Interior minister and former Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has denied authorizing a post on his Facebook page celebrating the victory of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke, in the just concluded governorship election in the state.
Adeleke defeated the sitting governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aregbesola’s party, in the election.
A statement signed by Sola Fasure, Aregbesola’s media adviser, reads;
“It has come to the attention of the media office of the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, that an unauthorized message was posted on his Verified Twitter and Facebook Pages at about 8:00am on Sunday 17th July, 2022.
The unauthorized messages have now been deleted. Members of the public, especially the media, are advised to ignore!
In the same vein, Portable, the fast-rising singer, has celebrated the victory of Ademola Adeleke as the governor-elect in Osun state.
In the early hours of Sunday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Adeleke the winner of the election held on Saturday.
The ex-lawmaker secured 403, 371 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who polled 375,027 votes.
In an Instagram post, Portable hailed Adeleke, who ran on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for winning the election.
“Congratulations Kinimah Akoi Ademola Adeleke. Imole tide,” he wrote in the terse post.”
