Osun Governor Rejects Emergency Rule Amid Local Government Dispute
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has dismissed calls for a state of emergency in Osun State, attributing them to political motives aimed at destabilizing the state. The dispute revolves around the management and control of local government councils, with Adeleke accusing the opposition, particularly the Progress Congress (APC), of orchestrating actions to provoke tensions at the grassroots level.
The governor alleges that the opposition's actions have led to unrest and necessitated external intervention, despite his administration's efforts to maintain peace and adhere to the rule of law. Adeleke highlights instances of alleged illegalities, such as attempts to extend the tenures of former local government officials, leading to financial mismanagement and worker salary delays.
The governor warns against incitement to violence and assures reliance on legal processes to address the crisis.
