Ogun State governor, Ibikunle
Amosun, has reacted to the ”false reports on the social media” that the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) visited his residence in Lagos
and recovered huge sums of money.
The Governor, in a statement by
the State’s Commissioner for Information, Dayo Adeneye, said the malicious
allegations would have been ignored, but for the general interest of the public
and the good people of Ogun State.
He said the allegation was
nothing but another in a series of political attacks to tarnish the image of
Amosun.
He stressed there had been
”series of false accusations against the person of Governor Amosun all in an
attempt to pull him down politically.”
“Those behind the malicious
attacks are doing so to heat up the polity ahead of the 2019 general elections.
”They are doing it on behalf of
their paymasters for cheap political motives. It has become a routine of one
week one accusation.
“Neither the EFCC nor any
security agency has visited the Governor’s residence”, he said.
Adeneye noted that there had
been consistent falsehood against the Governor since 2011.
”These false reports should be
disregarded and ignored in their entirety as they are only meant to score cheap
political points.
”However, the Governor would
like it to be known, that he will not hesitate to take requisite legal action
against any medium that allows itself to be used as the purveyor of any such
manifestly false and misleading information.”
