  …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.

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.

Osun 2026: MUPAF Vows to Scrutinise Muslim Guber Candidates, Demands Real Development Not Religious Tokenism

 The Muslim Political Awareness Front (MUPAF) has taken a firm stance on the importance of Muslims in politics and governance, emphasizing that electoral decisions must prioritize tangible development for the Muslim community.


Speaking at a constituency orientation programme on Sunday in Ogbaagba, Olaoluwa local government area of Osun state, MUPAF national Coordinator, Alh Lukman Obembe highlighted the need for transparency and accountability from political candidates especially in the forthcoming Osun State governorship election. 



“What we’ve seen is that many political parties have fielded Muslim candidates in the August 8 governorship election. It is now crucial for us to examine their programs, what they intend to do for Islam and the broader community, because Islam demands community development,” a MUPAF spokesperson said.


The group explained that it will meet and assess candidates’ manifestos and policies to determine who has the best blueprint for advancing development before declaring our official stance.


“It is no longer acceptable for someone to assume office in the name of Islam only to pursue unrelated agendas. Enough of that. Muslims represent a larger portion of Osun’s people and  political actors, and it is time we take active control of our future,” Obembe added.


MUPAF stressed that future leaders should make Islam meaningful and beneficial, while also delivering democratic dividends without favoritism. The organization criticized politics driven by secret society and made the interests of Islam as optional.


To reinforce accountability, MUPAF plans to write to all Osun guber candidates from ADC, APC, SDP among others, juxtaposing their manifestos to ensure that Muslim voices are respected and not sidelined in the state’s political discourse.


“Our goal is clear: to ensure that Muslim interests are neither ignored nor trampled upon, and that the next government contributes to the genuine development of the community,” the group concluded.

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 ...
