Campaign spokesman for Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has vowed to file a ₦10bn lawsuit against Senator Francis Fadahunsi, accusing him of defamation and injurious falsehood. The threat was made in a letter dated August 12, 2026, addressed to Senator Fadahunsi. Olajengbesi's lawyer, Hammed Lasisi, alleged that Fadahunsi made malicious and injurious statements about Adeleke on live television interviews, questioning his identity, character, and reputation.
These statements included claims that Adeleke was not from Ijebu-Jesha, used thugs, and sponsored cult groups. Olajengbesi demanded an immediate retraction and apology from Senator Fadahunsi within 24 hours, threatening legal action if this did not occur.
