He should go and weep on Aso Rock to his brother Tinubu

Feudal nation. He wept because his fiefdom was taken away. Sounds like some emperor of antiquity in some medieval bedtime story land.

The last time I checked who governs the councils are none of his business. And if he cannot tolerate Federal meddling in his state why is he sobbing about the truncating of his vision for a greater Osun empire.

When we are ready for proper democracy wake me up and I will gladly make a beeline for the nearest INEC office to get a voter's card.

YOU PUT US IN A POLITICAL QUAGMIRE - Prince Oyinlola told Gov Adeleke

A strategic meeting was called by the governor in the Government House on Thursday 10/07/2025.
In attendance were Prince Oyinlola, (a former Governor of Osun State), Dr Olu Alabi, Oluomo Tajudeen Ladipo, Sunday Bisi, (the PDP State Chairman) and some trusted State EXCO Members. Nine of the Governor’s Commissioners are rumored to be working for APC already!!
The meeting was basically called because of the governor’s defection from PDP to APC. The governor gave an update on how far he had tried to reach President Tinubu to no avail. He revealed that they now want to use Gov Dapo Abiodun to reach Lateef Adegbite SAN who has the ears of the President, to use his connections to reach the President, but that, it wasn’t yet successful.
It was only Prince Oyinlola, out of the meeting participants, who brazed up to ask the governor pointed questions!
The Prince asked if he had secured gubernatorial automatic ticket of the APC, to which the governor said no.
The Prince probed further to know the number of Senatorial, Federal House of Representatives, State House of Assembly members are already ceded to him and the party before his taunted defection. The governor responded that those are yet to be discussed. In his, and other members who attended the meeting utter disappointment, the governor was asked to brief the meeting what the fate of the PDP elected Chairmen and Councilors are. To this, the Governor responded that it is still complicated!!
In candid embarrassment to those in attendance in the meeting, the governor was told without mincing words that what was the meaning of the Press Release that, it was President Tinubu who was appealing to him and the PDP to defect, as released by Olawale Rasheed, the Governor’s spokesman?
The governor looked confused and bursted into tears!!!

chigoziri2403:
Of what use is his tears?
Will tears solve the issues on ground

If person see Tinubu for dream, it shouldn't be a difficult decision to know what to do with him. Just ask him to kneel down and pray for him

But why has the state Govt refused to execute court order and move on ?The Governors always want to have their ways which shouldnt be

chigoziri2403:

What are the issues on ground, that are worse than the era of APC progreThieves?

Is he paying half salaries and owing pensions like Aregbesola when Oyetola was the CoS?

Is he not clearing the debt of unpaid pensions and salaries as well as loans that Oyetola failed to pay for four years? Even the Oga in Aso Rock is not paying down debt but taking more loans despite subsidy savings!

So what are your issues on the ground please

See as I dey look people with unnecessary emotions, are we serious as a people? How can we be using federal might to oppress? First, was Rivers and now, Osun. Where will all these lead to in terms of development. Can anytime wasted be regained. This APC govt is serious wahala to the nation

So his tears can pay salaries? If he doesn't receive allocaction ,should his state fold

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.

Aside that, the greatest mistake he made was to believe Atiku will win the 2023 election.

He frustrated the APC that he arrested virtually all APC big wigs, as if that wasn't enough he changed their campaign n convention venue at will n in the cause of them moving around they had a fatal accident where 18 people died.

Last last he worked for Atiku n atiku won osun state, now Tinubu is president n he knows it is APC that will coordinate his 2026 election so he knows they will pay him back in his own coin that's y he's jittery.


Tinubu have forgiven him but APC members in osun state are ready to eat him raw, u can see what omisore n co said.

They will finish him

chigoziri2403:

Did Aregbesola and Oyetola not receive allocation when they were owing salaries and pensions despite raising IGR and taking loans for years?

Is ebilokan not receiving allocation on top of subsidy savings but still borrowing more money than Buhari and even more than PDP presidents?

