Adeleke responds to N400m monthly spending allegation
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has denied the claim that he takes N400 million from state funds monthly. Bashiru Ajibola, a national officer of the All Progressives Congress, made the allegation against the governor. He also said Adeleke’s elder, Dupe Adeleke-Sanni is the defacto leader from whom the governor takes orders.
In his response, Adeleke said that “there is no iota of truth in the careless and ill-thought-out statement, as the governor is not drawing any domestic running cost from the government coffers.”
The government further defended itself, saying, “It is a shameful concoction from a troubled mind who is still bitter about his electoral loss.”
” As a man of due process, the governor operates within the bounds of public finance regulations.
“He forgoes the usual security vote as a deliberate demonstration of his readiness for selfless service to Osun people.
“We take a strong exception to the intentional fabrication of lies against a governor whose popularity and performance rating are above 85 per cent,” the government said.
