The Osun State government, has issued a statement advising its residents to ignore any information from the All Progressive Congress (APC) inciting Local Governments are to contribute N2.9 billion naira.
This was confirmed in a press statement issued on Monday at the state capital, signed by the spokesperson to the Governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, which reads:
“Our attention has been drawn to fake news from the Osun APC hall of infamy, alleging a supposed directive to Local Governments to contribute N2.9 billion naira. This is a lie from the pit of hell and a progression of Osun APC to eventual melancolic state after days of hallucination from a mild form of depression.
“First was the senseless allegation of a plot by the Adeleke government to demote one million workers. Now the ridiculous tantrum about false extortion of N2.9 billion from local governments. In their rabid state of despondency, the capacity to churn out any believable lie is severely degraded, leading to bush league releases from incompetent minds.
According to the statement, Osun Government, however, urged citizens of the state not to pay attention to any round of misinformation and disinformation
“This administration is governed strictly by due process and transparency within the context of public finance regulations. The State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has zero tolerance for corrupt practices as he focuses daily on delivery of good governance and people’s welfare.
“At the Ipade Imole to be held next month, Osun people and all stakeholders will have the opportunity to receive and contribute to the stewardship report from the state government by the special grace of God.
“We assure the citizenry that this current leadership is nurtured by open government principles for good governance.
