Mr Ismail Omipidan, the media aide to the immediate past Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, has described as ‘reckless and unguarded’ the statement on Osun loans’ liquidation credited to Mr Sola Fasure, media adviser to the Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola.
Omipidan also challenged Fasure to produce records of the purported liquidation of the loans Aregbesola incurred when he was governor of the state.
Responding to an earlier statement signed by Fasure, where he said that loans that Aregbesola incurred from 2013-2017 during his tenure as governor of Osun, had been liquidated, Omipidan described the claim as unfortunate.
The statement further read in parts, “Fasure should know that the EFCC is a responsible agency and a discerning one at that. Therefore, they know facts from fiction. They will know who did what and when. This is where I find his call on the EFCC not only irresponsible, and unguarded but reckless.
“Fasure and his co-travellers are merely trying to exploit the raging political reality to spew lies to the public.
His statement has further confirmed our position that they are working in cohort with Adeleke and the PDP.
This, further explains why the PDP government cleverly avoided publishing the dates the loans were procured.
“I challenge Fasure to publish details of how the loans were purportedly liquidated for the members of the public to analyse. Again, I want to reiterate that we never took any loan before or after the July 16 governorship election as alleged by Fasure and the PDP. I have gone this whole hog to show that the allegations against my principal are unfounded.”
