Governor Ademola Adeleke Didn’t Beg Seyi Makinde During Their Recent Meeting – Olawale Rasheed

Spokesperson to the Osun State Governor, Olawale Rasheed has come out to dismiss the claim that Governor Ademola Adeleke begged his Oyo State counterpart, Mr. Seyi Makinde during a recent meeting.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Adeleke went to Oyo Lodge to observe the renovation work in the building, and he only leveraged the opportunity to discuss issues concerning PDP in the region with Makinde.

Rasheed added that the news of Gov Adeleke begging Makinde is nothing but fake, and it should be ignored.

His words, “Our attention has been drawn to a planted fake news about a purported private meeting between Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state. The concocted lies in the said story have no basis in truth as at no point did Governor Adeleke have any private talk with his Oyo state counterpart.”

“Governor Adeleke had visited the Oyo state Governor’s lodge to see the newly renovated Oyo State Government House as Osun state government is embarking on a similar renovation of Osun Government House located within Asokoro.”

“It was also an opportunity for both leaders to review the state of the relationship and chart a path to strengthen the Peoples Democratic Party within the South West zone including the issue of filling the vacancy existing within the party zonal leadership.”

“The interactions were in the open and at no point did the question of begging and prostration arise as there was nothing to plead and beg about.”
