July 08, (THEWILL) – The attention of the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has been drawn to fake news, alleging that the state chief executive has appointed his supposed daughter, in the person of Adenike Folasade Adeleke, and his uncle, Prof Maroof Adeleke, into the State cabinet.
The press release from the state house stated that there is no truth in the report, as neither of the two nominees are daughter or uncle of the Governor. Prof Adeleke was born in Ilesa and hails from Osogbo, the state capital. Mrs Adeleke is the daughter of Chief Omidiran of Osogbo land and wife of the late Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke.
We had expected those pushing the fake news to engage in basic investigative journalism if they had altruistic motives. If however, the goal is to malign the state Governor, the truth cannot be hidden, as the nominees are bonafide indigenes of Osogbo land.
We, therefore, urge members of the public to ignore those merchants of fake news. No biological member of the Governor’s family is included in the cabinet list. Governor Adeleke is committed to a fair distribution of appointments based on competency, spread and sectoral representation.
Signed:
Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor.
