“Governor Ademola Adeleke Did Not Withdraw Any N5 Billion Naira From State Accounts”

We want to publicly deny a malicious rumour and unfounded allegation secretly being peddled on social media by men of yesterday that Governor Ademola Adeleke withdrew Five Billion Naira from State Accounts. This is a lie from demented minds.

The public will recall that Governor Adeleke had during his inauguration announced the freezing of all state and local government accounts. That was done right at the venue of inauguration before he had any access to government’s records and finances. How can such amount be withdrawn from State account on the day of inauguration when the new leader had no access to state accounts ?

We appeal to members of the public to ignore the rumour as a product of deranged individuals who are still in pain because of their loss of power. His Excellency, Governor Adeleke is on seat to service the people and is not interested in self-enrichment as was the mantra of yesterday leadership.

Signed:

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,

Spokesperson to the Executive Governor
