Osun APC Challenges Governor Adeleke's Claims on Local Government Allocations

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized Governor Ademola Adeleke's recent broadcast, disputing his assertions regarding local government allocations. The APC accuses the governor of misrepresenting facts surrounding the administration of federal allocations to local governments.

The party's chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, highlighted legal disputes over the tenure of council officials, emphasizing a court judgment nullifying earlier removal processes. The ongoing conflict involves allegations of fund withholding by the federal government meant for Osun State's local councils, leading to a deadlock in fund disbursement.

Governor Adeleke's demand for the release of withheld funds has sparked a public war of words between rival chairmen of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) in Osun State, with conflicting statements released to the media.
