Tinubu will not support looting of public assets, Adeleke tells Osun APC
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has told the main opposition party in the State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not support looting of public assets.
Adeleke, was responding to a recent reaction by Osun APC to the state government on white paper report, in a statement by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed.
The Governor, stated that the President has always commended him for clearing the mess he met in Osun while also emphasizing that President Tinubu abhors looting of public assets.
His words: “I have interacted with President Tinubu a lot of times, and I know he appreciates my effort in cleaning the many messes I encountered in Osun.
“From the actions of the President, he has shown he is a man of due process and, as such, will never support looting of public assets. It’s now unfortunate that Osun APC is showing acts that are contrary to the President’s style of governance
“Moreso, at the inception of our government, I set up an Asset Recovery Committee, with most of those with government properties alerted to the need to return them. It is now the report of the committee I’m acting on as demanded by the good people of the state,” the Governor stated.
Adeleke further asserted that since he took over, he has been governing the state without any partisan affiliation and has not dragged any political adversaries to the anti-graft agencies even when there are clear reasons to do so.
He said his administration would leave no stone unturned to recover all looted government properties while urging the appointees of the previous administration in the state to return all government properties in their care.
