The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has demanded the whereabouts of Governor Ademola Adeleke, alleging that he has absconded from the state in the past two weeks without information.
Director of Media and Information of APC, Mr. Kola Olabisi, in a statement, claimed the governor quietly left the state unannounced about two weeks ago after his defection to the APC failed.
Noting that he had once left barely one year into his administration when his media handlers said he was in the United States of America and others said he was in the United Kingdom shopping for foreign investors.
“It was when there was nothing to cover up the bare-faced lies that the people of the state later got to know that the governor was in Thailand on a medical mission.
“It is absolutely wrong for Governor Adeleke to take the people of the state for granted by just sneaking out of the Government House for an undisclosed destination without considering it appropriate to inform the people of the state.
“The governor should be aware that governing a state is a serious business which requires absolute devotion of time, energy and resources in order to give qualitative governance to the people of the state.

“It is very important for the governor that he should learn how to be accountable to the people of the state and not his nuclear and extended family alone because he was the one who applied for the governorship seat of the state,” APC said.
Reacting to the statement, spokesperson to Governor Adeleke, Olawale Rasheed, said the APC was invited to the wedding of David Adeleke (Davido) in the United States which Governor Adeleke is attending for a few days.
Rasheed said the invitation to APC became necessary after its statement asking for the whereabouts of the state governor.
“Governor Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke.
“His Excellency is extending an invitation to the opposition party to attend the event and share in the joy of the occasion with the Adeleke family. Those unable to attend may join virtually.”
“Additionally, from the November 2022 date, the governor has not gone on official vacation. For this current trip, the governor has again chosen to make it a short one to continually attend to crucial state functions.
“Meanwhile, the governor is in constant communication with his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi who is supervising activities of the government,” Rasheed added.
