“Let’s all always play safe and seek the face of God for the remaining short time the post-election judicial processes shall remove them from both Abere and Oke fia while we should continue to be law-abiding,”the allegation reads
However,when contacted by NPOReports Correspondent,Mallam Olawale Rasheed, spokesman to governor Adeleke denied the allegation outrightly.
Rasheed said that Governor Adeleke is busy fixing some infrastructural deficits in the state adding that neither him(Adeleke) nor any of governor’s officials was involved or have knowledge of the incident.
“We are shocked with the alleged attacks. Neither His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke nor any of his officials is involved or have any knowledge of the incident,”Rasheed said
“It may be an intra-union matter or whatever. As for His Excellency, he is too busy with state matters to be involved in such union matters.
“So it is mischievous for anybody to link the state government with such event. The Governor is busy with addressing infrastructural questions and forging partnership for service delivery to the good people of Osun state.”
