  …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.

Accord Osun Demands Answers from Adeleke on Appointments, Rejects PDP Takeover”

 The Osun State chapter of the Accord Party has demanded clarity from Governor Ademola Adeleke on political appointments, electoral opportunities, and the future of the party following its alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).



In a New Year statement signed by key party executives, Accord Osun congratulated Governor Adeleke on the progress of his administration and reaffirmed its support for his leadership. However, the party voiced concern over what it called unresolved agreements and lingering uncertainty surrounding the alliance.

“We are wholeheartedly in support of Your Excellency and ready to work with you. However, we must remind you of the promises made to our party, and we are becoming increasingly impatient about when these promises will be fulfilled,” the statement read.

The party also raised alarms over claims that its former chairman allegedly handed over Accord’s structures from ward to state levels - to the PDP without members’ consent. “We say no to this,” the leadership stated, insisting that Accord remains an independent political entity.

Accord Osun further rejected plans to appoint coordinators across local governments without consultation with party members. The party alleged that the caretaker committee, led by Pastor Victor, was planning to impose coordinators statewide, a move described as “unacceptable.”

“We are the landlords. We must be consulted and considered if anything must be done within our party,” the statement emphasized.

Beyond structural issues, Accord Osun questioned the tangible benefits of the alliance, particularly regarding appointments and opportunities for its members to contest elective positions. “It is important to ask Mr. Governor: what do you have for us for taking over our party?” the statement queried.

State Organising Secretary, Hon. Yakub Olayinka, reminded that political parties are collective institutions, not personal properties to be handed over or test-run by any individual or group.

The statement was jointly endorsed by Oladapo O. Joseph (State Treasurer), Babalola Tolulope (State Youth Leader), Alhaji Nasiru Bolarinwa (State Secretary), Alhaja Rukayat Olanrewaju (Women Leader), and Adedayo Daniel Oluwole (State Publicity Secretary).

Accord Osun concluded by urging Governor Adeleke and relevant stakeholders to engage in dialogue to clarify the terms of the alliance and ensure mutual respect, inclusiveness, and political fairness going forward.

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 ...
