The Oyo State Government on Sunday warned aides of the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, to stop defending absurdity and looting of government property by political office holders in the last administration.
The government handed down the warning in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa.
We recall that some aides of the former Governor had on Friday urged Makinde to stop empowering those they described to ass routs in the name of retrieving vehicles allegedly taken away by those who served in the last administration.
But, Adisa in the statement made available to us said there is no iota of truth in the statement issued by Ajimobi aides.
“This government will not permit anyone to mix up facts in an attempt to defend a strange tradition of “vultures in governance” which is diametrically opposed to the Service Agenda of the Makinde administration.
There is a clear difference when a vehicle is boarded and the appropriate amount paid. The records at the disposal of government clearly demarcate the illegally taken cars from the boarded vehicles.
“There is no iota of truth in the claims by the former commissioners and officials of the immediate past government.
“The attention of the Government of Oyo state has been drawn to a news report at the weekend which indicated that some officials of the immediate past administration in the state raised issues about the manner in which the state is retrieving vehicles illegally carted away by some of their colleagues.
The said officials of the Senator Abiola Ajimobi-led government at a press conference in Ibadan alleged that the incumbent government in Oyo State was embarking on a “deliberate smear campaign” against them as they claimed that it was the “tradition” to take away government vehicles after a tour of duty in the state.
