APM-Condemns Governor Ademola Adeleke’s Installation As Asiwaju Of Ede (Details)

The Osun State chapter of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has criticized the appointment of Governor Ademola Adeleke as the Asiwaju of Ede, labeling it an abuse of power and a conflict of interest.

In a statement signed by the party’s chairman, Wale Adebayo, he expressed concern that such actions could establish a negative precedent, trigger conflicts of interest, and encourage nepotism.

Governor Adeleke is scheduled to be installed as the Asiwaju of Ede land by the Timi of Ede land, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal, as part of the celebrations for his 64th birthday.

The previous holder of the chieftaincy title was the governor’s late elder brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke. Adebayo remarked that Governor Adeleke’s acceptance of the chieftaincy title on a Monday morning raised serious questions about his priorities as the state’s leader.

“By prioritizing a ceremonial event over his official duties at the start of the workweek, Governor Adeleke is sending a troubling message that personal prestige and ceremonial honors are more important than the welfare and progress of the people he is supposed to serve,” Adebayo said.

“This action suggests a lack of urgency and commitment to addressing the pressing issues facing Osun State, and may undermine the trust and confidence of the people in his leadership. It also sets a poor example for other public officials and reinforces a culture of self-serving leadership, rather than one that prioritizes the public good.”

Adebayo urged Governor Adeleke to reconsider his decision and focus on delivering good governance and meaningful progress for the people of Osun State, rather than seeking personal honors.
