📝 NigeriaNewsFeed Summary
The Osun State Government has asserted that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lacks the authority to freeze the state's accounts without a court order, alleging that the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke is facing political persecution. Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, highlighted that since the local government crisis began in February 2025, federal allocations have been paid directly to local government chairmen, leaving the state government without control over these funds. Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) accused the Adeleke administration of corruption, urging that its officials should be investigated by the EFCC instead of blaming the APC. Alimi emphasized that the EFCC has ignored the state government's petition regarding alleged financial misconduct by former governor Gboyega Oyetola. He argued that the local government is responsible for paying salaries and that the state has been financially strained due to the mismanagement of local government funds. The ongoing dispute highlights the tensions between the state government and the APC amid allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement.
