Osun APC To New PPRO: Beware Of Banana Peel, Avoid Your Predecessor’s Mistakes

Osun State APC has advised the new State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Adeoye Akeem Adeola, a Superintendent of Police, to be wary of banana peel that has  ‘caused job accidents or consumed some public officers’.

The party in a statement issued in Osogbo and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its spokesman, Chief Kola Olabisi claimed that Adeola’s predecessor, Yemisi Opabola landed herself in big trouble because she failed to  show professionalism.

‘The new PPRO should be wary of the fact that his new terrain is peopled by desperate political entities who are always  ready to assist public officers in compromising their statutory roles as far as they can maintain their selfish and unpopular hold on the jugular of the administration of the state.

It would not be proper for the new PPRO to fall into the professional ditch that catalyzed the catapulting of his predecessor, CSP Yemisi Opalola, to Abuja due to the fact that she countered the order of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, on the last purported, stage- managed and illegal local government elections held at the instance of Governor Ademola Adeleke by the pliable state Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) which absolutely has done nothing to reflect the independence of the commission.

It would be recalled that a few days to the conduct of the illegal local government council elections, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr Lateef  Fagbemi, advised Governor Ademola Adeleke to shelve the idea of holding the election as there were no vacancies in the local governments in the state on the strength of the Court of Appeal judgment of the 10th of February, 2025, which reinstated the APC council chairmen and councilors.

In a similar vein, the Inspector-General of Police also told Governor Adeleke to put the local government elections on hold as the security report available to him on the said election was not favourable.

Governor Adeleke called the bluff of the Attorney-General of the Federation and that of the Inspector-General of Police by imploring the heavily compromised OSSIEC to write election results across the state without any election taking place in any part of the state.

Surprisingly, the obviously compromised Opalola wrote about the charade thus: ‘Egbetokun commended the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Abba, for enduring a peaceful and secure environment during the crisis of the state local government election’.

Opalola went further to state that: ‘The Inspector-General of Police was in Osun to supervise and gain a first-hand view of the situation in the state concerning the recently conducted local government elections’ .

The pliable former Osun State PPRO stated further that: ‘The IGP was represented by Ari Mohammed Ali, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police(DIG) in charge of Operations’, adding that the IGP represented by the DIG ‘also commended the Osun CP for his exemplary leadership and role in ensuring a peaceful and secure environment throughout the election period’.

We, as a party,  like other discerning residents of the state, were taken aback when we saw the composition written by the CSP Opalola about a purported local government council elections that never took place in any part of the state.

In the estimation of Opalola who is now singing like a canary bird in Abuja, how could it have been possible for the IGP to commend a purported election he advised against its conduct?

Should the Osun former PPRO have allowed whatever might have been the attraction from the desperate political vampires to have caused a clog in her professional progression to the extent that she would have the effrontery to disobey the directive of the IGP?

Opalola has an explanation to make as to why she dropped the name of the DIG and the state CP in the execution of her devious professional game which has gotten her into a problem.

Much as we believe that it is the fundamental right of Opalola to identify with any political group but it is worthy of note for her to know that she has to remove her uniform as a police officer before she can enjoy the constitutional protection of playing partisan politics.

May the new Osun PPRO be endowed with divine intervention to perform optimally without hitches in his new role in the service of his fatherland’ the party added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
