He commended the administration of Governor Adeleke for its resilience, commitment and proactiveness towards ensuring that Osun State remains peaceful thereby retaining its envious status as one of the peaceful states in Nigeria.

While admonishing the people of the state to continue to embrace peace as well as sustain their support for the state government,he maintained that it is one of the means of enjoying dividends of democracy.

PRESS RELEASE

Osun LG: Gov. Adeleke's frivolous litigations responsible for delayed projects ex*****on - ALGON Chair, Abiodun Idowu tells residents
..Says FG not withholding Council Allocation, paying as and when due into Councils' Accounts
.Warns Adeleke's govt against dragging ex-Governor Oyetola into its irredeemable woes

The Forum of the Council Chairmen in Osun State, under the umbrella of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), has declared that Senator Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor has been responsible for the delay in the ex*****on of developmental projects across the local government areas in the state.

Osun ALGON chided the state government unchecked hypocrisy saying "Adeleke's government frivolous litigations had been halting grassroots development since the reinstatement of council Chairmen and Councillors by the Court of Appeal judgement of February 10th, 2025.

The Council Chairmen cleared that the Federal Government has been faithful in releasing local government allocation, and paying regularly as and when due into the respective proper councils' accounts.

Osun ALGON urged Governor Adeleke to live by reality and stop dragging his predecessor, current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola into his palpable ineptitude and irredeemable woes.

The Local Government Chairmen, in a statement, signed and made available to newsmen by Osun ALGON Chairman, Hon. Samuel Idowu Abiodun, slammed Governor Adeleke for demanding the release of local government allocation into the joint accounts noting that the Governor doesn't possess such power as it contradicts the Supreme Court judgment in respect of local government autonomy.

Recall that Governor Ademola Adeleke had in a statewide broadcast on Monday claimed among other things, that Osun local government allocation had been withheld by the federal government and that the tenure of the incumbent Council Chairmen and Councillors had expired.

Reacting to some of the claims, Hon. Abiodun explained that the Supreme Court judgment was cleared enough as it affirmed autonomy for the local government administration to operate without any interference from the state government hence 'meddlesome interloper' on the part of Osun state government.

He described Governor Adeleke's myriad of claims as baseless, unfounded and political gimmick calculated to earn undue public sympathy "which in turn had fallen flat on them due to their ulterior motives"

Hon. Abiodun noted that the Council Chairmen and Councillors went to Federal High Court to seek constitutional clarification on the determination of their tenure as against the touted tenure elongation being speculated by the Governor and his aides, maintained that it is constitutionally cleared that any elected council Chairman has three years tenure of office and that the three years of current Council Officers began February 10th, 2025 when they were reinstated by the Appellate Court.

"It is unfortunate that the people in government in the state have been trying so hard to mislead the public on the allocation of local governments in Osun. In contrary, the truth of the matter is that Osun Local Government Allocation has been releasing regularly and promptly as and when due into the various Councils' Accounts - meaning that the federal government is not at any point withholds Council funds. Till this present moment, all the funds due to our councils had been paid up till date only that Governor Adeleke has been responsible for the full control of the funds due to plethora of legal suits being instituted against the full access of the funds.

"In contrary to Governor Adeleke's claims, I want the people of the state particularly residents of our various Councils to hold Governor Ademola Adeleke responsible for the delay in the ex*****on of developmental projects which we had made in our appropriation bills recently presented to the Councils' Legislative Arm.

"Let me make it abundantly clear that Governor Adeleke do not have executive power to demand for the release of Council funds as this is in gross contradiction to the Supreme Court judgment on autonomy of local government administration in Nigeria. Also, the council Chairmen and Councillors deliberately approached the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo to seek judicial interpretation of our tenure knowing fully well that our tenure began the day we were reinstated by the judgment of the Appellate Court - which, till today, the respondents - PDP and its cohorts had failed to appeal to the Supreme Court. This, by implication, our reinstatement remains valid and constitutional until the three years expiration of our tenure in 2028.

" If not hypocrisy of the highest order, how can Governor Adeleke and his government that claimed we do not have tenure at all now referring and referencing our tenure termination in October, 2025. This is a high sense of inconsistency and hypocrisy.

"We advise Governor Adeleke to stop dragging His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola into the Local Government issues in Osun State. Those of us in the Local Governments are independent and capable of handling our matter maturely and legally. It is clear to functional sights that the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is too busy in repositioning the maritime sector than to reduce governance to pettiness and political rhetorics of the Adeleke's government. His position as the Minister has nothing to do with Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs and he has no reason to interfere with the issues relating to the Local Government", Abiodun affirmed.

OSUN LG TUSSLE: COURT GRANTS LEAVE TO SQUASH CRIMINAL CASE AGAINST UBA

30th January 2026

The Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo on Friday issused Leave to the United Bank for Africa UBA in Suit Hos/M4/2026 for quashing the criminal proceedings being held at the Magistrate Court in Osogbo.

The Leave was granted today 30th January, 2026 in a Motion Ex-parte granted by Justice M. O. Agboola of the High Court of Osun State.

Meanwhile, the Magistrate A. A. Adeyeba who is a party in the Suit still issued a bench warrant against some officials of the UBA notwithstanding of being aware of a Leave earlier granted on the same day by the High Court to the UBA seeking to quash the proceedings in the matter before the Magistrate.

Magistrate Adeyeba who is also a party in the High Court matter is expected to await the decision of the Superior Court over the determination of the validity of charge No. Mos/601c/2025 once the Leave had been granted but refused to honour the ruling and went ahead to issue a bench warrant.

In the same vein, the Magistrate ignored pendency of Suit No. FHC/OS/CS/19/2026 in which the Magistrate is also a Defendant instituted by the reinstated Chairmen and Councilors to challenge illegality being perpetrated at the Magistrate Court over the purported charge.

Reacting to the development, the Osun ALGON Chairman, Hon. Samuel Idowu Abiodun lauded the High Court decision saying the Leave granted the UBA officials is an affirmation of supremacy of the rule of law.

Abiodun who described the issuance of Bench Warrant as bizarre said it beats the imagination of any right-thinking member of the public in the fact that a whole Magistrate who is expected to uphold the rule of law would snub the same law and descend on innocent officials of the bank who have chosen to be law abiding by approaching the State High Court to vent their grievances over the Illegality being arranged at the Magistrate court.

He therefore advised members of the public to remain calm and be law-abiding while the Illegality is being lawfully fought in the court of law.

30th January 2026

The Osun State Police Command has apprehended an 18-year-old suspect, Isaac Lucky, in connection with a murder case in the Idoka community. According to the police, the suspect had been causing problems in the community due to his alleged involvement in drug abuse, including substances like kolos, loud, and tramadol.

The suspect's arrest followed a complaint from a community member on December 19, 2025, alleging that he had committed another crime. The suspect was pursued by the victim and other youth in the community, and he allegedly strangled the victim to death near a pond in the community.

An investigation was conducted, and the case was subsequently charged to court. The suspect has been remanded at the correctional center.

This information is contained in a press statement signed by DSP Abiodun Ojelabi, Police Public Relations Officer for the Osun State Police Command. In the statement, the command warned the youth to steer clear of drug abuse, which can have detrimental effects on their health and future. The command emphasized that intoxication is not a defense for committing crimes.

The police command's efforts to curb crime and ensure public safety in the state are ongoing.
