Governor Adeleke Warned: Critics Claim Obokun and Oriade Delegates Are Out to Exploit Him






Critics have raised concerns ahead of a scheduled meeting between Governor Ademola Adeleke and selected political leaders from Obokun and Oriade local governments. They have cautioned the governor not to be deceived by those he has invited to the Government House, alleging that many among them are only seeking personal gain under the guise of party loyalty.


The critics issued a stern warning: “Mr. Governor, we warned you. Do not be deceived. Those coming from Obokun and Oriade are not coming in good faith, they are here to scam you and take what rightly belongs to others.”


This strong message comes as the Osun State Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke popularly known as “Imole” is set to meet with several PDP leaders from Obokun on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at 2:00 PM, at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Oke-Fia, Osogbo.

The list of invitees includes notable figures such as:

Hon. Mayowa Adejoorin

Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi

Prince Diran Odeyemi

Mrs. Eniola Omotoso

Bishop Mike Adewale

Hon. Jire Agboola

Hon. Rotimi Odugbemi

Hon. Kunle Adeoti

All elected Councillors from Obokun and Oriade

Party State Officers including Yemisi Itiola and Mrs. Idowu Adeyemi

LG Chairmen, Excos, and Ward Chairmen

Dr. David Ogunsade

Hon. Adenle Adejumo

Alhaja Tunrayo Akuruyejo

Chief Sesan Orija, among many others.


In total, over 60 names are listed as participants in the high-profile meeting. 
The warning from critics suggests a growing internal rift within the Osun PDP, and how Governor Adeleke responds to these concerns may influence future political dynamics in the state, especially as 2026 elections draw closer.

Efforts to reach party officials for comments on the allegations were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...
