Oyetola’s commissioner debunks purported arrest of aide
Olalekan Badmus, the commissioner for regional integration and special duties in Osun state, has debunked the purported arrest of his aide.
The said aide is said to have been caught with thumb-printed ballot and a bag filled with money.
A national daily had published the unverified arrest, which it said was generating ‘controversy’. Badmus said the claim was untrue.
“I wish to emphatically state that myself, and every other person working closely with me have not engaged in any activities to sabotage the integrity of this on-going election.
“It is rather a rude shock to me that some mischief makers have been spreading false information online that my Personal Assistant was caught with thumbprinted ballot papers in Osogbo ward 2 and had been handed over to the security agents. This is completely untrue.
“I am a man of integrity who believes in hardwork and not cheap means to success. The claim that I was, by extension, involved in electoral malpractice contradicts the value I stand for.
“Members of the public are hereby urged to disregard any claim or accusation of sorts suggesting that I and the people working with me were involved in electoral fraud,” he said.
