Oyinlola Raises Alarm Over Pressure on Governor Adeleke

Olagunsoyi Oyinlola, the former governor of Osun State, disclosed that the current governor, Adeleke, broke down in tears due to the overwhelming pressure from presidential expectations. During an appearance on Arise Television, Oyinlola addressed the unbearable weight of political pressure that leaders are facing, particularly within the ruling party.

He expressed concern over a worrying trend where political stakeholders are defecting from the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he described as detrimental to Nigeria's democracy. Oyinlola's remarks come amid a growing debate regarding the APC's dominance and the shrinking space for opposition politics in Nigeria.

He recounted personal encounters with Adeleke, emphasizing the magnitude of the pressures that have led to the governor's emotional breakdown.