How do you explain all these things with your issues on the ground story

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

And who gets killed too.... obeying the court order which was a simple thing to do then as it still is will not resurrect the killed APC local government chairman who resumed back to office and I think that's worth weeping about shamelessly.

If you're rich,just mind your business otherwise politics will make u weep in public

WHEN A DANCER TOOK UP JOBS MEANT FOR SERIOURS LABOURER, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. ADELEKE IS THE WORST AMONG ALL THE CONTESTANT IN THE LAST ELECTION IN TERMS OF COMPETENCY BUT PEOPLE GO FOR MONEY AND FAME.

DeLaRue:
I don't think it was public.

What is more unprofessional though is for a Commissioner to be disclosing a Governor's private moment in public.

Adults must be able to keep their mouths shut about certain things.

That's for public sympathy, you know

LtChisom:
When the judiciary is now for the highest bidder, no hope for Nigeria with with the way APC baths and breathes with lies, corruption and impunity.

These people don't even have a simple conscience for the people that are suffering,. Once it is not their way, they don't care, they are after grasping all the power.

Lol. You think there is difference between APC, PDP, LP and Co, right? How old are you? You see politicians crossing from one party to the other everyday. You think Adeleke is different?

*He chased duly elected local government officials away without any compensation.
*He refused to obey court judgement reinstating them and you didn't see anything bad in it.
*He is among the governors that refused to let local governments open their own accounts directly with CBN.
*He sacked all the teachers employed by oyetola for flimsy excuse, sold new recruitment forms, conducted interviews but refused to employ a single teacher till today.

Popson0424:
What's really happening in osun State ? Na wa. Adeleke should just go to APC the case close

Many APC leaders are opposing his joining cos they know he will be defeated by then fairly. He had lost some formidable politician to apc and Aregbesola who supported him as joined ADC and will present a candidate. Adeleke is a terrible governor. He lack docurum. Only Tinubu will save the Adeleke's from disgrace. Davido has been quiet. I love south west politics expecially the other five states except Lagos. They boot you out when they don't want you. Money don't matter that time. We Edo copy that model too.

Lol…na water plenty for him eyes

The interesting thing about Tinubu's style of doing politics is to move, speak and play in stealth mode! He prefers to leave it to you to trace to him yourself the source of the challenges confronting you and further allows you to choose between political and financial ruin that is sure to be your lot in the result. Sampler: Tinubu, till date, has said nothing about Dino Melaye who on the floor of the Senate sexually and emotionally harassed and traumatised his wife who was then a Senator. Dino Melaye threatened to impregnate her! He knew she was a married woman and married to no less a man than Tinubu. Tinubu said nothing but left it to Dino Melaye to discover the source of the political and financial calamities serially befalling him! He was recently revealed by Lere Olayinka as politically hopeless to the point that on the day of Kogi gubernatorial election in which he was a candidate he remained at home trending on social media instead of voting - at least, for himself. Take Adeleke for another example, Tinubu had the traps well laid out for the dancing phenomenon of an Osun State Governor who was politically and financially strangulated to the point that he was generationally ridiculed when the photo record of the obeisance of a private visit to President Tinubu was released to the Press! Deji Adeleke knew he was finished and had to have a representative of next gen Adeleke to eat of the humble pie otherwise his financial empire will receive further bashings to the point of ruination!!! Tinubu took the dance out of the feet of the dancing governor and left him weeping instead. Don't toy with Tinubu without God on your side. As for Pastor EA Adeboye and the RCCG - they have God on their side!!!

Nkwazemakennyj come and tell me about this "crying".

You know I don't live in Osun state. You can enlighten me more.

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.

LtChisom:
Are you an APC supporter?

So? Is that all what you had to say as a response? This is issue based debate, not really about the political parties we belong to. Ademola Adeleke would have been in APC by now if not because APC stakeholders in the state rejected him. That's what I was telling you about the political parties not determining the characteristics of politicians

Eteka1:
So that's why he wants to go to APC? He should be a man please.

He should be a Man and do what? It's so sad that many of you that make comments have little understanding about how Nigerian Politics works? Do you think Osun State can survive without Federal Allocation? Please, be objective with your comments abeg.
