The attention of Osun state Government has been drawn to a recent misleading online media report whimsically titled *Osun: Adeleke pardons suspected murderer who confessed to slitting friend's throat for money ritual* . The said speculative online report was not only fake, jaundiced and misleading but totally out of place with the existing reality, as it can also be at best be ascribed to a grandiose mischief to paint the person and government of Senator Ademola Adeleke in bad light .

The action taken by Mr Governor in this regard in line with his official position as the Chief Security of Osun State, was sequel to a letter referenced OSCHQ.1C/,VOL.XIV/393, dated 25th Sept. 2025 which was ...

The Osun State House of Assembly has issued a stern warning to commercial banks in the State, particularly the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Osogbo Branch, against honouring unauthorised financial instructions on Local Government accounts. In a letter personally signed by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adewale Egbedun, the House drew attention to unlawful financial directives allegedly issued in some Local Governments, including Boluwaduro Local Government, authorising deductions of up to 15 percent of September 2025 allocations in favour of private individuals. The Speaker described such actions as illegal, unconstitutional, and without any budgetary approval, stressing that Treasurers are not legally recognised signatories to Local Government accounts under extant laws. The House reaffirmed that only the Local Government Chairman and the Director of Administration and General Services, both officers of the Local Government Service Commission, are duly empowered to operate such...

Governor Ademola Adeleke has congratulated Nigerians on the 65th Independence anniversary of the country even as he harped on observance of the rule of law and national reform for true federalism. In a statement issued to mark Independence Day, Governor Adeleke described today's celebration as a critical point to assess the state of national constitutional democracy, the rule of law and delivery of good governance. While applauding the progress recorded so far by Nigeria since her Independence, the state governor emphasized the need to jealously guide and protect the foundation of national governance through full compliance with the constitution and respect for the rule of law. “We have made progress but we can move faster and better. We have recorded a lot of progress but we should continue to protect the foundation of our national existence, the constitution and its interpretation by a truly independent judiciary. “We must in totality ensure compliance with the rule o...
