Osun Governor Adeleke Rejects Calls For Emergency Rule Amid LG Crisis.

Published

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has rejected calls for a state of emergency in the state, describing them as politically motivated attempts to destabilize governance rather than address any real security threat.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement on Saturday, his spokesperson Olawale Rasheed said the demand, reportedly from unnamed civil society groups, is linked to ongoing disputes over local government control and management. Adeleke accused opposition leaders, particularly from the APC, of attempting to provoke tension at the grassroots level, including forcibly occupying council offices and obstructing local government funds.

“The call for a state of emergency is not grounded in law or fact. Osun remains peaceful, and the government is fully in control,” the statement read. Adeleke noted that the local government crisis stems from former officials refusing to vacate office after their tenure expired, describing such acts as illegal.

The governor praised his administration’s handling of the situation through lawful means, engagement with security agencies, and intervention to ensure local government workers were paid despite blocked council funds.

He warned against further attempts to incite violence, revealing that security agencies have been put on alert and directing the Commissioner of Police to prevent any breakdown of law and order. Adeleke also appealed to the President and the Inspector-General of Police to monitor developments, emphasizing that political ambitions must be pursued through legal democratic channels.

The call for a state of emergency came after two civil society groups—Initiative for Local Government Development and Centre for Justice and Community Advocacy—accused the state government of defying court orders on local government administration, citing ongoing impasse and potential crises as justification.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
