GOVERNOR ADELEKE WILL DELIVER ALL HE PROMISED OSUN PEOPLE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT... GEORGE ALABI HOW DID YOU GET INTO POLITICS  Well, everybody is a political animal. I have natural flair for politics maybe because my father was a one time OBA for the whole Nigerians based in Cote D'Ivoire. During my childhood, I could see my father administering people from different tribe not now that people refer to themselves as Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and the rest. Then we always see ourselves as Nigerians. I used to see him inviting people to the house, settling quarrels from inter tribal issues to other issues among Nigerians over there. That was when I decided to go into politics.  COMPARISON OF THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND PRESENT ADMINISTRATION I have the opportunity of serving 6 months with the previous governor, Ogbeni Aregbesola and I can say I know some of the ways they run their government in APC.  Politics apart, the current party is People oriented and we always have people's s

Ilesa Water Project: Osun APC Should Be Ashamed Of Its Failure - PDP  **Mulls Prosecution of Culprits. The ruling party in Osun State, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has slammed the opposition party in Osun over its thoughtless remarks on the Ilesa Water Project.  The recent remark from Osun APC chairman, Tajudeen Lawal,  calling Adeleke's action about the project "Political pettiness" shows that APC is not remorseful for the atrocities it committed while in office. The challenges the project is facing were caused by the Oyetola government. It was Oyetola who terminated the contractor's contract leading to the litigation that the state is battling. In a release from the Media Office of the party, the State Chairman, Hon. Sunday Bisi while commenting on the Ilesa water project and the recent reaction from the opposition, described the APC as an anti-people association and a clueless party. Governor Adeleke's action exemplifies the responsible oversight exp

Alawo Stool: CHRSJ Should Seek Proper Education, and Stop Blackmailing Osun Gov, Attorney General. The Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) needs to seek proper education from authorities on the throne of the Alawo of Awo in Egbedore Local Government, rather than embarking on blackmail against the Governor, His Excellency, Senator Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke and the Attorney General of the state, Barrister Oluwole Jimi-Bada. The ridiculous petition letter, submitted to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chairman, the National Judicial Commission(NJC) by the above-named organization over a matter that was initiated by the immediate-past Governor, Mr Gboyega Oyetola, which is patiently waiting for the Supreme Court’s final decision is just too hypocritical and even subjudiced. Right in the body of the said petition, there are numerous inconsistencies including an allegation that His Excellency  Governor Nurudeen Jackson Ademola Adeleke will soon issue the staff of

Akin Adeyi's Sphere Of Absurdity  By Saliu Nofisat Opeyemi  Akin Adeyi is a rabble-rouser and worse, a shameless liar. But no one could have imagined that he will descend so low to involve innocent babies in his politics of lies. In his usual obscene character, Adeyi irresponsibly claimed that the overseas trip of Governor Ademola Adeleke was to attend the naming ceremony of the twins of Mr. David Adeleke,. popularly known as Davido. He went a step further in his campaign of lies by falsely claiming that Commissioners and Special Advisers joined Governor Adeleke in that trip. How can Adeyi be this reckless with lies? Sigh! For the record, Mr. David Adeleke and his wife, Chioma, welcomed their twins on October 13, 2023, and by customs and norms, naming ceremony should hold eight days after, which should be October 20, 2023. This is common sense but obviously, Adeyi lacks any, otherwise, he would not have mischievously linked the trip of Governor Adeleke more than two weeks after to

Clarifying incident involving the orderly to the wife of the Osun state Governor, Mrs Titilola Adeleke OSOGBO: 04/12/2023- osunstate.gov.ng The Osun state government wishes to clarify the mild incident involving the wife of the State Governor, Mrs Titilola Adeleke and her orderly. Mrs Adeleke got stuck while trying to fix her jewelries to dress up for an event and the Police officer who was there incidentally offered to help her fix it. It is never a practice for police officers within Government House to be involved in such activities. We wish to inform the public that there is a standing rule for all principal officers and top functionaries of the state government never to engage their security details in any domestic or unofficial engagement. Nofisat Soliu, Media Assistant, Office of the wife of the Governor

No Osun State Official Attended Naming Ceremony in Atlanta - Commissioner OSOGBO - 04/12/2023 - Osunstate.gov.ng The Osun State government is constrained to clarify that no Osun state government official attended any naming ceremony in Atlanta, United States as being peddled in some opposition misinformation gaffe. There was also no official delegation to any social event in the United States as there was no such event in the first place. Those behind the conjectures arising from directional confusion are to be educated that no naming ceremony took place for the new David Adeleke's twins.  Lets further enlighten them that babies are usually named before leaving the hospital in the United States of America so that birth certificates can be issued.  We also need to add that top state officials and commissioners were at their duty posts attending to state functions. Governor Ademola Adeleke even while on vacation is ensuring coordinated focus and constant networking within government

OPINION: Of NJC, JUSUN And Osun Chief Judge | By Israel Erasmus Impartial watchers of Osun judicial space must be having an interesting manifestation of facts and reality of recent controversies. The public now knows the real issue. The masquerade is unveiled. The real actors now are the judicial workers who petitioned the Chief Judge before the ubiquitous National Judicial Council. Those initial figures and institutions such as the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke and the State House of Assembly are now out of the picture. Beyond exposing corruption , the House of Assembly has stepped aside. The Governor beside forwarding the House resolution to the NJC has taken the back seat. Those fringe actors have left the limelight for the real dramatis personae. The nation now focuses on the petitioners , the Judicial Workers Union, which listed several grievous violations and infractions against the Chief judge. The workers picketed the Chief Judge’s office, setting off a chain reaction. Accord
