Two factional leaderships of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Local Government in Ife East Area Office, Modakeke, Osun State on Wednesday reportedly presented separate proposed budgets for the 2026 fiscal year, each laying claim to authority and vision for the council.

BEYOND AFRICA learnt that LG Chairman, Hon. Lawal Mojeed Tunde, presented a ₦4.81 billion proposed budget tagged “Budget of Liberation and Total Transformation” to the Legislative Arm led by Rt. Hon. Adepoju Abidemi Oluseyi.

The proposal allocates ₦1.71 billion for recurrent expenditure and ₦3.10 billion for capital projects, including road construction, school and hospital upgrades, and other developmental initiatives across Modakeke and its environs.

The presentation attracted traditional rulers, market leaders, artisans, party leaders, and community stakeholders.

Barely hours later, another faction led by the Acting Chairman, Hon. Adekunle Adewumi, also presented a ₦3.9 billion proposed budget for 2026 under the Renewed Hope Agenda to the Legislative Leader, Hon. Adekunle Adeyeye, at the Council Secretariat, Oke D.O., Modakeke. The budget prioritizes infrastructure, education, healthcare, youth empowerment, and administrative efficiency, with assurances of fiscal responsibility and inclusive governance.

Both presentations drew attendance from executive and legislative officials, as well as APC leaders led by Chief Wahab Adetunji Bolarinwa, highlighting the deepening factional divide within the council’s political leadership as Modakeke heads toward the 2026 fiscal year.
