Na wah o! Wetin dey happen for Osun State? The Forum of Local Government Vice Chairmen wey dey represent APC, don comot dem mouth to call out Governor Ademola Adeleke. Dem dey demand make di governor shine eye and account for all di local government allocations wey dem receive between December 2023 and January 2025. Dem don sign di statement wey dem release, led by chairman Victor Fatoki.
According to dem, over ₦200 billion don enter di pockets of local governments since December 2022. But di governor no gree jam dem, as e talk say dis group no dey recognized by law, so wetin dem dey talk no matter. E no want waste time on person wey no get legal backing. Na serious palava be dis o!
Di deputy spokesperson of di governor, Oladele Bamiji, come chime in with warning say di APC forum dey try disrupt public order, and e go make sure say dem no cause wahala for state. E be like say dey don throw serious beef for APC side, but di vice chairmen no gree back down. Dem still dey insist say clear records show say plenty money don enter local government pockets.
Dem still talk say if you waka go places like Atakunmosa East, Ila, Ifedayo, Boluwaduro or Obokun, you go wonder where all di money dey go? Di projects wey dem dey expect no dey shine for ground, and dis one fit raise some kind serious questions about how dem dey manage money for grassroots level.
Dem dey vex, especially as di governor dey shout sey money wey federal government no gree release for 11 months no dey an issue, but di over ₦200 billion wey don already enter no get proper accounting. Na wetin dem dey find as di real gist of di matter. Governor Adeleke come talk say ‘no be today we know say dis kind forum no exist based on law.’ E dey vex say dem fit come claim say dem get any standing.
As di wahala go, di government and Osun APC dey jaga-jaga for court over who dey control local government resources, and di matter don cause serious halt for local government administration since February 2025. E be like say dem no wan gree solve dis one anytime soon. No be joke, di fight dey hot!
