The party specifically urged the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and other relevant security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

Progressive Power Play: Wole Oke's Move Signals Realignment in Osun Politics



In a bold and strategic political move, Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, a respected federal lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). His defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was formally announced today at the National Assembly in Abuja, where he was received by a high-powered delegation of APC leaders from Ijesa North.


Leading the APC delegation was the State Chairman of the party in Osun, Alhaji Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, accompanied by notable leaders including High Chief Emiola Ogunsanya, Hon. Isaac Felix Aboge, Hon. Israel Tomi Aloba, Alhaja Kudirat Fakokunde, Hon. Chief Kayode Ajewole (Golo), Hon. Lasun Ogunsanya, Barr. Nathaniel Ojo, Hon. Chief Ademola Ajibola, Hon. Oyewole Oyebamiji, Bashorun Tayo Omojowogbe, Hon. Oluyide, Barr. Seun Odofin and several other key stakeholders from the zone. Their presence signaled the significance of Hon. Wole Oke’s decision and the unity within the APC ahead of future political engagements.

While welcoming Hon. Oke into the party, Alhaji Tajudeen Lawal commended his courage, vision, and unrelenting commitment to the welfare of his constituents. He described Oke’s defection as a gain for progressive politics in Osun State and a testament to the inclusive spirit of the APC.

High Chief Emiola Ogunsanya expressed immense joy and satisfaction over Oke’s decision, noting that efforts had long been made to bring the lawmaker into the progressive fold. “Today marks a turning point for Ijesa North. Hon. Wole Oke is a man of capacity, influence, and deep connection to the grassroots. His decision to join us is a sign of greater things to come,” Ogunsanya said.

Hon. Isaac Aboge and Hon. Israel Tomi Aloba also lauded the defection as a step in the right direction. They praised Oke for choosing the APC as a platform to continue his people-oriented representation and promised to work closely with him to advance the party’s interests across the constituency.

With Hon. Wole Oke now fully aligned with the APC, political watchers believe the party's strength in Osun East Senatorial District has been significantly boosted. His entry into the party is expected to enhance the party’s grassroots appeal and reposition Ijesa North for greater political influence.

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...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
