20 LG staff die within 11 months strike in Osun

4th January 2026
The association of concerned local government workers in Osun State has disclosed that 20 staff lost their lives during the 11-month strike as a result of ailment and lack of social interaction. 

Assuring that the list of the dead staff shall be made public in no distant time, the state chairman of the group, Adekunle Adedayo, disclosed this in Osogbo, on Sunday, during a press conference jointly addressed with the secretary, Akin Adepoju.
“With total humility and sense of purpose, our association welcomes a fractional striking executives and staff back to the local government after 11 month of needless and politically motivated strike.

“We could recall the Ogungbangbe’s led executives deliberately put the whole Osun Local Government into strike based on security reason to ensuring safety of lives which was later found out that he only volunteered himself to be used as a tool in the hands of politicians in which he was handsomely paid for the job done.

“Lo and behold, almost 20 staff lost their lives during these concocted strike due to one ailment or the other or lack of social interaction. The list of the dead staff shall be made public in no distant time,” the group said.

Noting that the group has been working with the legally reinstated political functionaries at various Local Government areas, the group appreciated security agencies in the state for securing lives and property of their teaming members, saying your level of commitment to duty and total adherence to implementation of lawful judgment of competent court of jurisdiction is highly commendable.

“We, concerned association are bringing to the hearing of the political functionaries headed by the executive chairman in different council areas that on no condition should any staff of Osun State Local Governments parade him or herself as NUGLE branch executives due to the fact that their constitutional tenure has expired since month of May, 2025 and three months constitutional provision has also expired. Therefore, preparation for the vacant positions should begin as demanded by our union constitution

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.

It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
