Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke is trending following his decisive action to depose a traditional ruler, the Apetu of Ipetumodu, Oba Olugbenga Oloyede.
The move is trending because it follows the monarch's conviction and sentencing in the United States for a multi-million dollar COVID-19 relief fraud.
The Governor's decision to remove the monarch was based on the legal principle that a convicted felon cannot occupy a traditional throne, marking a rare and high-profile intervention in traditional affairs.

The trend is driven by public approval of the Governor’s stance on integrity and the rule of law.
Reports indicate that the monarch was sentenced to prison in the U.S. after being found guilty of participating in a scheme to defraud the American government of pandemic relief funds.
Governor Adeleke's spokesperson confirmed that the removal was necessary to protect the sanctity of the traditional institution in Osun State.
This development has sparked a wide-ranging discussion on the background checks required for traditional leaders in Nigeria.
