Osun APC LG Chairmen Return, Issue Workers 72-Hour Resumption Deadline by Politicstoday(op): 2:39pm On Feb 24, 2025
Chairmen elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in the 15 October 2022 Osun Local Government election returned to their council secretariats on Monday amidst tight security.

Our correspondent, who visited the Ifelodun Local Government headquarters in Ikirun, the Olorunda Local Government Area in Igbona, and the Osogbo Local Government Area secretariat in Oke-Baale, observed that council officials had resumed their duties.

A heavy security presence was also noted across major roads in the state, with armed police operatives and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officers mounting roadblocks at the entrances to the secretariats.

Security checkpoints were observed along the Osogbo/Kwara boundary road, Osogbo/Ilesa road, and Osogbo/Ibokun road. However, business activities continued uninterrupted across the state capital.

Reviewing the situation in an interview with PUNCH Online, Jamiu Olawumi, a former Special Adviser on Education to ex-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, stated that the chairmen and councillors had resumed work in all 30 local government areas.

Olawumi added that the chairmen had issued directives for local government staff to return to work by Wednesday.

“All chairmen and councillors have resumed in all local governments and area councils in Osun State, including Irewole Local Government.

“The local governments and local council development areas are active and vibrant.

“Security is very tight, with responsible police officers, DSS, and Civil Defence personnel carrying out their duties as instructed by the Inspector General of Police.

“Most of the chairmen have issued press releases this morning instructing their workers to resume by Wednesday at the latest. After Wednesday, if they fail to return, their employment status will be determined. The ultimatum stands at 72 hours,” he said.

Governor Ademola Adeleke, during a swearing-in ceremony on Sunday, had directed chairmen and councillors elected in the Saturday local government elections not to resume at their council offices yet.

Before the election, the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress had also instructed workers in all LGAs to stay home due to the ongoing dispute between Adeleke and the APC in the state.

Meanwhile, our correspondent reached out to the state APC chairman, Kola Olabisi, who promised to respond as soon as possible.

Good directives from Osun State Apc here. Osun NLC is playing politics too. Why are they shunning their various offices. We will all see in the end. Everything is now peaceful.

PRESS STATEMENT.
(24TH FEBRUARY, 2025).

Adeleke's Directive To Illegal Council Chairmen To Avoid LG Secretariats Is Deceitful

- Osun APC

... Urges Citizens To Be Vigilant As Governor, PDP Have Concluded Plans To Stoke Crises

The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has described as deceitful the directive that illegal council chairmen and councillors should stay away from the council secretariats, saying Governor Ademola Adeleke has concluded plans to attack the legally-reinstated chairmen and councillors through Amotekun Corps and non-state actors imported from Oyo State and the Niger Delta.

The party, in a statement issued on Monday, said intelligence information available at its disposal indicated that the governor's political dynasty currently headed by the business mogul, Dr Deji Adeleke, were displeased with the national embarrassment and media backlash experienced on account of the charade election conducted by the government.

According to the APC, the directive to stay away from the local government secretariats is a mere smokescreen as the governor and his party are hell-bent to foment trouble and blame it on the legally-recognized and reinstated chairmen who are resolute to return to work in their various secretariats on Monday.

The APC's discoveries also fingered the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governor's Forum, Senator Bala Muhammed and Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde as part of the plots to stoke crises and inflame Osun State in order to criminalize and demonize President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Makinde was reported to have mobilized thugs from Ibadan, Oyo State and provided shield for them to move to the state during inauguration of the illegal local government chairmen in Osogbo on Sunday afternoon while Bala Muhammed has secured the support of a PDP governor to mobilise Niger Deltan militants to wreck havoc in the state this week.

The attendance of the two governors, according to the party security intelligence, was to provide cover to move the hoodlums to the Government House in Osogbo.

The information available indicated that Dr Deji Adeleke pleaded with the two governors to personally attend the inauguration to perfect the plans of the attack and give the process a credibility having realized the national shame the election brought to the governor, his family and his political dynasty.

The mission of the transported Niger Deltan militants into the state, that would be disguising in security uniforms, is to abduct opposition members and intimidate citizens, creating an atmosphere of fear and chaos and blame opposition for it to gain public sympathy and confer legitimacy on the illegal chairmen.

It was also discovered that: "These militants are the same criminals notorious for kidnapping people for ransom in their region, and they have now been drafted to the state to unleash terror on our people.

"To provide cover for this sinister move is the Amotekun Corps, led by a controversial ex-police officer and former Chief Security Officer to Governor Ademola Adeleke, CSP Adekunle Omoyele (rtd). The men of the Amotekun Corps are to provide hooded cloths and mask in order to hide their identities and escape justice after perpetrating their evil acts.

"For avoidance of doubt, we urge the security agents to visit the official quarters of the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, at the Government House as at the time of issuing this press statement, it would be discovered that the mini-field of the building is bubbling like a military training ground with amalgamation of suspected cultists, hoodlums and militants drawn from outside the state.

"We decided to raise this alarm based on our ugly experience last week. It would be recalled that it was in this manner that Governor Adeleke raised alarm accusing former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of planning to foment trouble not knowing that they had laid ambush to kill our reinstated chairmen which led to the killing of Hon. Remi Abass in Irewole Local Government Council Area.

"We call on the people not to take Governor Adeleke serious. That has been his antics. He will issue a peace-prone directive and at the end would be promoting violence underground.

"This was the same strategy adopted during the verdict of the election petition tribunal in 2023 as well as the event of last week where no fewer than six members of the APC were bludgeoned to death following the judgement of the Appeal Court reinstating the chairmen and councillors.

"We call on the citizens of the state, particularly the workers and traders to be vigilant not to be victims of these hoodlums in the name of politics just as we call on security agents to be at alert and double efforts to protect the people of the state", the statement read.

Apc controls all the 30 lg secretariats and the Lcda now. Adeleke errand boys is no where to be found again. Besides 2026 governorship election will bury Adeleke reelection bid. He has failed woefully in governance and his illegality in the lg will never prevail.

Why did Adeleke instruct elected LGA chairmen not to resume their offices? Why do governors act like emperors and not know the limit of their authority?

Dem mad. Osun workers are on shut down for Adeleke. Those ones can die for him. Osun workers hate anything APC. So if dem no resume of which they will not,I wan see wetin those charlatan APC chairmen wan do. Maybe na den employ the workers, we go know.

All the masses are behind Adeleke,his winning in 2026 will be landslide. APC knows they hv no footing on ground. No rep,no senator,no house of assembly members,so they are using those naive chairmen for footing. E ni kuure

If 1 is taken from 1000, it becomes 999.

Don't let anyone fool you... Your vote matters. 999 can never be 1000 except that 1 is added.

Your vote matters. When 2027 comes. Please go and vote. Together we can vote out APC for trying so hard to dominate the whole country. Trying to suppress any opposition.

Don't let this evil party to continue this this their evil government.



with your vote and my vote, APC will be put to shame in 2027


Your vote matters
Re: Osun APC LG Chairmen Return, Issue Workers 72-Hour Resumption Deadline by Zico5(m): 5:42pm On Feb 24, 2025
A party of hunger and poverty is forcing itself on good people of Osun state. I curse any affiliation with APC in any capacity. The way things are going, I will vote for even Accord party than to waste my vote on party that has no bearing. I heard DSTV and GOTV have increased their subscription again and some fools up there are still supporting this evil party. I pity their future cos the curse of the masses shall never allow then to have peace of mind
