Governor Ademola Adeleke has raised alarm over an alleged plot to cause chaos and violence in Osun State.
Adeleke claims that a former governor and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, is masterminding the plot.
According to Adeleke, Oyetola is working in cahoots with security agencies to enforce a non-existent court judgment regarding the state’s local government administration. The governor alleges that this plot aims to reinstate local government chairmen and councillors who were sacked by a subsisting court ruling.
Adeleke maintains that he had no hand in the sacking of these officials, who were removed by two separate judgments of the Federal High Court in Osogbo before he took office. The governor has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene and prevent the alleged plot from unfolding.
“I urge Mr. President to instruct the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of DSS, and the Commandant General of the Civil Defense Corps not to obey any illegal orders from Oyetola,” Adeleke said.
The governor warns that if this plot is allowed to succeed, it could lead to widespread violence and mayhem in the state, putting the lives of innocent citizens at risk. The Osun State government has vowed to take all necessary measures to prevent this alleged plot from unfolding and to maintain peace and order in the state.
