Olawale Rasheed, spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, has made it clear to the opposition in the State that Adeleke family members are so financial blessed that they don’t need any government patronage in the form of contract to survive and thrive.
Reacting to allegations being bandied by members of the opposition in the State, when he featured on Diamond FM programme (Enun Onikan), Rasheed said: “if only those agents of fake news know how much God has materially blessed the Adeleke family, they will not dare level such evil, baseless allegations.
“Let me point out that no member of the Adeleke family is a contractor with the Osun State Government. Neither our revered leader, Dr. Deji Adeleke nor the global music icon, David Adeleke (Davido), is involved in the Osun contract. It is a lie from the pit of hell to say Pacific Holding is involved in the borehole project in Osun.
“The companies handling major projects in Osun have been published and nowhere is any Adeleke owned company listed as a contractor.”
He said that the opposition is envious of Governor Adeleke’s superlative performances in all sectors of the socio economy of the state.
“The opposition APC and their operatives are simply overwhelmed by the superlative performance of Mr Governor, hence their resorting to bare faced lies and untruths.
“As of today in Osun, Mr. Governor is delivering on physical and stomach infrastructure.
“Food distribution has commenced statewide. Infrastructure projects are ongoing statewide. Like the CEO of the News Agency of Nigeria recently put it, Osun is a huge construction site.
“Complete renovation of several schools, primary healthcare centres and construction of flyover bridges as well as road dualisation are ongoing. Despite the high cost of construction materials, the administration innovates to construct without disruption.
“Mr. Governor at the same time is continuing the payment of half salary and pension debt inherited from the previous government. “The administration is paying salary as at when due while wage award is going on at the same time.
“The opposition is dazed with this speedy delivery by Mr Governor, hence recent rantings and tantrums.
“But the good thing is that Osun is a very enlightened society. Our people know that the current government is doing its best, delivering where the previous government failed. Our people know lies from the truth.
“Members of the public also have their own approval rating of Mr. Governor.
“We all know no government in the world can have a 100 percent approval rating. People claimed Mr Governor’s approval rating is 90 percent but our review is around 80 percent.
“The 20 percent is an area Mr Governor is working to attain.”
