Tension in Osun as APC LG Chairmen, Councillors Storm Secretariats

The chairman and council members chosen in Osun State’s October 15, 2022, local government elections have taken up residence in around 14 LGA secretariats throughout the state.
The political leaders assaulted their various local government secretariats on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at around 10 a.m., according to reports gathered.

These officials, as well as many members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), returned to work in the secretariats in Ede South, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Boripe, Oriade, Obokun, and Ila, according to The PUNCH.

The local government secretariats in Ayedire, Boripe, Iwo, and Ejigbo have also welcomed them back.

The chairmen and council members of the 14 local government secretariats started their work at 10 a.m., according to a statement provided to journalists by Jamiu Olawumi, the former Special Adviser to the Governor on Education.

He said that there haven’t been any reports of violence as of yet.

Olawumi stated: “As of 10 am, we have 14. Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Boripe, Oriade, Obokun, Ede South, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, and Ila are among them.

Boripe, Iwo, Ayedire, and Ejigbo. There was excellent security. The DSS, an armed civil defense squad, and members of the police tactical unit have all gathered around the secretariat. Although we applaud Governor Adeleke, it is insufficient.

“The thugs they brought here ought to be removed. They are in town. Moving around will allow you to view faces you haven’t seen here. They have to refrain from inciting those cults and militants to murder Osun citizens.

The fact that the verdict is enforceable dawns on them. It is recommended that the governor try to meet with the President, the Chief of Staff to the President, or the IGP. In order to realize the goal of growing Osun during his current term, he ought to accomplish that much for us.

“Even though they are from different levels of government, our chairmen and council members are willing to collaborate with him.”
