Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has alleged that the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, is planning to cause chaos in the state from Monday, February 17, 2025<\/p>\n
Addressing the press on Sunday, Adeleke claimed Oyetola was spearheading moves to enforce an alleged court order which reversed the sack of local council chairpersons elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun.<\/p>\n
He also claimed the minister was conniving with several law enforcement agents, including the State Commissioner of Police and the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), to destabilise the state.<\/p>\n
Adeleke said: \u201cI called this press conference to alert the national and global audience about a deliberate plot to create chaos and anarchy in Osun State.<\/p>\n
\u201cI invite you all to expose a fascist anti-democratic agenda designed to enforce a non-existing court judgment on our local governments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore 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.”<\/p>\n
The governor said he believed President Bola Tinubu would not authorise a dictatorial violation of the constitution irrespective of who was involved.<\/p>\n
Adeleke added: \u201cI, 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is issuing illegal directives to security operatives to enforce illegality simply because he is the nephew of Mr. President.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adeleke noted that the said council chairmen were sacked before he was sworn in as governor of Osun State, contrary to the claims that the chairmen and councilors were sacked by his executive order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
