The Oloyan of Oyan in Osun State has appealed to Governor Ademola Adeleke to pay seven months of outstanding salaries owed to 17 traditional rulers and 440 chiefs in Odo-Otin Local Government Area.

The appeal comes amid a political and legal dispute over local government funds, which has reportedly led the Federal Government to withhold about ₦230bn in allocations amid tensions between the PDP-led Osun State Government and the APC-led Federal Government.

While salaries of regular local government workers reportedly remain covered through state resources, payments to traditional rulers have been disrupted, raising concerns over the financial strain on traditional institutions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
