RE: ALLEGED PLOT TO UNDERMINE ELECTORAL INTEGRITY IN OSUN STATE

Image
The Osun Grassroot Movement (OGM) has received credible intelligence regarding a calculated and clandestine plot by elements within the All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the forthcoming electoral process in Osun State.  Central to these disturbing developments is the reported transfer of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Mutiu Agboke, alongside alleged moves to deploy compromised electoral mechanisms to Osun state aimed at subverting the will of the people. We view these actions as a direct affront to democracy and a dangerous attempt to disenfranchise the good people of Osun State through backdoor tactics and institutional compromise. Such maneuvers, if left unchecked, pose a grave threat to peace, stability, and democratic consolidation in the state. The Osun Grassroot Movement hereby issues a firm and unequivocal warning to APC gladiators and their collaborators.  Osun State is not a theatre for electoral manipulation. Any attempt to rig, dist...

Osun 2026 Political Map is Firmly in Favour of Adeleke, Adeleke Campaign Organisation Replies Wole Oke, Osun APC

Image
The Osun APC campaign organisation alongside its Director General, Wole Oke are living in the old world as Osun 2026 political map is fully and firmly in favour of Governor Ademola Adeleke and his party, Accord with old APC bases now Accord strongholds. The Adeleke Campaign Organisation made the assertion while refuting statements credited to Hon. Wole Oke who claimed that since the governor won with only 28,000 in 2022 and since he and others had since defected, the APC will win the state in August. Describing the postulations as mere fantasy without grounding in reality, the governor's campaign group said the Osun political map across the nine federal constituencies have shifted significantly from the 2022 allegiance pattern, predicting that the governor will win the August election with a margin of over 200,000 votes. While slamming Oke for his anti-party activities against Governor Adeleke in the 2022 polls, the governor's campaign group declared that the exit o...

Between Results and Rhetoric: Why Osun Voters Are Rallying Behind Adeleke

Image
By Comrade Samakin Abdul-Jeleel Abbiodun  As the countdown to the 2026 governorship election in Osun State gathers momentum, the political atmosphere is tilting to favor Governor Ademola Adeleke. On one side stands the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party many people describe as increasingly defined by noise, attacks, and recycled narratives of peddling falsehoods. On the other side is the administration of Ademola Adeleke; an administration widely regarded by good people of Osun as people-focused, transparent, and development-driven. Over the past three years, the APC’s political strategy has largely revolved around criticism, misinformation and personal attacks rather than presenting a clear, actionable agenda for the future of Osun State. Public engagements by its leaders often echo the same pattern; condemnation without constructive alternatives. For a party seeking to regain public trust, this absence of a compelling vision raises serious concerns about its rea...

Living Trust Mortgage Bank: What Oyebamiji owes Osun people?

Image
By Sarafa Ibrahim In 1993, Osun did the unthinkable. It was only two years after it was carved out of Oyo state yet, it was able to raise hopes for the future. That was what the decision to incorporate a financial company, the Osun Building Society Limited, clearly portrayed. The company was established to provide mortgage banking services, mortgage financing, real estate construction financing and general financial services. It was a bold and futuristic step, and interestingly, was taken under the administration of the first Executive Governor of Osun State, late Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke. That kick-started a journey that not just spotlight the financial identity for Osun state but also a strategic investments for the benefits of all.  But all of that is gone now and the reason for this is in a 2019 deal that put the controlling shares of the state in the financial company in jeopardy. The administration of Gboyega Oyetola sold-off a significant amount of shares ...
