Osun Grassroots Media Team Commends Chief of Staff, Describes Him as a Leader of Impact

OSOGBO— 30/04/2026

Osun Grassroots Media Team ,popularly known as Aseyori Imole Osun, has commended the Chief of Staff to the Executive Governor of Osun State, Alhaji Kazeem Kolapo Akinleye, for his consistent grassroots-focused leadership and coordination efforts aimed at ensuring that the dividends of the Imole Administration are felt across communities in the state.

In a statement made available to journalists in Osogbo, the group described Alhaji Akinleye as a dedicated public servant whose political experience, administrative competence, and understanding of local realities have continued to strengthen the delivery of government programmes at the grassroots.

The group noted that, as a former Chairman of Ede North Local Government and a grassroots politician with a proven record in public service and entrepreneurship, Alhaji Akinleye has remained committed to bridging the gap between government policies and the everyday needs of the people.

“Alhaji Akinleye has shown, through his approach to leadership, that governance must be people-centered. His continuous engagement with communities and stakeholders reflects a genuine commitment to ensuring that the Imole Administration touches lives, especially at the local level,” the statement read.

Osun Grassroots Media Team further praised the Chief of Staff for his role in supporting the Governor’s governance agenda through effective coordination, timely interventions, and inclusive stakeholder engagement. According to the group, this has contributed to improved responsiveness in government and strengthened public confidence in the administration’s priorities.

The media group also referenced ongoing political developments around local governance, noting that despite tensions and attempts by opposition elements to disrupt local administration processes, the state leadership has remained focused on protecting democratic institutions and ensuring that governance remains stable and beneficial to the people.

“We acknowledge the resilience and strategic leadership demonstrated by the Chief of Staff and the state executive team in ensuring that governance at the grassroots is not derailed. The people deserve continuity, peace, and access to services that improve their quality of life,” the group added.

Osun Grassroots Media Team revealed that it has received credible indications that a major grassroots-oriented initiative is underway and is expected to significantly improve the well-being of residents across local communities. The group expressed confidence that the Chief of Staff will continue to ensure that such interventions are delivered transparently and that the benefits reach the most vulnerable, including the underserved and less privileged.

“We have it on good authority that a significant development is imminent at the local government level; one that will positively impact the lives of many. We are encouraged by the Chief of Staff’s commitment to ensuring that such benefits reach those who truly need them,” the statement concluded.

The group urged all residents and stakeholders to continue supporting the Imole Administration’s efforts, while calling for unity, peaceful engagement, and constructive participation in the collective drive for sustainable development across Osun State.

Present Your Agenda to the People of Osun and Stop Subjecting Them to Political Trauma: A Demand to the Osun APC

By. Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq.

On April 7, 2026, the Osun APC unveiled what is rapidly proving to be one of the most rudderless, uninspiring, incompetent, and catastrophic campaign committees in recent political memory, as widely described by public opinion across Osun State. About 20 days after its inauguration, not a single coherent agenda has been presented to the people by this intellectually challenged committee. No manifesto. No policy direction. No vision. No alternative roadmap. Nothing. Just a desperate, naked obsession with power for power’s sake.

This is the tragedy of it all. A party seeking a return to government after rejection at the polls ought to have learnt humility. It ought to have returned to the people with ideas, with remorse, and with solutions. Instead, Osun APC has returned with noise, propaganda, and recycled political actors who seem to believe that shouting slogans is a substitute for substance, behaving like professional loose cannons.

Let this be made clear to the campaign committee and Osun APC. Opposition is not a theatre of empty attacks. It is a platform to present a superior alternative. Serious political actors do not ask for power on entitlement. They earn it through vision. They give their mission a name. They define a governing philosophy. They persuade the people with concrete plans. But what has Osun APC offered? Confusion packaged as politics. Ambition without responsibility. Criticism without credibility.

Alas, their record is their greatest burden. Their past performance is a heavy political liability. Their stewardship stands as a strong indictment. Their history in office remains a major obstacle to their credibility.

Across Osun, ordinary people still remember. Market women remember. Civil servants remember. Pensioners remember. Youths struggling to build a future remember. The mere mention of APC does not stir hope; it awakens painful memories of hardship, policy failures, delayed salaries, economic suffocation, and a government that too often appeared indifferent to the suffering of its own people.

For many families, that era was not governance. It was endurance. Workers were pushed into uncertainty. Pensioners were treated as afterthoughts. Households were plunged into avoidable hardship. Local economies groaned under poor management. The scars of that period are not things propaganda can erase or revisionist politics can rewrite. In truth, it was a period of systemic failure and widespread distress.

What makes the current APC posturing even more insulting is that those who presided over those failures now parade themselves as if they owe the people no explanation. They seek power without apology. They demand trust without accountability. They ask the people to forget history while offering no evidence that they have changed. This is political arrogance at its peak.

The people of Osun are asking simple but devastating questions. What exactly is the APC agenda? What is their economic plan? What new ideas are they bringing? What lessons have they learnt from their failures? Why should the people trust those they once rejected? To date, Osun APC has answered none.

Every public outing without answers only reinforces public suspicion and reopens the painful memories of what the people endured in the past. Every press statement without substance deepens skepticism. Every attempt to chase power without vision only reminds the people why they sent APC into opposition in the first place.

So the message to Osun APC is direct and uncompromising. Present your agenda. Show your blueprint. Account for your past. Explain why Osun should trust you again.

And until the APC can do that, they should stop subjecting the people of Osun to the haunting echoes of a failed past they have already rejected.

Perhaps this humble counsel may yet cure the strange ailment afflicting the APC campaign committee, a condition best described as “Chronic Cerebral Anaemia.”
