Allegations Raised Against Me Untrue, I‘m Not Planning To Buy Arms For Political Thugs-Gov Adeleke
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has denied allegations that he has concluded arrangements to procure weapons for political thugs in the state while making a counteraccusation that it is rather the state APC that is already raising and deploying armed thugs to terrorize and kill members of Accord Party in the state.
Calling the allegations a ploy to divert attention from the alleged violent conduct of the state APC which include destruction of Accord Party billboards and alleged physical assaults on members of Accord Party, the governor reiterated that his party and government have overwhelming support of the masses to win the upcoming August 15 gubernatorial election.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Wednesday, the governor denied involvement of government or party official in any illegal operations, declaring that Osun State government under him operates within the bounds of the law and due process.
The statement specifically asserted that the governor’s Chief of Staff , the Amotekun commander or any other government functionaries are not planning to buy arms for political thugs, calling the allegation irresponsible, unfounded and libelous.
Asking Engineer Remi Omowaiye to explain his role in the disappearance of the fully paid state drones and communication contract for the state armoured personnel carriers, the statement noted that Osun APC is aware that alleged provision of arms for Asiri Eniba and other political thugs have been duly exposed to the public, hence the diversionary accusations.
‘We know why the Osun APC came up with its libelous and reprehensible accusations. The opposition is surprised at the state government’s proactive actions on recent security scares. The opposition APC is also concerned about a series of endorsements for Governor Adeleke at a time the state APC is being emptied by daily resignations.
We call on the presidency and national security apparatus to ignore the false alarms by the Osun APC. Governor Adeleke is a man of peace who is set to be re-elected by the grace of God and Osun people’ the statement added -Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
