Osun LG Crisis: Adeleke Orders APC Officials Out Of Council Secretariats.
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed former chairmen and councillors elected on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform to immediately vacate all local government secretariats across the state, describing their continued presence as illegal and in contempt of existing court rulings.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The governor issued the order in a statewide broadcast on Monday, stressing that the officials no longer have any legal authority to occupy the offices following their removal through judicial processes.
Governor Adeleke recalled that the Federal High Court in Osogbo nullified the APC-conducted local government elections of November 2022. The ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeal on February 10 and reaffirmed on June 13, 2025, leaving no doubt about the legal status of the APC-elected officials.
“The former chairmen and councillors have no legal backing to remain in office, having been removed through valid court rulings,” Adeleke said.
He added that, in compliance with the court judgments, the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission conducted fresh local government elections on February 22, 2025. The newly elected chairmen and councillors were sworn in the following day and remain the only lawful occupants of local government secretariats in the state.
“These duly elected officials are the only legitimate authorities at the local government level in Osun State,” the governor emphasized.
Adeleke further noted that even the former APC officials had acknowledged in court that their tenure expired in October 2025. Their recent attempts to extend their tenure, he said, only highlight that they no longer have a lawful mandate to govern.
“Their actions amount to a clear admission that they have no legal standing to occupy the offices,” he said.
The governor accused the ex-APC officials of forcibly occupying local government secretariats with the alleged support of armed police personnel reportedly acting on the instructions of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola. He also condemned reports of local government workers being harassed or assaulted while trying to resume duties.
“Any act of intimidation or harassment of workers is unacceptable, constitutes abuse of power, and poses a serious threat to democratic governance,” Adeleke warned.
Assuring residents of Osun State, the governor urged calm and promised that his administration would uphold court judgments, restore legality at the grassroots, and protect citizens’ rights and safety.
“Our government will not tolerate lawlessness. We will enforce the rule of law, restore order at the local government level, and ensure the safety of our people,” he said.
Adeleke added that the directive is part of efforts to safeguard democratic institutions and ensure governance at the grassroots operates strictly within the law.
