The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has alleged that the governor, Ademola Adeleke, has absconded from duty without providing tangible information for the people to know his whereabouts for the past two weeks.
The party also berated the governor and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for taking the people of the state for granted by sneaking out of the Government House without appropriately keeping them abreast of his whereabouts.
In a statement by the party’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, yesterday, the APC stated: “It is wrong for the governor to just sneak 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 that requires absolute devotion of time, energy and resources to give qualitative governance to the people of the state.”
But reacting, the governor’s Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said that Adeleke went on vacation in the United States (U.S.) and would attend his nephew David Adeleke’s wedding.
He added that the governor, since assuming office almost three years ago, had not been on any vacation. He said that the Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, has been supervising governance.
“Governor Adeleke left Nigeria for the United States via the family’s private jet a few days ago for the wedding of the global music icon, his beloved nephew, David Adeleke.
“He 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 enable him to continually attend to crucial state functions.
Recall, Davido confirmed that he and his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, will have their white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025. He announced during an interview on The Breakfast Club, aired on Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
