Commissioner Designate, Adenike Adeleke, Not My Daughter, She Is My Brother’s Wife – Governor Ademola Adeleke

The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has cleared the air on his appointment of one Adenike Adeleke as one of his commissioner nominees.

Governor Adeleke, in a press release by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, refuted the claim that the commissioner designate is his daughter, saying the nominee is his brother’s wife.

The former governor of Osun State, Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke is the brother of the present Governor Ademola, and the press release has now cleared the ground that they commissioner designate is his brother’s wife, who by extension is also a member of Adeleke’s family.

Commissioners’ Nominees not Daughter or Uncle of Governor Adeleke

OSOGBO- 07/07/2023- Osunstate.gov.ng

The attention of Governor Ademola Adeleke has been drawn to a fake news alleging that the state chief executive has appointed his supposed daughter in person of Adenike Folasade Adeleke and his alleged uncle, Prof Maroof Adeleke into the State cabinet.

There is no truth whatsoever in the report as neither of the two nominees are daughter or uncle of the Governor. Prof Adeleke was born at Ilesa and hails from Osogbo, the state capital. Mrs Adeleke is the daughter of Chief Omidiran of Osogbo Land and wife of the late Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

We had expected those pushing the fake news to engage in basic investigative journalism if they have any altruistic motive. If however the goal is to malign the state Governor, the truth can not be hidden as the nominees are bona-fide indigenes of Osogbo Land.

We therefore urge members of the public to ignore those merchants of fake news. No biological member of the Governor’s family is included in the cabinet list. Governor Adeleke is committed to fair distribution of appointments based on competency, spread and sectoral representation.

Signed:
Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor
