Governor Adeleke Did not Donate One Billion Naira to a Church, Stop Hallucinating – Spokesperson to Osun APC Chairman

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO – 24/08/2024 – Osunstate.gov.ng

The donation of One Billion Naira to the Cherubim and Seraphim Church is a private philanthropic gesture by a world-renowned business mogul, Dr Deji Adeleke which has no link or source with the Osun State government.

This clarification was made on behalf of the state Governor by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed who affirmed that Governor Ademola Adeleke did not donate the said fund and that the donation is not sourced from the state’s treasury.

Reacting to a statement from the state All Progressive Congress (APC) which accused the Governor of squandering state assets through the donation to the C & S Church.

According to the Spokesperson, the state APC and its operatives have ran out of ideas, hence the opposition resorts to barefaced lies and fake news on an event globally live streamed and a donation personally made by the billionaire father of a billionaire, Dr Deji Adeleke.

“Let us all recall that Dr Adeleke made substantial donations to the state government under the Oyetola administration during the COVID crisis. Was Governor Adeleke in office then?”

“Dr Adeleke also hugely contributed to the Federal Government during the Covid crisis. Was Governor Adeleke in charge of the Osun treasury then?”

“At the event in Lagos, neither the state government nor the state Governor made any donation. The only donation came from Dr Adeleke who is more than capable to do so as he had done to APC governments when Mr Oyetola and Muhammadu Buhari were in office”, the Spokesperson posited.

Attempts by state APC to play the religious card also fell flat because the Muslim community knows it is benefiting more from the Adeleke administration than under the previous APC government. Today, Governor Adeleke is almost completing the state Hajj Camp which previous APC government did nothing about.

According to Mallam Rasheed, the Osun APC is daily hallucinating as it has become overwhelmed by the superlative performance of Mr Performer, Governor Ademola Adeleke. These days, press statements from the state APC appear to be silly concoctions from depressed minds who are lost as to how to tackle the state Governor”, the Spokesperson declared.

“The other time, the opposition, shocked by wholesale validation of Osun infrastructure projects by the engineering community, ignorantly lambasted the highly professional and credible COREN/NSE team. Meanwhile, NSE had conducted similar exercises in APC states of Lagos and Ogun. Isn’t the state APC hallucinating?

“ We seek to put this unnecessary debate to rest by clarifying once again that neither the state government nor the state Governor donated the said One Billion naira to the Lagos church. We add too that the said money is not being sourced from the state treasury. And we conclude by affirming that the philanthropist who made the donation had made even bigger donations in the past and even to the APC government to address the state emergency.”

“Members of the public should ignore the vituperations and the fake news merchants who now run the deeply unpopular and polarised APC structures in Osun state”, the Spokesperson concluded in the statement.
