THE Minister of Interior and former Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has denied news making rounds attributed to him in the media over the state of indebtedness of Osun State.
It will be recalled that the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke accused his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola of putting the state in perpetual debt of N407.032 billion before handing over.
In a Press Release signed by Aregbesola Media Aide, Sola Fasure available to SOJ WORLDWIDE, he said he was ‘misreported’ by a section of the media in the earlier comments attributed to Aregbesola.
“I have read with dismay, comments attributed to Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on the ongoing accusation and counter-accusation on Osun debt profile.
This statement is thus necessary to clarify that the Minister has not made or authorised any statement on the matter, however, comments made by me to a reporter were misreported and attributed to him by media houses who never had a conversation with me.
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is focused on his current assignment as the Minister of Interior and will not be distracted by the ongoing bickering. The actors involved in the current imbroglio are thus advised to keep his person out of their accusations and counter-accusations.
