Osun Gov Adeleke Leads Aides On Visit To APC Chieftain, Akande

By Ayodele Oni

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Tuesday visited the Ibadan, Oyo state residence of former Governor of the State, and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief Bisi Akande.

On the Governor’s were the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adewale Egbetokun; his commissioner for Information and Orientation,  Kolapo Alimi, Chief Press Secretary, Olawale Rasheed.The reason for the visit was not made public

Adeleke’s State has been under tension in the past few weeks over the return of Local Government Chairmen and Councilors by the judgement of Appeal Court.

The situation created tension leading to the death of some party loyalists on both the side of the All Progressive Congress and that of the Governor’s Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

It is being rumoured that the Governor was in Ibadan to seek political solution to the lingering logjam, and possibly lobby Akande for soft landing from President Bola Tinubu.

Adeleke’s Government had, against the warnings of the Federal Government last week, conducted another local government election, which the APC boycotted.

However, at the swearing in of the PDP chairmen, the governor instructed that they should not go to their respective Local Government offices to avert another round of crisis.

Those Local Government Chairmen returned by the Court of Appeal,who are members of the APC, have since been reporting at their respective local government Secretariat.
