OSOGBO-28/06/2023- Osunstate.gov.ng

Governor Ademola Adeleke has appealed for calm soon after he escaped an assassination attempt at the Osogbo Eid praying ground.

The Governor in a statement by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, thanked God for preserving him and his team, directing law enforcement agents to arrest culprits behind the incident.

“My good people of Osun, I appeal for calm and urge us to continue to celebrate the Sallah festival in peace. I am safe by the special grace of God”, the statement quoted the Governor as saying.

“I have directed security agencies to arrest those behind the incident and get them to face the wrath of the law. The Commissioner of Police has been directed to arrest those involved no matter how highly placed.

The State Government had meanwhile condemned the orchestrated attacks on the Governor by stalwarts of the All Progressives Congress at the praying ground. Members of the public will recall an earlier security alert on an evil plot to destabilize the peace and stability of Osun state.

The government particularly notes with shock and surprise the role played by former Senator Ajibola Bashiru who took over the space reserved for the Governor at the prayer ground. All efforts to get the former Senator to vacate the space proved abortive.

PDP members who agitated for respect for the office of the Governor were beaten up. It was a scene of chaos by the time the Governor arrived for the prayer.

The government was even more shocked that thugs armed to the teeth were spotted all over the praying ground with security information that they were imported to eliminate the Governor and key government functionaries.

The Governor who arrived at the venue hoping to observe the Eid prayers was practically surrounded by armed thugs, prompting security men to ferry the Governor into his jeep.

For the second time, the Governor attempted to enter the praying field but the encirclement by armed thugs was already visible. It was at that point that the Governor had to leave the praying ground.

The Governor is now safely at home receiving guests and leaders from all walks of life.

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor.

DAMAGED RAIL TRACK CAUSED THE SUSPENSION OF ILEYA FREE TRAIN RIDE– OSUN GOVT.

The Osun State Government has blamed a damaged train track as the reason behind its decision to suspend the free train ride for indigenes coming for the Ileya festival from Lagos and its environs.

The government had put in place proper machinery to offer the Imole Train services but was forced to suspend the service after the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) informed it of a train accident around Abeokuta – Lagos old gauge line.

Announcing the suspension of the free train ride, the Osun State Ministry of Commerce expressed regret at the inability of the state government to facilitate the free ride for indigenes during the Ileya festive period.

The State Government explained that all rail lines are under the purview of the federal government, and as such, the issue of the damaged lines was totally out of the control of the state government.

It also noted that the State Government could not continue with the free train ride service out of concern for the safety of passengers, which the damaged track has put into serious doubt.

Adeleke’s administration recognizes the immediate challenge that the suspension of the free train ride service portends, and assures of ongoing efforts to avoid similar experience in the future.

The Osun State Government under Governor Adeleke assured citizens of sustained commitment to their well-being, wishing Muslims in Osun state and beyond a hitch-free celebration.

Osun PDP Tasks Members, Denies Araj Comments on Najeem Salami

My attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Mr Raji Kehinde on a radio interview to the effect that the party paid a certain amount of money to former Speaker, Hon Najeem Sallam.

The statement is false as neither the party nor its candidate who is now the Governor of Osun state paid the reverred former Speaker any such money.

We believe Mr Kehinde was either misinformed or decided to play politics with the statement he uttered during the radio interview. Hon. Salami is a leader of reverence and it is quite unfair to drag his name in the mud to score cheap political points.

As much as the democratic space is about free speech, all stakeholders should be mindful of utterances capable of impugning the character of state leaders, whether in or out of government.

We take exception to the deliberate and baseless attacks on top government officials as such conduct constitutes avoidable distraction and a disservice to the concerted efforts to deliver on good governance.

The party therefore calls on its members to always exhaust internal mechanisms to ventilate their grievances and avoid externalization of domestic affairs.

Specifically, the party urges its members to exercise patience and restraint as the state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, is working to form an inclusive government which will accommodate diverse interests of all stakeholders.

The party wishes to commend the Governor for his exceptional performance and his raising the bar of state leadership from mediocrity to superlative statesmanship. The party is proud of its Governor, a man who has taken the state from darkness to light.

State Chairman,

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO- June 26th, 2023 -Osunstate.gov.ng

The government of Osun state has denied rumors on social media that it is plotting to subvert the judgement of death sentence on Dr Rahman Adedoyin, affirming that there is no plan to pardon the proprietor of the Oduduwa University.

Reacting to the growing rumour of possible state pardon for the businessman, Governor Adeleke was quoted as noting that his administration has never and will never intervene in the judicial process, labeling those behind the fake news as public enemies.

Those who concorted the fake news are evil minded political operatives who are merely grasping at straws in their desperation to blackmail the state Governor. Governor Adeleke has not and will never contemplate exercising the prerogative of mercy or whatever the report calls it, on a matter under adjudication which has generated deep interest among local and global communities.

It is important to clarify that neither the State Governor nor his political party has any hidden plot on the said murder case other than a public interest agenda to see culprits in the dastardly act face the full wrath of the law. That explains why no PDP member is involved as counsel for any of the convicted individuals and why the state judiciary enjoys and exercises its full independence in the hearing and jugdement of the case.

It is uncharitable for political enemies and their paid agents to attempt any linkage between the convicted businessman and the state Governor. We affirm with all sense of responsibility that Governor Adeleke is not at any material time a friend or partner of the owner of Oduduwa University and did not interfere, intervene or manifest any untoward agenda in the arraignment, hearing and sentencing of the accused .

We therefore urged the members of the public to ignore the repeated rumors of state pardon by Governor Adeleke for the convict and the watery push to link service records of a state judicial official to a popular verdict on the gruesome murder of a postgraduate student. Those peddling such lies are agents of darkness acting on behalf of disgruntled, dark political elements. They are better ignored.

We convey appreciation to men and women of goodwill who have put up spirited defense for the Governor in the face of this orchestrated falsehood. The undiluted truth is that neither the State government nor the state Governor is interested in the subversion of the wheel of justice.

Signed
Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor
