  REJOINDER: THE APC’S FAMILIAR SCRIPT OF DIVISION WILL NOT BREAK OSUN CIVIL SERVICE  Olusoji Wojuade. The recent faceless publication titled _“Suffering and Smiling of Civil Service Career Progression Under Incompetence Governance”_ is not what it pretends to be. It is not a cry from within the Osun State Civil Service. It is a script written, directed, and circulated by the very people it claims to address: the All Progressives Congress, APC.  Osun people know this pattern too well. When facts fail, the APC resorts to anonymous letters, half-truths, and manufactured crises designed to sow discord among civil servants and discredit a government that is delivering. A Pattern of Sabotage, Not Reform. The article raises the issue of retired Permanent Secretaries retaining acting roles after political appointment. If this were a genuine concern for public service reform, it would have been raised openly, with facts and proposals—not hidden behind anonymity and laced with inf...

  Why Osun Needs Governor Ademola Adeleke for a Second Term - Olusola Ajala —--------------------------------------------- As the political atmosphere gradually heats up ahead of another governorship election in Osun State on August 15, 2026, conversations around the performance and future of Governor Ademola Adeleke have become more intense.  While critics continue to question aspects of his leadership style, many residents and political observers argue that the governor deserves a second term based on continuity, infrastructure renewal, workers’ welfare, and growing public confidence in governance. When Senator Ademola Adeleke assumed office in November 2022, the administration inherited a state struggling with salary arrears, pension liabilities, abandoned projects, and infrastructural deficits.  Within a relatively short period, his government moved aggressively to clear outstanding salary and pension obligations while also reviving stalled road projects across severa...

  BASELESS PETITION BY OYIGG: OSUN STATE GOVERNMENT REJECTS SPURIOUS, DEFAMATORY AND MALICIOUS ALLEGATIONS OSOGBO - 06/05/2026 - Osunstate.gov.ng  The Osun State Government has noted with utter dismay the laughable, hollow and intellectually bankrupt petition reportedly authored by a faceless and spineless group styling itself as the Osun Youths Initiative for Good Governance (OYIGG), and purportedly signed by one Dr. Adeyemi Akande, wherein a cocktail of falsehood, conjecture, malice and reckless innuendo was assembled and mischievously dressed up as a petition to anti-graft agencies. Ordinarily, the Osun State Government would not dignify such a vapid and politically contrived exercise in blackmail with a response. However, in view of the need to set the records straight and prevent the deliberate poisoning of public discourse by serial merchants of falsehood, this rejoinder has become necessary. Let it be stated in the clearest possible terms that the allegations of “multi-...

 Your Statements are Pack of Lies: Adeleke's Spox Hits Back at Omowaiye The Spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has described as "a pack of lies" the criticisms leveled against Adeleke's administration by Mr Remi Omowaiye, describing the sectoral analysis as "fraught with fake news". He faulted allegations that the state governor mismanaged state funds, citing several locally and nationally acknowledged projects and programmes on which state funds were judiciously expended on. Rasheed said Omowaiye lied by asserting that Osun has no electricity law as the law is already in operation in Osun state even as he said industrialisation is already ongoing with the revival of the Free trade zones abandoned by the last  APC government. The spokesperson also faulted attacks on the Okefia Bridge, calling the flyover in tandem with local and international engineering standards, positing however that the Olaiya bridge supervised by Omowaiye i...

  Gov Adeleke Faults Ambo-Adereti Agenda Sector by Sector ● Says Opposition Bereft of Governance Ideas OSOGBO -02/05/2026 - Osunstate.gov.ng  Osun state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has faulted the manifesto of the opposition, calling it “a warped plan incompatible with the needs and aspirations of Osun people”. Speaking shortly after attending the 2026 May Day rally at Osogbo, the governor cited each of the items on the APC manifesto as ill thought-out concoction hurriedly packaged together to deceive the people and mask the confusion within the camp of Bola Oyebamiji over governance agenda. Under economic revival, the Osun APC mentioned agro-processing zones in each senatorial district. But the Oyetola/Ambo government in their days gave less than 100m Naira per year to agriculture (Cash crops and Food Crops) between 2017 and 2022. Governor Adeleke has however invested heavily in cash crop expansion with tractorisation and seedling initiatives. Oyebamiji's fundamental th...
