PRESS STATEMENT
(16th October, 2024)
The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed a deep sorrow over the passing of Chief Ajadi Badmus, the Asiwaju of Osogbo, a distinguished educationist and community leader.

 In a statement issued today by the party's Director of Media and Information, Chief Kola Olabisi, the state chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, stated that the demise  of Chief Ajadi Badmus was sudden and shocking. 

The state APC chairman consoled the Asiwaju of Osogbo, the Ataoja of Osogbo, His Royal Majesty,  Oba Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun and Aare Tunde Badmus and  the entire Osogbo community, as well as the educational stakeholders such as the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), the Ministry of Education, and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) over the death of one of the illustrious sons of Osogboland.

 Lawal described the deceased as a pillar of the educational sector and a prominent figure in the history of the development of Osogbo.

In the words of the APC state chairman: "The verifiable contributions of the deceased to education and his commitment to his community will be remembered  till eternity.

"Chief Ajadi Badmus who had served as a principal and held significant roles in educational administration, was widely respected for his leadership and service in Osun State's academic and community affairs.

  "His loss is felt beyond the borders of Osogbo. His death is a collective loss to educators, students, and citizens of Osun State who benefited immensely from his guidance, dedication, and progressive vision for education.

"We in the APC recognize Chief Badmus’ tireless efforts as a former leader within ANCOPSS, where he championed the cause of secondary education and ensured the improvement of learning standards across the state. 

"His leadership within the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) also left an indelible mark, as he advocated for teachers' welfare and the advancement of educational policies at both the state and national levels.

"Chief Badmus was an eminent son of Osogbo, and his contributions to his hometown were immense. 

"We extend our  condolences to His Royal Majesty, the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun, under whose leadership Chief Badmus contributed significantly to the peace and development of the community. 

"His loss will be deeply felt within the palace and throughout the Osogbo traditional council," Sooko Lawal stated.

The Osun APC also extended its sympathy to the Ministry of Education and other educational institutions that Chief Ajadi Badmus was affiliated with during his long career.

"His dedication to improving education in Osun State left an enduring legacy. "He was an educator of excellence, a mentor to many, and an advocate for continuous learning and development," Sooko Lawal reflected.

He prayed that Almighty God will grant the family of Chief Ajadi Badmus, his friends and other dependants the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

"May Chief Ajadi Badmus’ soul continue to rest in perfect peace", Lawal prayed.

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. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. 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 ...
