Adeleke Laments Oyetola’s Expenditure On LGAs’ Election

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has described the expenses incurred in the  local government election in Osun under the past administration as a crime  against humanity and the people of Osun.

The governor spoke through his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, when he interrogated the executive secretary, Osun State Independent Government Electoral Commission (OSIEC) Bar. Adedapo Ayodeji Adejumo, during the ongoing ministerial briefing at the Government Secretariat, Abere.

Adeleke asserted that the humongous amount spent on the election was nothing but a misplacement of priority, especially at the time when backlog pension arrears were unpaid.

“It is incumbent on a serious and God-fearing leader to always have the interest of his subject at heart at all times as against one’s self-centered interest

“It was glaring that it was a kangaroo election conducted in contravention of the electoral laws on the conduct of local government elections,” the governor lamented.

In his earlier response on the issue of constituting caretaker committees at grassroots, Adejumo described it as an aberration, pointing out that the act is unknown to the law.
