Adeleke denies allegations of N400 million monthly expenditure

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has vehemently denied allegations that he is spending a staggering N400 million monthly on domestic running costs.

These accusations were leveled against him by the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, during a meeting with party members in Osogbo.

Basiru voiced concerns over the Governor’s alleged financial decisions influenced by his family, particularly his elder sister, Dupe Adeleke-Sanni.

He also questioned the state’s increased allocations without a corresponding improvement in government service delivery.

In response to these allegations, Governor Adeleke, represented by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, has labeled them as “careless, ill-thought, and lacking any iota of truth.”

He firmly refuted claims that he draws N400 million monthly for domestic running costs from the state’s coffers.

The Governor emphasized his commitment to selfless service by forgoing the usual security vote.

According to him, “There is no iota of truth in the careless and ill-thought-out statement, as the governor is not drawing any domestic running cost from the government coffers.

It is a shameful concoction from a troubled mind who is still bitter about his electoral loss.”

Adeleke called on the APC scribe to reevaluate his statements, asserting that the Governor is focused on transforming Osogbo and the entire state.
