The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has questioned the state Governor Ademola Adeleke when he would desist from running his government with lies, deceits and conjectures which have become the hallmark of his administration since its inception over two years ago.
What prompted this inquiry was the opprobrious interview session that the head of the minimalist administration granted to a national television station which was monitored in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, few days ago, where, in his incoherent, staccato and disjointed habitual manner of speaking, Governor Adeleke fed the viewers and listeners with a baggage full of monumental lies bothering on imaginary superlative performance of his administration.
It is high time the obviously confused the Peoples Democratic Party PDP-governor put an end to telling the whole world the performance level that is far distant from what is a reality on ground in the state that could be credited to his government in Osun State of today.
It was shameful to watch the embattled Governor Adeleke who was apparently sweating in the air-conditioned room in his dubious attempt to dress his administration in a borrowed robe which subsequently proved to be counterproductive as the proverbial anus of the inactive nature of his government was exposed to the right-thinking members of the society.
Definitely, the submission of the well-wishers of Osun State at the end of the tirade called an interview session was that Mr. Adeleke is far from being the choice of the governor desired by the politically and educationally sophisticated people of the state.
It is a source of worry how a governor who was a beneficiary of the benevolence of the judiciary to assume power in 2022 be stating that he won the 2018 governorship election in the state long after the apex court in the land had made its verdict that he lost the election if not that he doesn't have any iota of confidence in the same judiciary?
Any of his officials who is imbued with the knowledge of the rules of law should help drum it into the hearing of the governor that once the Supreme Court has delivered its judgement on a governorship election matter in Nigeria, whoever is displeased can only appeal to God. Simplicita!
It is equally absurd that a governor could be recklessly accusing his predecessor and his dedicated team of looting the Government House 25 months after its inauguration without anything to substantiate such allegation other than a desperation to whip up of sentiments which have obviously refused to either fly or sit.
For the umpteenth time, it is worthy of educating the confused state executive that neither his predecessor nor any member of the team could be blamed for whatever might have happened to the Government House and all the things therein after the constitutional change of guards had taken place.
If Governor Adeleke would not be unnecessarily diabolical and myopically sensational, should he and his co-travellers not have taken the advantage of the veracity of their manufactured looting allegation from the statutory security officials saddled with the responsibility of taking charge of the Government House during the transition of one government to another, more so, when the said security officials are still forming part of the workforce of the state governor?
One was expecting Governor Adeleke to tell his interview host the authentic reason why his siblings could not allow him to move to the Government House without being properly monitored for fear of exposing his pathological challenges which is the firmament his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye, is hired to fill.
If Adeleke wasn't mischievous, he ought to have disclosed to the whole world that his predecessor, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, now Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, had renovated the Government House shortly before the 2022 general elections in the state.
Governor Adeleke should tell the people why he skipped in the interview the mention of his home town, Ede, when he was reeling out the infrastructural facilities provided by his government if not that such information would have sparked an unmanageable level of criticisms which he wouldn't have been able to address because of the obvious overconcentration of government development facilities in the ancient town under his administration.
We also observed that during the interview, it expressly manifested that Governor Adeleke is consistently inconsistent as the governor who has the mantra of not collecting security votes disclosed that he was collecting it when there was a need to do so.
Shouldn't Governor Adeleke have made it known in the interview that it was his political soul mate who has just been sent parking from the APC that was responsible for the unpaid inherited modulated salary arrears of the state workers rather than making it appear as if it was the immediate-past governor of the state that was responsible for same?
Discerning minds would have thought that a governor who has truly been in charge of the administration of the state and not the one being run by proxy would have had a ready-made answer to the state Internally Generated Revenue and not until he was prodded to admit N6 billion monthly with the same speed that he mentioned the sum of N100 billion his government is using to build questionable and substandard flyovers and bridges in some parts of the state.
Part of the highlights of the interview was the pungent inability of Governor Adeleke to account for the spending of the cumulative federal allocations and the N183 billion cumulative local governments' allocations accruable to the state since inception of his administration.
One of the brazen lies of Governor Adeleke during the interview was that there is a food bank in Osun State through which his government has been cushioning the effects of hunger as there is no where whether now or in the foreseeable future that the Adeleke administration is planning a food bank.
The controversies surrounding the issue of the purchase of 114 tractors by Governor Adeleke were further reinforced when he disclosed during the interview that his government purchased 35 tractors and caused a state delegation to travel to France in order to be educated further on livestock farming in Osun State. The fact of the development is that whether 114 tractors or 35, none has been sighted in the state after the 31 tractors were brought for a street show in Osogbo, the state capital, close to one year ago. The thought out there is that the said tractors might have found their way back to their dealer through the usual nefarious arrangement of the government of the likes of that of Adeleke.
Other unforgivable blatant lies dished out by the Osun State Government in the interview were the issues of teachers' recruitment and the autonomy for the Amotekun Corps in the state.
To the best of our knowledge and understanding in the Osun State chapter of the APC, it is a lie told from the pit of hell that Governor Adeleke has ever recruited a single teacher into any of the public schools in the state since its inception. In fact, it is on record that Adeleke sacked 1,500 teachers recruited by his predecessor, Oyetola, 25 months ago.
We are enjoining the populace to weigh whatever they are told by Governor Adeleke before they could believe him as he has a penchant for running his embattled administration with bare-faced lies just as he stated in the interview that he didn't dabble into the affairs and running of Amotekun Corps in Osun State when it is known to all and sundry that it was one Mr Adekunle Omoyele, his maiden Acting Chief Security Officer, that he transferred to the corps as its chairman and commander after he succeeded in removing the former head of the internal security outfit.
May be there is another state in Nigeria called Osun where Governor Adeleke is calling the shot as no rational human being who hasn't lost his sight has been able to sight any of the foreign investors that the PDP governor falsely stated are now ubiquitous in the state in the real Osun State populated by the Virtuous people.
Our assessment of the wobbled administration of Governor Adeleke is that it lacks the pathological endowment of what it takes to give a qualitative governance to the people of the state which is largely responsible for the ceaseless ranting of the chief executive of the state.
