Adeleke’s Handlers Are Smarter Than Basiru – Governor’s Aide
The immediate past spokesperson for the Senate, Ajibola Basiru, has accused Osun state Governor Ademola Adeleke of appointing imcompetent aides in his government.
Basiru disclosed this in Osogbo while reacting to the report by Adeleke’s aide on commotion that occurred at the Osogbo Central Eid prayer ground on Wednesday.
It would be recalled that seat arrangement which occurred at the Osogbo prayer ground located at Oke-Baale area caused a clash between Governor Adeleke’s supporters and Ajibola Basiru.
Basiru said, “I pity the governor of Osun State that he is surrounded by people who don’t know how to represent him very well and those who suppose to be his handlers are people who are pushing illogical narratives for him and I will give you two examples of it.
“The CPS said some hoodlums were seen in about 3 buses at Eid ground and up till today nothing has happened in terms of arresting and bringing them to books.
“The governor left the premises, leaving those thugs in the venue without arresting them up till now and he supposes to be the Chief Security officer, he swore to the constitution, Section 14 that security and welfare are the paramount responsibility of the governor, so that statement by Olawale Rasheed is an indictment on the governor himself. Maybe he does know the implications on the office of the governor.
“Then to also say the governor arrive at a place to meet such situation means that the security around the governor is also porous because their r is supposed to be the advance team that would have gone to do security reconnaissance. Two things would have happened, either they are inefficient or outright liars,” he said
Reacting, the Governor spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed said that Governor’s handlers are more than competent hence the superlative performance of the administration in the last seven months.
“Governor’s handlers are more than competent hence the superlative performance of the administration in the last seven months. There was an advance team that had secured a space for the governor, SRJ hijacked the space and SRJ refused to vacate the space when approached by protocol officers first and later by Osogbo leaders.
“The handlers are smarter because SRJ’s agenda was to create violence and stampede which he planned to blame on the Governor. The presence of armed thugs was to kill and create a stampede, all of which will be blamed on the Governor.
“But the team was smarter, hence the Governor leaving the venue and denying dark kinds of their yearnings for blood.
“Again, the right thing was done by the police who quizzed the culprit, SRJ. Ongoing is an investigation by the police.” he added
