Adeleke Sends Strong Warning To Oyetola, Cabinet Members
The Governor-elect of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, yesterday, warned Governor Gboyega Oyetola and members of his cabinet against diversion and looting of government assets and public property.
Adeleke alleged that the incumbent governor and his allies were making clandestine moves to convert the public property to private ownership and bankrupt state finances before he (Adeleke) takes over governance.
A statement, signed by the spokesperson to the governor-elect, Malam Olawale Rasheed, accused Oyetola of planning to further plunge the state into debt.
He, therefore, warned that any government official involved in shady practices would be called upon to answer for them when he assumed office on November 27, 2022.
“The attention of the office of the Osun State governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has been drawn to unwholesome criminal activities of some government functionaries and appointees under the watch of Governor Gboyega Oyetola towards pilfering of state assets, conversion of public assets into private ownership, illegal awards of licences and incurring of superfluous loans and expenditures,” the statement stated.
Meanwhile, the candidate of the Accord Party in the just-concluded governorship election in election, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, has accepted defeat and congratulated Adeleke on his victory.
