Mining sector: How Mallam Olawale Rasheed exposed Gov Adeleke’s incompetence

By Adekunle Waheed

I am a member of His Excellency, Adegboyega Oyetola’s media team. We don’t shy away from intellectual discourse because our engagements are usually fact-driven. We don’t hide behind a finger like Mallam Olawale Rasheed who out of sheer intellectual indolence engages a party to cover up his inadequacies each time a lid is blown off their usual diatribe and lies.

He raised an allegation against His Excellency, Adegboyega Oyetola. His media aide responded with facts and figures to dismiss their claims. Rather than keeping shut, he came back through a pseudo NGO to attempt to misrepresent what Oyetola’s media aide said.

If anything, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has further exposed Gov Adeleke’s ineptitude and incompetence as the issues raised by their pseudo NGO has no bearing on the real issue raised earlier by them and as addressed by Omipidan.

They gave themselves away with that write-up. The supposed author, coordinator of an unknown Osun Democrats for Democracy, writes about the policy of the government as if it is his idea.

When did Gov Adeleke launch “the tripartite approach to restoring normalcy within the mining sector?” When and where did the Government announce this policy direction? Of course, it is hand of Jacob, voice of Esau. But Olawale Rasheed and other spin doctors were plausibly carried away while carrying out their machination. They left their track uncovered. So shameful.

Meanwhile, it is on record that the Oyetola government set up a joint security task force to sanitize the mining sector. And every Kobo that accrued from that sector, not 13 percent derivation o, went to the state coffers.

Adekunle served as SA media to Governor Oyetola.
