In a recently surfaced video, Oluwo claimed he played a key role in securing Ogunwusi’s enthronement, revealing that he directly intervened in a legal hurdle that could have delayed the process.

“As a friend, I reached out to Tunji Ogunwusi to assist him in becoming Ooni, but he underestimated me,” he said.

“He told me his main concern was a court case challenging his appointment, and I assured him he was already a king. I immediately called the person in charge, and the case was resolved on Friday—by Saturday, he was crowned Ooni. This was even before I became Oluwo.”

However, Oluwo alleged that Ogunwusi has since turned against him, orchestrating his suspension from the Osun State Council of Obas and working against his leadership in Iwoland.

“He is using some kings in my domain to destabilize my territory,” he said.

“Last month, in the presence of Governor Ademola Adeleke, he accused me of discouraging idol worship. He was also involved in using my former wife against me.”

Akanbi further claimed that the Ooni is determined to have him removed as Oluwo but insisted such an effort would fail.

“No one can remove me as Oluwo, kill me, or bring me down—unless I never helped him become the Ooni,” he declared.

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.

The notice of curfew conveyed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Hon. Kolapo Alimi reads as follows:

This is to inform the public that the attention of the Osun state government has been drawn to the communal clash on land dispute between Ilobu and Ifon Communities.

Based on this, Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed that Curfew begins immediately in the two local governments: Orolu and Irepodun local governments.

The Curfew will start between the hours of 8pm every night, and 6am in the morning. Human and vehicular movement is hereby restricted during the curfew till further notice.

This is to forestall attempts of destruction of lives and properties during this period, because of the land dispute.

Anyone caught wandering or moving around in Irepodun and Orolu local governments during the curfew period will be arrested and prosecuted appropriately.

Governor Ademola Adeleke sued for peace between these two local governments, and asked that the ethos of Peace, Love and Unity which the state is known for, be imbibed.

Adeleke, during his inauguration on Sunday, November 27, 2022, reversed the name of the state from “State of Osun” to “Osun State” and also reversed its appellation from “The State of the Virtues” to ‘The State of the Living Spring”.

Adeleke also reversed all appointments made by the immediate past governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, effective from July 7, 2022.

He also ordered that all government bank accounts be frozen, adding that all actions of the Oyetola-led administration from July 17 will be revisited.

In a reaction to the governor’s decision, the House, through the Chairman, House Committee on Media and Publicity, Moshood Kunle Akande, wrote a press statement dated Monday, November 28, 2022, to dispel the action, it partly read, “The State of Osun House of Assembly having reviewed the inaugural speech of the Governor and the activities of the inauguration hereby resolves as follows;

“The usage of the State Anthem, Crest and Flag is an enactment of the law and as such, its usage is a matter of law and not choice.

“The enactment ‘State of Osun Anthem, Crest and Flag Law, 2012’ assented to on December 18, 2012, contained in Schedule 1, II, III, IV and V, which carefully details every component of this law is not in ambiguity.

“Schedule I is the State Anthem, Schedule II has to do with the State Crest, and Schedule III is the symbolic significance of the elements in the Flag.

“Lastly, while we are aware of a court judgment in effect recognising ‘Osun State’, the Assembly, pending the determination and exhaustion of all legal means would not be drawn into this matter.”

The lawmakers further said that the state will continue to be described as the “State of Osun” and “Ipinle Omulabi” (State of the Virtuous).
