Governor Adeleke Accuses Former Osun Governor Oyetola Of Planning To Cause Mayhem In Osun
HE Ademola Adeleke, the executive governor of Osun State, has accused his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola, the Nigerian Minister of Marine and Blue Economy of planning to wreak havoc in the state from Monday, February 17, 2025.
Adeleke, who addressed a press conference on Sunday, made the allegations against the former governor of leading efforts that will enforce a ruling of a court that will upturn the dismissal of All Progressives Congress (APC) local council chairmen.
He went further to allege that Oyetola is partnering with law enforcement agencies, including the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the State Commissioner of Police, to destabilize Osun State.
Adeleke said: “I called this press conference to alert the national and global audience about a deliberate plot to create chaos and anarchy in Osun State.
“I invite you all to expose a fascist, anti-democratic agenda designed to enforce a non-existing court judgment on our local governments.
“This evil plot is being spearheaded by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, in active collaboration with the Osun State Commissioner of Police, the Osun State Director of DSS, and the State Commandant of the Civil Defense Corps.
“Before I continue this address, let me affirm that I know Mr. President to be a true democrat, a lover of rule of law, and a believer in the sanctity of the judicial process.
“I, however, regret to inform Mr. President and the public that Mr. Gboyega Oyetola has concluded an arrangement to cause mayhem in Osun State starting from Monday.
“He is issuing illegal directives to security operatives to enforce illegality simply because he is the nephew of Mr. President.
“I chose to alert the nation before my people are killed or maimed by a minister dropping the name of Mr. President in connivance with the Osun State security operatives obeying unlawful orders.
“The bone of contention is the brazen effrontery to return to office council chairmen sacked by a subsisting court judgment using a different court decision, which has no consequential order.
“Let me make it clear that the said council chairmen were sacked before I was sworn in as governor of Osun State, contrary to the lies being peddled that the chairmen and councilors were sacked by my executive order.”
