with direct warning to cooperate or risk being removed from office. We gathered this pressure is still ongoing as at the time of filling this report.


We strongly alert Heads of Local Administration and Directors of Finance that we are closely monitoring the situation and we are determined to ensure that any official who collaborated to divert the Sure-P fund and other local government fund is handed over to the EFCC.

Any local government director who partake in fund diversion will not only face career disruption but will be diligently prosecuted by the relevant government agencies.

If you succumb to illegal pressure, we will set anti-corruption agencies after you.

We appeal to our traditional rulers to take active interest in this unfolding drama. Our royal fathers should interrogate the planned pillaging and intervene to stop the looting of our common patrimony.

We once again reassure the general public that from November 27 of this month , all appointed and elected officials will account for the state assets and resources in their care. The incoming administration of Senator Ademola Adeleke will demand and ensure accountability from those who diverted state assets in the last few months.

Osun PDP Directs Adagunodo to Withdraw Court Case, Threatens to Report Judge to NJC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state has directed its former state chairman, Hon Soji Adagunodo to immediately withdraw the belated court case on Osun PDP chairmanship tussle, warning that the case has been hijacked by the All Progressive Congress(APC).

In a strongly worded statement, the party also alerted the public of surreptitious agenda by Mr Gboyega Oyetola to influence the judiciary on the matter in a bid to truncate the swearing in of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the Governor of Osun State on November 27th, 2022.

The PDP which threatened all constitutional steps to actualise November 27 handover date warned of its readiness to petition the National Judicial Council on the apparent unprofessional conduct of the presiding judge, especially in the last sitting on the case.

In the statement signed by the State Caretaker Chairman of the party, Dr Adekunle Akindele, the PDP posited that Hon Adagunodo has been cleared by the National Executive Committee of the PDP on some allegations during his party chairmanship and should therefore withdraw the case without further delay.

The party had gathered on good authority that Hon Adagunodo claimed he was not issued an official letter of clearance by the party's NEC, hence his continuation of the court processes.

The statement however noted that the NEC clearance was the reason Adagunodo was able to contest and emerge as the South West National Vice Chairmanship of the PDP, adding that there is no further political or legal basis for non-withdrawal of the suit.

While justifying calls for the withdrawal of the suit, the PDP called the attention of the Vice Chairman South West to fact that the case has emerged as the main tool of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to attempt disruption of November 27th, 2022 swearing in ceremony.

To avoid becoming part of the plot to scuttle the will of Osun people and to prove that he is indeed not available for the APC reactionary agenda, Hon Adagunodo should urgently kick-start the process of case withdrawal, the statement posited.

The party further warned that failure to close the case will confirm allegations and alleged grand coalition among the APC, Hon Adagunodo and a section of the judiciary to throw Osun into a constitutional crisis, a development the party vowed to legally resist.

The statement hinted that it has set machinery in motion to petition the NJC over the conduct of the presiding judge as his conduct at the last sitting echoed the boast on social media by Mr Oyetola's supporters that November 27th, 2022 will not hold.

"We are compiling all the observed unprofessional activities on this particular matter and we will duly approach the NJC. We want to strongly advice the state judicial leadership to be sensitive to the conduct of some of its officials. The judiciary should not allow itself to be used against the will of Osun people", the statement concluded.
