Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun, has alleged that Adegboyega Oyetola, his predecessor, plans to cause mayhem in the state starting from Monday.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Adeleke asked
President Bola Tinubu to rein in Oyetola, whom he referred to as Tinubu’s
nephew.
Oyetola is the minister of marine and blue economy.
Adeleke alleged that the minister is spearheading moves to
enforce a court order that reversed the sack of local council chairmen elected
on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
He added that the people would not hesitate to protect themselves if the minister was not called to order in his bid to wield political power.
Adeleke further alleged that Oyetola is conspiring 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.
“I called this press conference to alert the national and
global audience about a deliberate plot to create chaos and anarchy in Osun
state,” he said.
“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.
“Let me make it clear that the said council chairmen were
sacked before I was sworn in as governor of Osun state, contrary to the lies
being peddled, that the chairmen and councilors were sacked by my executive
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.
