Governor Adeleke Interrupts APC Leader’s Ramadan Lecture In Iree.

The 2024 Ramadan Lecture organised by the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Adebayo Adeleke (BANIK) was nearly interrupted on Thursday, as the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke reportedly ordered that the organizer should not be given access to the venue even after taking approval from the government.

The organizing committee had earlier sought approval from the Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) and the board has subsequently conveyed the approval back to the committee through the Principal of AUD Primary School, Iree where the event was slated to hold.

However, when every arrangement had been concluded for the programme to commence on Thursday morning, the Chairman of the LCDA, Jamiu Adedokun stormed the venue with armed men directing the dismantling of the stages and canopies already erected for the event.

Adedokun said that no access would have been given to the venue at all, if he had known before, saying he had the directive of Governor Adeleke that BANIK should not be allowed to do such programme anywhere in the State .

Giving the reason for his action, the council caretaker chairman said, BANIK has always been too critical of the Adeleke’s administration in the state, “saying, he always tackles our government and making the administration uncomfortable.

“I have the directive from the Governor that this programme should not hold here and even if you have been given approval, the approval is been withdrawn now and your money will be transferred back to you”, Jamiu boasted.

The chairman of the organizing committee, recounted that in the course of the heated argument, “the LGEA woman to whom the rent was paid made a refund immediately , as the council chairman, deliberately ignored the phone call of the Chief Imam of Iree who has offered to appeal to him.

Subsequently, it took the frantic efforts of the Chief Imam of Iree, Sheik Sulaimon Adeyemo, coupled with subsequent embarrassment which government action has caused before the chairman could eventually allow the use of the venue.

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges.

What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
