A prominent coalition of Muslim leaders in Osun State, Nigeria, has publicly questioned Governor Ademola Adeleke's record, specifically challenging his claims of increased support for the Muslim community under his administration. The group, operating under the banner of Concerned Muslim Stakeholders and League of Alfas, disputes the governor's assertion that his government has provided more benefits to Muslims compared to previous administrations.

The leaders expressed their concerns regarding the governor's performance and its impact on the Muslim populace. Their statement directly contrasts with Adeleke's public pronouncements, suggesting a significant disconnect between the administration's narrative and the perceived reality on the ground.
