Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has defended the selection of Ede, his hometown, as the site for a proposed international airport. Speaking at a town hall meeting, Adeleke emphasized that his role as governor does not require him to neglect his own community. The airport project has faced criticism from opposition parties over its cost and location, with the contractor's technical capacity and the rising budget now exceeding N130 billion.

He pointed out that other states, such as Ogun, have similarly placed airports on farmland, and that the decision to select Ede was based on pre-existing precedents.
