File photo: Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke
The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Saturday rejected Governor Ademola Adeleke’s response to allegations that he was sheltering wanted criminals in the Government House.
The party described Adeleke’s response to Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, who, during a visit to the Osun State Government House in Osogbo on Friday, said he had been informed that the governor was keeping criminals, as “evasive.” It insisted that some wanted criminals were being sheltered by the governor to shield them from arrest.
The APC, in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Olabisi, said Adeleke’s denial of keeping dangerous criminals in the Government House was an indication that he was running his government with propaganda.
However, in a swift reaction, Jamiu Olawumi, the Director of Strategic Communication of the Imole Campaign Council, a body championing the re-election of Governor Adeleke, said the APC had accused the governor of what it did while in government in the state.
