THE State Government has denied that the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, wrote a letter to the governor demanding N20 million to finance his wedding to a Kano princess.
The state government said the letter was the handiwork of mischief-makers, who wanted to bring the governor and the government on a collision course as the governorship election draws nearer.
A statement by the Commissioner For Information and Civic Orientation, Funke Egbemode, said that, the state government would not be disturbed or distracted by the development.
She said, “We are aware that the Oluwo has denied writing the letter, and as a government, it is important to stop those making negative insinuations in their tracks.
“This fresh attempt by mischief-makers to bring the governor and the government on a collision course with the citizens did not come as a surprise especially as the state draws closer to its gubernatorial primaries and election.
“The community of sadists is increasing the tempo of their shameless propaganda machine. However, this is another dead-on-arrival plot!
“For starters, it is an established fact that this is a government that has put the welfare of its citizens ahead of personal or group interests.
“It is also established that Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola is a prudent manager of resources, who is focused on the development of Osun and everything that translates to public good.
“These mischief-makers have come up empty again, and all their attempts will come to nothing!
“We will not be disturbed or distracted by the noise of political miscreants whose only job is to grab their phones, get on social media every morning to cause bad blood.
“We implore the good people of Osun State, to ignore all insinuations targeted at maligning this governor and government.
“We can see through the thin veneer of those, whom out of desperation, will do anything to get the attention of Osun people.
”We know they are running out of oxygen, but we will not descend to their level.”
