Crisis in Ado-Odo Ota LG As Ogun Deputy Governor Turns Chairman To Puppet





Crisis seem to be brewing in the highly industrialised Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government area of Ogun State with the alleged activities of the Deputy Governor of the state, Eng. Noimot Salako-Oyedele in the area.

Source revealed that Salako-Oyedele, who hails from the local government area, is lording it over the newly elected chairman of the council, Hon. Sheriff Adewale Musa with her interference with happenings in the council.

Unlike what she allegedly did during the campaign of the youthful chairman, we were told that the Deputy Governor insisted on taking charge of activities in the local  government, and turn the chairman to her puppet.

An instance was given of the appointments of supervirory councillors for the council, special advisers, and personal assistant to the chairman among others.
 
 

 

Those privy to the development said that Salako-Oyedele wanted everything done in her own way as she wanted her candidates in virtually all the available offices.

"Our Deputy Governor is interfering with virtually all the issues in Ado-Odo/Ota LG even before the chairman could settle down.

"She made it clear that she would provide candidates for all the available political offices in the council including those of supervisory councillors, SAs and even the PA to the Chairman.

"How could she do that and turn herself to a dictator to a man that was duly elected by the people of the local government. 

"We know what we all all went through to ensure victory for Hon. Sheriff Musa both at the primary and general elections. 

"The Deputy Governor and her cohots now came out to say they would provide all the political appointees in the council. This is is not acceptable," said a source named Taofeek.

It was gathered that the Deputy Governor is perpetrating this act with members of her political camp in the local government with total disregard to other stakeholders in the council.

We were told that all efforts made by political leaders in the area to make Salako-Oyedele see reasons and allow other stakeholders be part of the process fell on her deaf ears as she reportedly insisted that "I am the political leader here and I decide what happens."

Efforts made to get the council Chairman, Hon. Sheriff Musa speak on the matter proved abortive as he simply replied "no comment," when we got him on the phone.

Image
A devious plot orchestrated by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and disgraced ex-Representative Muhammad Shehu Koko to destabilise Kebbi State has spectacularly backfired. The duo, now prominent figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), allegedly imported notorious bandits and thugs to wreak havoc in the state, only to be met with fierce resistance from enraged residents and loyal All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters. The incident, which unfolded on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, has exposed the underhanded tactics of Malami and Koko, revealing a sordid pact rooted in political desperation and criminal collusion. According to multiple sources, Malami and Koko, both recent defectors from the APC to the ADC, conspired to unleash chaos in Kebbi State to bolster their fledgling political relevance. Malami, who served as AGF from 2015 to 2023 under the late President Muhammadu Buhari, resigned from the APC on July 2, 2025, and joined the ADC, reported...
