'Oyetola planning evil in Osun state' - Gov Adeleke tells Pres. Tinubu

6 days ago 31

Osun state governor, Ademola Adeleke has accused predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola of planning to destabilize the state. 

Oyetola who lost the 2022 guber polls to Adeleke is currently the nation’s minister of marine and blue economy.

In a world press conference on Sunday, Adeleke accused Oyetola of attempting to influence the return to office of sacked council chairmen.

Adeleke claimed Oyetola is using his status as President Tinubu’s nephew to foment chaos in the state. 

The governor accused the minister of working in cahoots with the Osun state Commissioner of Police, the Osun state Director of DSS and the State Commandant of the Civil Defense Corps.

Gov. Adeleke also expressed his belief that President Tinubu, whom he described as “a lover of rule of law”, is unaware of his nephew’s moves. 

A section of Governor Adeleke’s press conference read thus,

I called this press conference to alert the national and global audience about a deliberate plot to create chaos and anarchy in Osun state. I invite you all to expose a fascist anti-democratic agenda designed to enforce a non-existing court judgment on our local governments. This evil plot is being spearheaded by the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy,  Mr Gboyega Oyetola in active collaboration with the Osun state Commissioner of Police, the Osun state Director of DSS and the State Commandant of the Civil Defense Corps. 

Before I continue this address, let me affirm that I know Mr. President to be a true democrat, a lover of rule of law, and a believer in the sanctity of the judicial process. I know, as a matter of fact, that Mr. President will never authorise a dictatorial violation of the constitution irrespective of who is involved. It is crucial to add that Mr. President will never support any action that is capable of generating bloodbath and bloodshed.

I, however, regret to inform Mr. President and the public that Mr Gboyega Oyetola has concluded an arrangement to cause mayhem in Osun state starting from Monday. He is issuing illegal directives to security operatives to enforce illegality simply because he is the nephew of Mr. President. I chose to alert the nation before my people are killed or maimed by a minister  dropping the name of Mr. President in connivance with the Osun state security operatives obeying unlawful orders.

The bone of contention is the brazen effrontery to return to office council chairmen sacked  by a subsisting court Judgment using a different court decision, which has no consequential order.

Adeleke urged Tinubu to direct Nuhu Ribadu, national security adviser (NSA), and Lateef Fagbemi, attorney general of the federation (AGF), to verify the court order regarding the LG council.

The governor called on President Tinubu to intervene in the matter while also asking the Nigerian public to hold Oyetola responsible for any breakdown of law and order in Osun state in the near future.
