Former governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s media aide, Mr Ismail Omipidan, has described the claim by Governor Ademola Adeleke that the Osun Governor’s Lodge in Abuja was plundered by those who served under his boss as a mere diversionary tactic by the governor to cover up his unpreparedness to govern Osun state.
Omipidan also said the governor’s repeated accusations while the panels were still sitting were indications that they were in actual sense allegedly set up to do hatchet jobs.
‘If a panel on Assets Recovery has been set up, why not allow the panel do its job and then present their findings? You promised to invite people to appear before the panel. You have not heard from them, yet you are passing judgment already. What’s the essence of the panel since you already know the outcomes? he asked.
Omipidan in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that what Osun state had witnessed in the last two weeks ‘is a vindication of his earlier position that the PDP was not ready for governance’.
‘Recall that when he inaugurated his transition committee in July, one of the terms of reference of the committee was to design for the governor what he would do in his first 100 days in office. And I said clearly then that these people were not ready for governance. We all can see now. It is manifesting.
First, they alleged that it was my Principal who looted. I came up with the inventory and the fact that the security agents attached to the new governor took charge of the Government House, Osogbo on November 26 and that by 27, which was the Inauguration Day, they held a party there. But by December 1, they came up with a lie to say the place was looted. Till date, they have not controverted the facts I laid bare.
Today, they have started another lie.
I say for the umpteenth time that my Principal did not loot any state assets. Therefore, this government should stop these blanket statements of accusing Oyetola and his men of what they did not do and face governance’ Omipidan added- Team@orientactualmags.com
