Wole Oke Breaks Silence: Stop Blackmailing Tinubu, Oyetola, AGF, – Obey the Court on Osun LG Crisis



In a bold and unsparing statement, Hon. Oluwole Oke, a former federal lawmaker and erstwhile chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has accused Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, of weaponizing blackmail against key national figures over the lingering local government crisis in the state.


Oke, who made the statement Thursday morning via his official Facebook page, called on Governor Adeleke to cease dragging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC leader and former Osun Governor Asiwaju Gboyega Oyetola, Attorney-General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi SAN, and the Central Bank Governor into what he described as “a self-inflicted constitutional crisis.”

 “Please stop blackmailing Mr. President and Commander-in-Chief Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Osun State APC Leader Asiwaju Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola, the Attorney General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi SAN, and the CBN Governor,” Oke declared. “It is your government that is inflicting pain on us the true beneficiaries of local government administration in Osun State, by refusing to do the right thing.”



The lawmaker, who recently exited the PDP, cited disregard for sound legal advice and the entrenchment of sycophants in government as key reasons for his departure.


 “I personally advised you on what to do following the Court of Appeal’s judgment reinstating the APC-elected council chairmen, vice-chairmen, and councillors. But you ignored it,” he said. “Only an illiterate lawyer would misguide you into believing the ruling was unclear. The court ruled definitively that PDP and OSSIEC approached the wrong court. What else do you need to hear, sir?”



Oke emphasized that the legal window for a Supreme Court appeal has closed and urged Governor Adeleke to comply with the court’s decision immediately.


 “What’s left is simple: Direct the local government civil servants under NULGE to resume work and cooperate with the legally reinstated APC officials. Their tenure must run its course unless compensation is provided for the remaining period,” he said.



The outspoken politician also recommended that OSSIEC commence preparations for fresh local government elections within the next 180 days, while appealing for dignity and support for the PDP aspirants who participated in the now-nullified exercise.

 “Many PDP chairmanship aspirants and councillors sold properties and took loans, owo isobo, so ogun di ogoji,

to contest in that flawed election. They are now living in hopelessness. I pray they survive this ordeal. The Governor can offer them relief by appointing some as Special Advisers or Senior Special Assistants.”



Oke concluded with a unifying message, asserting that both APC and PDP members are citizens of Osun State and deserve responsible governance rooted in justice and respect for the constitution.

“You owe us all a duty of care, Mr. Governor,” he said. “Governance must be about service, not vendettas or propaganda.”



Efforts to reach Governor Adeleke’s spokesperson for a response were unsuccessful as of press time.

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 ...
