● Says Opposition Bereft of Governance Ideas Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has faulted the manifesto of the opposition, calling it “a warped plan incompatible with the needs and aspirations of Osun people”. Speaking shortly after attending the 2026 May Day rally at Osogbo, the governor cited each of the items on the APC manifesto as ill thought-out concoction hurriedly packaged together to deceive the people and mask the confusion within the camp of Bola Oyebamiji over governance agenda. Under economic revival, the Osun APC mentioned agro-processing zones in each senatorial district. But the Oyetola/Ambo government in their days gave less than 100m Naira per year to agriculture (Cash crops and Food Crops) between 2017 and 2022. Governor Adeleke has however invested heavily in cash crop expansion with tractorisation and seedling initiatives. Oyebamiji's fundamental thought is warped because you can not have processing value when you don’t have agricultural...

The attention of the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has been drawn to a frivolous, unfounded and unthinking social media post, that the State government led by Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has sold the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park. The assertion is not only ridiculous, it is also barbaric. It is indeed the figment of imagination of the enemy of Osun State, who have failed in their many attempts to blackmail, malign and disrepute the personality and good governance of the State Governor, especially in the economic sector.  The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) with no blueprint, agenda or ideas about effective governance should, ordinarily be ignored but this is to set the record straight, once and for all. The Nelson Mandela Freedom Park sits on the landed property of Federal Government, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), but developed by the government of Osun State under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesol...

The Chairman of the Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has responded fiercely to recent criticisms from the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the opposition party as a “noisome barrel” that thrives on propaganda and political stalking. In a strongly worded statement on Thursday, the labour leader dismissed claims that he lives in hotels and moves around with armed guards, insisting such allegations could only come from those trailing his movements. He accused the APC of political shadowing, saying: “You could only know my whereabouts and routines if I were being watched and tailed around all the time. I don’t believe people are stalked because they are expected to win a lottery. This is clear political hounding.” Reacting to insinuations about his personal life, the NLC Chair refuted suggestions of “frolicking with women of easy virtues,” stressing that not everyone shares the “everyday customs” of APC members. He also questioned why public pl...
