From Lateef Dada, Osogbo
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has vowed that he would take the Local Government back and keep them running.
Adeleke who spoke at a reception organised for him by his party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in Osogbo, on Thursday, said, “I am back to continue the good work after a short vacation. We must sustain good governance. We must sustain the tempo. The good work must continue. Osun people are with us. God is with us. We shall overcome the Pharaohs facing us. We will get our local government back and running.

“They want to hold Osun down. They are shocked with our delivery and transformation of Osun; They want to keep Osun from developing. Will you allow them?
He urged party members to start mobilization and get their voter card updated in the ongoing registration exercise.
“Start mobilisation again. Get your voter card updated. Mobilise your people for the exercise. Talk to your neighbours, families and friends. Show them our good work across sectors. Osun shall never go back to the past,” Adeleke said.
The chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Sunday Bisi, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not win one local government in the 2026 governorship election in the state.
“Oyetola is presenting those that are not electable for 2026 guber race. When my friend, Omisore declared his intention to run, I was surprised. He has been contesting since 1990s, when Dotun Babayemi was in secondary. If all of them make themselves one, we will defeat them in landslide victory. They won’t have one local government,” Bisi said.
The Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Wale Egbedun, assured Adeleke of Osun central support, noting that all members of the state assembly are intact in the PDP.
He said, “Those that defected to their party could not come home again because people are opposed to them. If the party gives you N10,000 you would have suffered N10 million. We are solidly behind Adeleke in Osun Central,” Egbedun said.
The former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yusuf, expressed displeasure over continuous seizure of local government allocation, saying “nobody has constitutional right to seize federal, state or local government money.”
