Osun Government Debunks Sahara Reporters' Allegation, Calls Omipidan's Bluff

The Osun State Government has responded to a recent report by Sahara Reporters, alleging a violation of procurement law by former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

In a statement released by the Hon. Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, the government described the report as a "big lie" and "deliberate distortion of facts".

According to the statement, the government was not contacted by Sahara Reporters before the publication of the report, contrary to Omipidan's claims.

The government also stated that it had requested two weeks to investigate the matter before commenting, but Omipidan chose to twist the facts.

Oluomo Kolapo Alimi challenged Omipidan to produce evidence to support his claims, specifically an audio or video recording of the government's alleged admission.

The statement emphasized the government's commitment to due process and transparency in all its dealings.

The government also criticized Omipidan's "belly-aching journalistic mischief" and his attempts to curry favor with his paymaster, Oyetola.

The statement noted that the people of Osun State are not fooled by Omipidan's antics and have seen through the failed administration of Oyetola.

Oyetola's government was described as the "poorest ever experienced by the people of the state".

The government urged Omipidan and the Osun APC to face their opposition work squarely and embrace decorum and honesty.

The statement concluded by advising Omipidan to desist from blackmail and unethical conduct.

The Osun State Government's response is seen as a strong rebuke to Omipidan's allegations.

The government's commitment to transparency and due process is widely appreciated by the people of Osun State.

The matter is expected to be closely watched as it unfolds.

In a related development, the Osun State Government has announced its intention to investigate the allegations thoroughly and take appropriate action.
