Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has been criticized for taking a business trip to Europe and Asia without properly informing the people of Osun State.
According to the article, this vacation would be Governor Adeleke’s first time off since he took office.
The government has spoken out after rumors spread on Whatsapp and other social media about a statewide broadcast by Governor Adeleke scheduled for tomorrow, November 27, 2023. The rumors supposedly originated in the office of the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Adeleke on New Media.
On Monday, HEALTHYSPOT101 obtained a statement written by Olalekan Badmus, Special Assistant (New Media) to Governor Adeleke, in which he dismissed the rumors as the work of pranksters.
Badmus denied making the statement and asked that it be disregarded as fake news.
Badmus also revealed that the governor has asked the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi to brief the media on the one year historic achievements of the administration on Monday, November 27 (today).
In a statement, Adeleke is quoted as saying, “Governor Adeleke had duly notified Osun people of his working vacation to Europe and Asia.” This is the first vacation he has taken as governor.
He has also instructed Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment Kolapo Alimi to hold a press conference on Monday, November 27 to discuss the administration’s first year of accomplishments.
In light of the difficult conditions through which the state and its people are going, the Governor “had also stopped any celebration of the one year in office.”
The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State released a statement accusing Governor Adeleke of lying about his whereabouts on Sunday, as reported by DAILY POST.
In a statement by Tajudeen Lawal, the Osun APC chairman, the party alleged that Governor Adeleke had been holidaying in the United States of America in the last two weeks.
