The Osun Civil Society Coalition (OCSC) has called on the Osun State Government to clarify whether Governor Ademola Adeleke formally transmitted the powers and functions of his office to his deputy, Kola Adewusi, during his ongoing vacation abroad. The coalition made the demand in a statement signed by its chairman, Comrade Waheed Lawal, raising questions about the legality of governance in the state during the governor's absence, according to the Daily Post.

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has travelled to Europe for vacation a few weeks after his re-election victory, according to ThisDay Live. Before departing, the governor ordered a probe into the Koka Obaship dispute, a traditional leadership matter in the state. The report did not specify the duration of his trip or who would oversee the investigation in his absence.

ThisDay Live reported brief courtroom drama in Osogbo after two petitions challenging Governor Ademola Adeleke surfaced before the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal. According to the report, both the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party disowned the filings, leaving their authorship and status unclear and intensifying political tension around the tribunal proceedings in Osun State.

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has restructured The Imole Campaign Council (TICC) to include notable leaders who have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move is part of the preparations for the upcoming 2026 elections in Osun.

The Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has begun hearing disputes arising from the August 15 governorship election. According to ThisDay Live, the APC and PDP filed petitions challenging Governor Adeleke’s re-election. The report also noted that an APC legal team denied a particular move, though the available excerpt does not provide further details about the denial or the petitions.

The political climate in Osun State has become increasingly charged as the campaign councils of the two leading parties have accused each other of involvement in political killings. Both councils have urged Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to take action ahead of the upcoming governorship election scheduled for August 15, according to Daily Post Politics.
