Governor Osun State Nurudeen Adeleke has condemned the continued occupation of local government secretariats by All Progressives Congress chairmen and councillors, describing their self-awarded tenure extension as illegal and unconstitutional. To further emphasise his point, the governor said the APC officials approached the Federal High Court seeking an extension of their expired tenure. “Assuming, without conceding, that the APC chairmen and councillors had any tenure, the tenure expired on October 22, 2025. “In Osun State, it seems that the APC chairmen and councillors, whose so-called tenure have expired, are above the law,” he said. He said he has written to the heads of relevant federal security agencies regarding actions that threaten peace and order in Osun State.
