No cabal in Adeleke’s government: Osun SSG Teslim Igbalaye speaks
Quick Read
"I see the write up by Mr. Araj as a failed attempt to create a wedge between the people of Osogbo and the state government.
Teslim Igbalaye, Secretary to the Osun State Government, has rubbished a report claiming that the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke has relegated his office and marginalized the people of Osogbo.
Teslim in a statement sent to PM News on Sunday said it was wrong to posit that his office has been relegated by a cabal.
The SSG clarified that there is no cabal in Adeleke’s government, adding that the aim of the author was to create a wedge between the people of Osogbo and the state government.
The statement personally signed by Teslim read:
“My attention has been drawn to a baseless attack on the state government by Mr Kehinde Raji in which he alleged the marginalization of Osogbo and the relegation of the office of the Secretary to the State Government.
“I want to strongly reject the allegation as lacking any basis in truth or reality. Governor Ademola Adeleke has since assuming office treated Osogbo as his second home by attending to the infrastructural upgrade of the capital city from roads to water and light among others.
“Osogbo is receiving full gubernatorial attention for which our people are openly appreciative.
“It is equally false to posit that my office has been relegated by a cabal.
“There is no cabal in the state government and I wonder where Mr Raji got his false narration from. I remain an ever busy SSG who is handling many high profile state tasks and whose office is functioning fully in line with best practices.
“I see the write up by Mr. Araj as a failed attempt to create a wedge between the people of Osogbo and the state government. Within such a short period of time, Osogbo has benefited substantially from the present government and it is unfair to falsify reality for cheap political gains
“Rather than anybody embarking on political blackmail, Osogbo is instead grateful to State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke for rewarding the city so impressively. We apologize for the embarrassment this publication may have caused the state leadership.”
