The Abiola Ajimobi-led government in Oyo State has reacted to the allegation of last minute spending leveled against it by Prince Dotun Oyelade, the spokesman of the Governor-Elect, Engr Seyi Makinde.
In a statement on Monday evening signed by Toye Arulogun, the state’s Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, the government stated clearly that the accusations are not only patently false but are figments of his imagination.
Read the full text of the statement as made available to PMParrot:
The Oyo State Government hereby wishes to react to the unfounded and mischievous allegation of emptying the treasury by the spokesperson of Engr. Seyi Makinde.
Ordinarily, Government should ignore the antics of the spokesperson of the Governor Elect in the state since the path of calumny is one in which he treads with absolute familiarity.
The Oyo State Government therefore for the umpteenth time wishes to implore members of the public to ignore the inflammatory statements of the serial propangadist. We refuse to trade words with him any further.
For the avoidance of doubt, however, we hereby state unequivocally that the accusations are not only patently false but are figments of his imagination The State Government’s earlier statement on a related matter on the siphoning of funds subsists.
Meanwhile, let it be reiterated that the mandate of the Ajimobi administration will not lapse until the 28th of May 2019. Therefore no amount of sabre-rattling will cause the Government to fold its hands counting days instead of making the remainder of its days count. Toye
Signed: Toye Arulogun, HC ICT
