Osun Renewal Group Accuses Governor Adeleke of Incompetence, Nepotism, and Endangering the State’s Future


 

Osogbo, Osun State


The Osun Renewal Group (ORG) has raised alarm over what it describes as the dangerous collapse of governance in Osun State under Governor Ademola Adeleke, accusing him of “gross ineptitude, lack of intellectual capacity, and unprecedented family capture of government.”


In a strongly worded statement issued on Sunday in Osogbo, the group lamented that since Adeleke assumed office in November 2022, “Osun State has been reduced to a shadow of itself, its resources mismanaged, institutions weakened, and its future endangered.”


Education in Collapse


ORG said the education sector is in a state of emergency, with thousands of duly appointed teachers unlawfully dismissed, leaving many schools grossly understaffed. “Some local governments now operate with only one science teacher across all secondary schools, while pupils are packed into dilapidated classrooms. Schools for special-needs children are neglected, without basic facilities or trained staff,” the group noted.


Healthcare in Disarray


The statement described the state’s healthcare system as “in tatters,” citing arbitrary dismissal and rehiring of health workers, poorly maintained hospitals, and critical shortages of supplies. “Rather than investing in personnel and equipment, the government has chosen cosmetic renovations and media propaganda,” ORG said.


Economy Without Vision


On the economy, ORG accused Adeleke’s administration of focusing on “propaganda over progress,” cancelling youth empowerment schemes without alternatives and failing to deliver promised job creation. “Businesses are fleeing Osun due to erratic policies and lack of infrastructure,” the group declared.


Abandoned Infrastructure and Declining Security


ORG further condemned the administration’s failure to deliver promised road, flyover, and electrification projects, describing most as “stalled or abandoned.” Security, once a point of pride for Osun, is now in decline with kidnappings, cult clashes, and political thuggery on the rise, the group warned.


Nepotism and Fiscal Recklessness


The group accused Adeleke of turning the state into “a family enterprise,” with siblings allegedly controlling appointments, budgets, and key decisions. “Public funds are spent without transparency, while critical ministries like Education and Health remain starved of resources. Pensioners and civil servants are left unpaid as billions vanish into unaccounted expenditures,” ORG alleged.


The Verdict


“Osun State is not a private estate; it belongs to its people,” the statement concluded. “The governance under Governor Adeleke has failed by every measurable standard. If the governor cannot return to the path of accountability and service delivery, he should vacate the office he so ineptly occupies. Osun deserves competent, visionary leadership, not family capture and administrative incompetence.”

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 ...
