Conflict occurs between Adeleke’s aide and the former Senate spokesperson at the Osogbo Eid prayer site.

Ademola Adeleke’s assistants and Dr. Ajibola Basiru, an ex-spokesperson for the Senate, got into a fight over the seating arrangement at the Osogbo Eid worshipping grounds on Wednesday.

When the Eid-el-Kabir prayers were about to start, Basiru and other notable Osogbo natives arrived at the praying area. It was later discovered that while they were waiting for the prayers to start, some individuals who were reportedly the governor’s aides informed Basiru that he was sitting in Adeleke’s designated spot and that he should move to the second row.

Despite the argument over the directive, Basiru was seen getting up from his previous seat.

When the controversy over the seating arrangement started, Adeleke hadn’t yet arrived at the location.

Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo, and Delta, Dr. Tunde Badmus led Adeleke into the praying area, but she was unable to get to the front row because the dispute was still being worked out.

Later, the governor’s motorcade was seen leaving the location as the prayers were about to begin.

Following the prayers, the police sealed the door to the prayer area amid reports that Basiru’s arrest had been ordered; however, the door was eventually unlocked, and the attendees exited the area.

Olawale Rasheed, the governor of Osun’s spokesperson, could not be contacted on his cell number, while attempts to call Basiru’s telephone rang out in vain.
