I thought na to be billionaire and dance that’s good governance.

I don’t blame him I blame the simps that thought a musician and dancer should be enough to have a good governor

The crying governor. Davido should console his uncle with danceable song.

Olamicwoto:
Politics hmmm is all abt who get what, when and how. Let him obey d court order

which Court, is there any court in Nigeria currently? We only have Tinubu distabilizing everything from one conner

press9jatv:
cos' it's an order from CBN. It's not only Osun State funds that was frozen, there are some states funds that was frozen too.

I still do not understand the offense. Court ruled in favor of the sacked Chairmen, they returned to office with their Councillors, even those elected in the election conducted by Adeleke didn't resume, yet, the funds are still being withheld.

Who are the Musketeers Masquerading for Adeleke in APC?

By Cornelius Boulus

The false claims that Governor Ademola Adeleke has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and that President Bola Tinubu begged him to join the party have been debunked. It has been established that President Tinubu did not promise Adeleke an automatic ticket, nor is he aware of the fake claims of the Osun governor joining APC.

A few party chieftains, without the President's consent, have been assuring Adeleke of a ticket if he joins APC, citing his incumbency as a governor. However, key stakeholders in Osun and National APC, including Chief Bisi Akande and ex-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, are unaware of these arrangements.

Given this development, it appears Governor Adeleke has been misled by individuals promising him unrealistic outcomes. These lobbyists have propped Adeleke to promise unrealistic deliverables for the President in 2027, including mobilizing over one million votes for APC in the presidential poll.

The feasibility of this promise is questionable, considering Oyo State, with twice Osun's population, failed to produce one million votes for APC in 2023 despite purported support from Governor Seyi Makinde.

Three prominent individuals from the Southwest, including two incumbent governors and a former principal officer in the National Assembly, stand out among these lobbyists. Notably, they failed to deliver their states for APC in the presidential election. In fact, APC struggled to edge its opponent with barely 3,000 votes in the local government of one of them who spent about 20 years in the national assembly. The other collaborator equally did not deliver the deserving votes for APC in the presidential election. Whereas there were more registered voters in his state ( 2,288,305 voters) than Osun State (1,954,000), APC got more votes in the election in Osun. So their claims of bringing Adeleke to APC to bolster President Tinubu's chances in 2027 are dubious, given their own track records.

Their actions seem to be driven by self-interest rather than a genuine desire to strengthen APC. If their only excuse is that Adeleke's incumbency would confer advantage on the re-election bid of President Tinubu, what happened to their incumbencies as governor and speaker in 2023 when APC lost in their state?

Is it not foolish that these boastful chieftains, who have been severally accused of diverting election fund and undermining the chances of the party in the 2022 governorship poll when they held strategic positions, are shaving the head of Osun APC behind them? Why this level of resentment and demonization of Osun APC because the President lost there in 2023 with negligible 10,000 votes? When will these people be truthful for once to situate the peculiarity of the Osun APC in 2023? Was there any state in Nigeria where APC lost as many as 30 of its members for supporting Tinubu to become Nigeria's President as Osun APC did? Osun APC not only lost its members, it lost key mobilizers of the party in 2023 in the hands of PDP thugs.

Let's ask: what is the rationale behind supporting Adeleke for re-election when APC have no fewer than six popular aspirants jostling for the ticket? These aspirants are popular and many of them won massively for Tinubu in their local governments in 2023. In Osun West, Adeleke's stronghold, APC won in 5 of the 10 LGs to wit: Ejigbo, Ayedaade, Isokan, Irewole and Iwo. APC also won massively in ex-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola's Boripe Local Government and Otunba Iyiola Omisore's Ife.

So why are the lobbyists obsessed with an Adeleke who is running from the anger of the electorate who have resolved to punish him at the poll in 2026 for wasting their mandate and failing to give credible and sensible governance in three years?

Why are the canvassers not truthful that a successful import of Adeleke to APC would destabilize the party cohesion and unity?

