OSUN ALGON ALLEGES C.B.N OSOGBO REGION OF COMPROMISE AND UNETHICAL PRACTICE.

Osogbo, June 24, 2025.

The Chairman Association of Local Government of Nigeria, Osun State Chapter, Otunba Sarafadeen Awotunde has alleged the Central Bank of Nigeria, Osun state branch of neglecting ethical practices, embracing compromise and partisan politics.

Otunba Awotunde stated this at a news conference held at the ALGON Conference Hall Abere.

Pointing to the Court of Appeal judgement that dismissed the application of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to re-list the judgement of the Federal High Court judgement that hitherto sacked the YES OR NO chairmen, Otunba Sarafadeen Awotunde maintained that the decision of the comptroller of the Osun region of the central bank to flout the order of the court and that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an affront.

According to him "We have the evidence that the Comproller of the CBN, Osun region, has provided the sacked Chairmen with the forms, with a view to opening Local government Accounts for them, this is an aberration and an unethical PRACTICE and a decision to cause problem in osun state."

Expressing his dissatisfaction in the way the authorities of the CBN Controller, Osun Region treated the legally voted Chairmen under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party were during a visit to the bank in Osogbo, Otunba Awotunde noted that the Comproller of the bank intentionally made herself unavable, calling on the security operatives to shut the doors at them.

"We were at the Central Bank today,Tuesday june 24th, 2025, after the Deputy Chief Security Officer scheduled the appointment with the comptroller of the Bank but unfortunately, a lady security assaulted us, threatening to shoot at us and another matching on the certified True copy of the recent court of Appeal judgement, allegedly on the order of the CBN Comptroller osun region".

The ALGON chairman however appreciated the peaceful nature of governor Ademola Adeleke and his commitments to taking osun state to a greater heights.

Otunba Awotunde therefore called on the Comproller of the Central Bank Osogbo region to desist from playing the cards of some political impostors and follow strictly the constitution that identified a lawfully voted chairman, the Director of finance, the Head of local government and Director of Administrations as only the recognized signatories to the local government accounts.

The osun ALGON chairman also called on President Bola Tinubu to re-echo, his stance that governors should open accounts for their various local governments.

He however maintained that the Legally recognized Chairmen and Councillors under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party will remain peaceful as they pursue their rights and reject abberation being perpetuated by the CBN COMPTROLLER Osogbo region.
