Akin Adeyi's Sphere Of Absurdity By Saliu Nofisat Opeyemi

Akin Adeyi's Sphere Of Absurdity  By Saliu Nofisat Opeyemi 

Akin Adeyi is a rabble-rouser and worse, a shameless liar. But no one could have imagined that he will descend so low to involve innocent babies in his politics of lies. In his usual obscene character, Adeyi irresponsibly claimed that the overseas trip of Governor Ademola Adeleke was to attend the naming ceremony of the twins of Mr. David Adeleke,. popularly known as Davido. He went a step further in his campaign of lies by falsely claiming that Commissioners and Special Advisers joined Governor Adeleke in that trip. How can Adeyi be this reckless with lies? Sigh!

For the record, Mr. David Adeleke and his wife, Chioma, welcomed their twins on October 13, 2023, and by customs and norms, naming ceremony should hold eight days after, which should be October 20, 2023. This is common sense but obviously, Adeyi lacks any, otherwise, he would not have mischievously linked the trip of Governor Adeleke more than two weeks after to the naming ceremony of Davido's babies. Although, Adeyi is known to be a retard, but as a man over the age of 60 years, and probably a grandfather, he should at least understand that dragging babies into his politics of lies is the worst for any human being. I'm sure his children, many of whom he is not responsible for, will be so ashamed of his embarrassing conducts all in the name of crumbs.

On Monday, November 27, 2023, Governor Adeleke was interviewed on Rave FM, and disclosed that contrary to the lies of Adeyi and his party, the APC, he is in Thailand, not the USA. It can only be the warped imagination of Adeyi that Governor Adeleke went for Davido's babies naming ceremony in the USA, because, just as the Governor disclosed, which aligned with the official communication of his media team, he is in Asia, since Thailand is a country in that continent. 

And contrary to the lies of Adeyi, Commissioners and Special Advisers were at their respective offices in the state, performing their respective duties. In fact, many of the Commissioners and Special Advisers joined civil servants in defending their respective Ministries proposition in the 2024 budget, but knowing the character of Adeyi, he doesn't care for fact in his desperation to misinform the public. 

During the one year anniversary of Governor, Commissioners and Special Advisers led by the Information and Public Enlightenment Commissioner, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi addressed the public through the press and provided the scorecard of the administration. Every major media outlet reported this, and this could have guided Adeyi's wrong conclusion, but he seemed lost in his art of lies that he doesn't care for the truth any longer. 

To understand unfortunate situation, take a look at the second paragraph of his ludicrous post. He noted that the "semblance of government  being experienced before they all went on their America Jamborees may not resume until when the real managers of Osun also come back", a clear admittance to the fact of the Adeleke administration visible impacts as against his previous lies and those of his party. What he however missed is that the Adeleke administration work as a team, and his observation on Commissioners having nothing to do, is nothing but a fallacy, and that arises from his poor understanding of how a government works.

On the question of N9 billion receipt from the federal government, Adeyi again showed his limitation about governance, or maybe it is penchant for mischief is the reason for his faulty reasonability. At Ipade Imole, Governor Adeleke clearly explained how the administration will utilize the N2bn subsidy fund and N7bn refund from the federal government. For the N2bn, the Governor said part will be used to procure buses to add to the pool of vehicles available for the state, while the remainder will be expended on buying food stuffs to be distributed to citizens and also fixing some healthcare centres in the state. The N7bn refund, according to the Governor, will go to funding infrastructural projects. Only mischievous people like Adeyi and his party, the APC, will continue to raise question on what has long been answered, and acceptable to Osun people. Adeyi must know that the Adeleke administration is not the same as the Gboyega Oyetola administration, which can't say exactly what it used over N13bn refund from the federal government for.

Is it not ridiculous for Adeyi to ignorantly assumed that the official vehicle assigned to lawmakers in the state are sourced from the N9bn receipt from the federal government. Although, I am well aware of Adeyi's terrible state of mind, but haba, somethings are just common sense for infantile spasms. Vehicles for lawmakers is a provision always factored in the budget every four years, irrespective of the government at the helm of affairs. It is not something that started with Governor Adeleke, so, the question raised by Adeyi is illogical, because it makes no sense. It is pure mischief and any reasonable Osun indigines can see through the scheme of Adeyi. The vehicles for lawmakers are rightful entitlements and sourced through the House budgetary provision, contrary to the mischievous insinuation of Adeyi.

And lastly, the position of Adeyi on contracts award under Governor Adeleke is funny and bizarre. Osun people can attest to the Adeleke administration adherence to due process in the award of contract unlike what is obtainable under the previous administration. Contrary to the sheer falsehood of Adeyi, the Adeleke administration advertised the Ede/Akoda road among other roads on Nigerian Tribune, which wowed many people, particularly Osun residents that such was not the case under the previous administration. In fact, many road projects under the previous administration did not get the endorsement of the Attorney-General as necessary by law. But Adeyi, who was a partaker in that ignoble era, is pretending to be concern about due process, even when it is fully adhered to by the Adeleke administration. If Adeyi is not sure, he can go to the Due Process Office and clear his ignorance.

While featuring on Rave FM few weeks ago, the Commissioner for Special Duties, Dr. Bashiru. T. Salam clarified that the initial work done on the Ede/Akoda road was a palliative by the Ministry of Works to make it motorable pending when full construction of the road will begin. So, it is pure lie on the part of Adeyi to claim that contractors have been on the road for more than five months without pay. The process for the award of the road is about to be finalized, and so, Adeyi lied on his claim that the government refused to pay the contractor. But if Adeyi is saying the government did, he should please show us when the government awarded it and promised to pay, as he had shamelessly lied.