Are the demagogues not concerned about the agitation of supporters of Otunba Iyiola Omisore ( former PDP governorship candidate), Pa Shuaib Oyedokun ( former PDP Deputy Chairman), Prince Dotun Babayemi ( former PDP governorship aspirant), Kayode Oduoye ( former PDP governorship aspirant), Prince Kazeem Adio ( former Secretary to the State Government during the time of ex-Governor Oyinlola), Dr Akin Ogunbiyi ( former PDP governorship aspirant), Dr Peter Babalola ( former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Oyinlola) and others who were pushed out of PDP by the Adeleke dynasty to sustain their greedy hold on the party?

The truth is that Adeleke is coming to APC with baggage that will be difficult for existing structure to whitewash. Or how would they whitewash a governor who received almost one trillion naira revenue in 30 months and could not employ one single teacher or replace teachers and health workers he sacked on assumption of office? How would they whitewash a governor who accused the President of bringing poverty to Nigeria following the removal of oil subsidy? How would they whitewash a governor who accused the Inspector General of Police of attempting to assassinate him? How would they whitewash a governor who has been accused of funneling local government fund to bank accounts linked to his family members? How would they whitewash a governor whose family members and close associates are now regular visitors to EFCC and ICPC offices on account of fraud and mismanagement of public fund? How would they whitewash a governor who attracted zero direct investment to the state in three years? And finally, how would they tell families and relatives of over 30 APC supporters slaughtered during last electioneering?

Osun APC must rise in unison to reject the Trojan horse some progressive turncoats are struggling to foist on them. They must do away with the Greek gift from the PDP. His coming will definitely bring troubles, sorrows and strifes.

Just get an injunction restricting both PDP and APC until determination of the suit. I think you need to start thinking out of the box. After all I heard your big brother is a Financial Engineer , so he should be able to create wealth out of nothing. Remember someone went through the same challenge and he is President today and now it your turn to prove yourself that you could be a President down the road.

Crocodile tears! Why is he crying over a self-made problem and of course the problem whose solution lies in his hands? This is stupidity of the highest order I suppose.
The issue is as simple as following the rule of law nah

Dancing man is weeping for his impending defeat


I'm not seeing tyrant forgiving him for the defeat he let him had in his ancestral home state in 2023.

Yemimovich:
He goofed too many times on politics. When the court upheld the the swearing in of the yes/no local government chairmen he met after his victory to become a governor, he wasn't satisfied. He wasn't patient to let them complete their tenure, then he went ahead to conduct his own election, and his party swept all local government seats. The incumbent ones went to court again, and the court still validated their election to complete their tenure, but the governor still wouldn't agree. Along the line, theocal government allocations have increased by far, and these yes/no chairmen are eyeing the money to get good pay, but it led to chaos that even caused deaths, closure of local govt secretariats. Right now, the federal govt has frozen their allocation for about 3 to 5 months now if I'm not mistaken. That's huge. He played into the big politicians' hands. He has submitted to their will. He will join the ruling party, and the cry of 15 minutes if you ask me is part of the game. They just taught him politics too. Dino broke his own neck, same as Fayose. Twas all charade. So, Adeleke, welcome to Naija politics. It's not your mate.

Thanks for giving a clear concise summary of the events that led up to this point

Dem don show am say
Governance and dancing competition no be same thing......

There is no child that will not weep the moment a feeding bottle of SIMILAC is withdrawn from their mouth.

A governor without LG allocation is just like the child being discribed above .

A waste of tears.
He should have just danced.
That's what he's known for.
Moreover, why would a governor be weeping instead of thinking?

Believe Nigerian politicians at ur own peril....No be only wept na wail

He could have started with crying and laugh lady towards the end of his regime.

Softmirror:
When politicians weeeeeeeeeeeep. What comes to your mind?

it's deception and crocodile tears nothing else my brother

No be politicians

Fabricated lies

Theatractics antics

All still aiming at holding on to power!!!

opes:
But why are the fund still being withheld when the sacked APC local government Chairmen and councillors have returned to office?

He didn’t allow them to return, Infact when they wanted to return crisis broke out and his supporters killed and injured people which led to the death of prominent APC members like Executive Chairman of irewole local government in ikire.

And I think that is why APC in Osun state are finding it difficult to accept him to APC because of what he has done to them. Southwest governors still lobbying for him sha.
