Adeleke Accuses APC of Hijacking ₦300bn in LG Funds; APC Denies Claims

Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke says APC officials diverted nearly ₦300 billion meant for local councils and pensioners. He claims his administration has had to fund local teachers, health workers and retirees for over a year to prevent a collapse of grassroots services. The APC counters that Adeleke himself blocked the release of electronic salary vouchers and pension documents. The party insists funds are available and blames the governor for stalling payments to discredit reinstated council officials. The dispute has stalled local projects and raised concerns about growing hardship in communities across the state.

How do you think diverting those local council funds could affect grassroots services and public trust in the state government?

Absolutely. Misallocating council funds will weaken basic services and deepen public skepticism toward government intentions.

Even if the APC denies it, ₦300 billion is a huge amount to disappear without any clear audit trail.

I'm not convinced that Adeleke's team hasn't benefited in some way; political finger-pointing happens on both sides.

Local communities could demand independent audits and regular budget updates to ensure transparency and proper use of council funds.
