Osun Govt Refutes N300m Scam Or Scandal Claim, Accuses APC for Smear Tactics

News Update

There is no Three Hundred Million naira scam or scandal in any Osun government agency or ministry as Governor Ademola Adeleke is running a transparent government, Spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has declared.

Reacting to the allegations levelled by the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, the Spokesperson accused the state APC of manufacturing falsehood and fake news to distract from its flat low acceptability among Osun people.

“Beer parlour gossip elevated to the level of party propaganda cannot white wash a badly battered opposition like the APC. No amount of fake news can change the reality that APC and its aspirants are unelectable as far 2026 election is concerned”, Mallam Rasheed was quoted as saying.

According to the Spokesperson, Osun operates a procurement law with threshold of approvals and due process compliance in the procurement process, wondering how a ministry official could be accused of handling such huge amount of fund.

“Aside approval limit and the tendering process, the procurement process has a strict oversight and compliance procedures under which no such corruption could be perpetrated. The press statement containing the allegations is the lowest ebb in the downgrading process facing the state APC.

While praising the governor as a transparent , due process leader, he described the allegations as libellous, unfounded and a figment of imagination of the opposition, hinting of a legal consequence for the APC official who made the allegations.

“We deny the allegation as a reprehensible lie from pit of hell. Governor Adeleke is a transparent and open governance leader who has never and will never tolerate corruption nor shield any official if such misdemeneur ever exist”, he concluded.
