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.

Consensus Over Contest: Odesola, Olasupo Take Helm as Osun APP Resets Leadership Structure

 



In a move that underscores internal cohesion and strategic alignment, the Action Peoples Party (APP) in Osun State has produced a new set of executives through a consensus-driven state congress, with Mr. Odesola Titus and Mr. Olasupo Ibrahim Olarewaju emerging as State Chairman and State Secretary respectively.




The congress, held on Sunday, concluded without contest, as stakeholders across the party structure unanimously endorsed candidates for various leadership positions, an outcome party insiders described as a reflection of unity and shared purpose.



In a statement released shortly after the exercise, the newly elected chairman, Odesola Oluseye Titus, confirmed that the process was peaceful and widely accepted by delegates. According to him, the adoption of consensus as the mode of election eliminated internal frictions and reinforced confidence in the party’s organisational stability.



“The congress adopted consensus as the mode of election, with stakeholders endorsing nominees across various positions,” the statement read, noting that the process demonstrated a collective commitment to strengthening the party’s internal framework.



Beyond the top leadership, other key positions were also filled through stakeholder consultations. Mrs. Azeez Kudirat Ayoni emerged as State Women Leader, while Mr. Adegoke Olafare Olusegun was named State Organising Secretary. Similarly, Mr. Alimin Surajudeen Tanimola was selected as State Publicity Secretary, and Mr. Akintayo Israel Oluwatobi as State Youth Leader. Mr. Raji Jimoh Oladipupo was appointed State Auditor.

Further appointments saw Mr. Odediran Kehinde Opeolu take on the role of State Treasurer, while Mrs. Babatunde Olufunke Victoria emerged as State Financial Secretary.



At the grassroots level, the congress extended its consensus model to local government structures, producing chairmen and chairpersons across the state. Among them are Mr. Adedokun Adewale Moses (Ife North), Mrs. Adeyemi Kahidijat Iyabo (Ayedaade), Mr. Shittu Muritala Ajadi (Irewole), and Mr. Hassan Oyedepo Taiwo (Olorunda).

Others include Mr. Ademoriyo Ademola Samuel (Ife East), Mr. Adebayo Yekeen Adekunle (Iwo), Mr. Aladeyemi Kayode Theophilus (Ede North), Mr. Abiodun Olaniyi Idowu (Ila), and Mr. Alabi Ojo Adeyinka (Ayedire). Mr. Opeyemi Afeez Abiodun emerged for Orolu, Mr. Adekeye Adebayo Isiaka for Ede South, while Mr. Muhammad Waheed Ola and Mr. Ogunyemi Samuel Damilola were announced for Osogbo and Ifedayo respectively.




Party officials confirmed that all newly selected executives would assume office immediately, emphasizing that the consensus approach adopted at the congress signals a renewed phase of unity, coordination, and forward-looking leadership within the APP in Osun State.

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 ...
