  …Say Monarch's Claim Exposes Adeleke's Gross Incompetence, Loss Of Security Control Of Osun The leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osogbo, Osun State capital, on Sunday demanded probe into the alleged assassination attempt on the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji. The party leaders noted that the Ataoja's assassination claim has further exposed Governor Ademola Adeleke's gross incompetence, ineptitude and total loss of the control of the state security. They called on security agencies to beam their searchlight and investigate the alleged assassination attempt on the monarch as part of efforts to unraveling the circumstances surrounding the monarch’s claim. 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.

From Market Stalls to Power Halls: Fadahunsi Becomes Tinubu’s Key Political Ally in Osun

 


The recent political event at Sabo Market, Ilesa, Osun State, marked a significant moment in the state's political landscape, primarily through the public debut of Senator Ade Fadahunsi as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).Choosing the bustling Market Square a melting pot of ethnicities and a symbol of Nigerian diversity for his announcement, Fadahunsi created a charged atmosphere that resonated deeply with market women, traders, and local residents.



His declaration was rich in symbolism, drawing on the biblical parable of the lost coin (Luke 15:8–9) to illustrate his political message. By stating that he held "imole" (light) in one hand and "igbale" (broom) in the other, he metaphorically suggested that he had illuminated the path and cleaned away obstacles to restore a lost treasure to Osun namely, the political influence and leadership embodied by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


Fadahunsi’s rallying cry “Moti ti ri! E wa wo!!” (“I have found it! Come and see!!”) was met with enthusiastic responses from the crowd, cementing his appeal and signaling a collective endorsement of Tinubu’s leadership ahead of the 2027 presidential contest.


Beyond the symbolism, Senator Fadahunsi's political standing is notable. Known for his grassroots connection, empowerment initiatives, and constituency-focused governance, he wields considerable influence in Osun East and across the broader South West region. 



Reports indicating his role in aligning fellow Osun senators to back Tinubu for the presidency highlight his strategic importance within the state's political hierarchy.


In essence, this event and Fadahunsi’s positioning indicate a realignment within Osun State politics, with potential national implications as 2027 draws near. His emergence as a political power broker allied with President Tinubu marks him as a key figure to watch in Nigeria's evolving political narrative.


The Ilase-Ijesa born lawmaker further stressed that voter registration should be given the highest priority in every community, ward, and local government area within the Osun East Senatorial District.


He emphasized that the PVC is the sole legal document required for active participation in elections and a key tool to back President Tinubu’s economic policies.

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 ...
