Tinubu Govt Withholds ₦131.5bn Osun LG Funds for 10 Months Despite Supreme Court Ruling The Tinubu-led Federal Government has allegedly withheld ₦131.5 billion in local government allocations meant for Osun State for 10 months, despite a Supreme Court ruling declaring such action unlawful. A review of FAAC data from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation shows that the unpaid funds cover the period from March to December 2025. The money was meant for Osun’s local governments to provide basic services at the grassroots. Observers say the continued withholding of the funds has crippled local governance and raises serious concerns about respect for the rule of law. How long will court judgments be ignored while citizens suffer? 🇳🇬🤔 #OsunState #Tinubu #FAAC #LocalGovernmentFunds #RuleOfLaw #NigeriaPolitics #Injustice

Osun State Government Condemns ‘Baseless’ Arrest and Humiliation of Elderly PHC Officer in Egbedore Local Government, Clarifies Retirement File Retrieval Incident Amid Viral Police Photos The Osun State government has strongly condemned the arrest and humiliating treatment of an elderly Administrative Officer attached to a Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Egbedore Local Government Area after viral photographs showed him kneeling in police custody. According to a statement by Olalekan Badmus, Special Assistant (Digital Media) to Governor Ademola Adeleke, the incident was “baseless” and occurred while the officer was performing official duties related to the processing of retirement documents for PHC workers. The disruption stemmed from files being inaccessible during an 11-month NULGE strike. Despite presenting proper documentation and corroboration from retiring nurses, the officer was harassed and only released around 8 pm. The government emphasized that the arrest had no legal justification and highlighted the officer’s legitimate role in the retirement process. #OsunState #PHCOfficer #PoliceBrutality #PublicService #ViralNews

Osun Drags FG To Supreme Court Over Withheld Council Funds The Osun State Government has sued the Federal Government at the Supreme Court over the alleged unconstitutional seizure of local government allocations since March 2025. In the suit filed by Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Musibau Adetunbi (SAN), Osun is asking the court to compel President Bola Tinubu’s administration to release the withheld funds meant for its 30 local councils, citing subsisting judgments that upheld the February 22, 2025, council elections. The state argued that the Attorney-General of the Federation lacks powers to block allocations or disregard court rulings. It is also seeking a perpetual injunction to stop future seizures of council funds. Osun insists that the Federal Government’s actions undermine Section 7 of the Constitution, which guarantees democratically elected local councils, and warned of a threat to grassroots governance. #OsunState #SupremeCourt #LocalGovernment
