The Governor of Osun, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has said that his interactions with President Bola Tinubu have convinced him that he will not condone any form of looting of public funds.
Adeleke said Tinubu is much aware of his efforts to clear what he called the “mess” he met in Osun after taking over from former Governor Gboyega Oyetola.
In a statement by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke stated that the President has always commended him for clearing the mess he met in Osun while also emphasizing that President Tinubu abhors looting of public assets.
“I have interacted with President Tinubu a lot of times, and I know he appreciates my effort in cleaning the many messes I encountered in Osun.
“From the actions of the President, he has shown he is a man of due process and, as such, will never support looting of public assets. It’s now unfortunate that Osun APC is showing acts that are contrary to the President’s style of governance
“Moreso, at the inception of our government, I set up an Asset Recovery Committee, with most of those with government properties alerted to the need to return them. It is now the report of the committee I’m acting on as demanded by the good people of the state”, the Governor
