Adeoti’s Visit To Adeleke Not Political – Aide

Amid insinuation in certain quarters that the visit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart in Osun State Alhaji Moshood Adeoti to the Governor Ademola Adeleke was politically motivated, his principal aide Alhaji Wahab Adeniji has urged members of the public to disregard the negative meanings being made out of it by a caucus of the opposition party.

According to Adeniji, the visitation was innocuous because Adeoti was on a private visit to Akinleye, the Chief of Staff to Governor Adeleke, saying that the duo had maintained personal relationship without interference with each other’s different individual political beliefs.

“But circumstances made meeting with the Governor inevitable and courtesies were extended which necessitated picture opportunities that sent the neophytes in the said APC caucus on edge”, said Adeniji.

He lampooned those reading negative meanings to Adeoti’s visitation, saying there is more to social life and personal relationships than politics.

Adeniji said: “As it has been the case with their usual selfishness, members of the caucus began unreasonable extrapolation to put the integrity of the former Iwo Local Government Chairman, leader of all progressives political parties in existence in Osun between December 2003 till January 2011 when he was appointed the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) at stake.

“They attributed senseless meanings, suitable only to their warped rationalisation, to the visit, assuming it was a political visit.

“Such myopic thinking which they verbalise makes one to wonder if they know about ethics and etiquette of societal relationship and most importantly that of government.’’
