By Comrade Samakin Abdul-Jeleel Abiodun If the All Progressives Congress (APC) has chosen to forget, Osun people will not. We remember vividly the years of maladministration, mismanagement, and inept leadership that characterized their rule. The records remain open, a painful reminder of how the APC, under the leadership of former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, plunged Osun State into economic setbacks and developmental stagnation.

Unity in corruption, in deceit, or in failure? The people of Osun deserve sincerity, not staged drama. It is insulting that those who left behind unpaid salaries, abandoned projects, and a mountain of debts now seek to rewrite history through political jamborees. A party that should be on its knees seeking forgiveness...

Date: October 25, 2025 Gentlemen of the Press, My attention has been drawn to some misleading reports published by a few national dailies and online media outlets following my appearance on Oroki Àsàlá, a current affairs programme aired on Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC) a few weeks ago. Ordinarily, I would have ignored such publications, but it has become necessary to correct the wrong impressions being circulated about what I said during that programme. For the avoidance of doubt, the discussion I was invited to was centred mainly on the Aro in Osogbo and its cultural significance. Towards the end of the programme, I was asked a single question about whether it is possible for Osogbo to support any who indigine who wanted to contest for post in any political parties ?. In my response, I made it clear that if there is a capable and suitable candidate from Osogbo, our people might support such a person. However, as of now, there is no party that have chosen or se...
