Osun: Adeleke Issues Strong Warning To Some People Ahead Of His Swearing In
Osun: Adeleke has issued a strong warning to some people ahead of his swearing-in.
News ToGo learnt that the Osun State governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke has called on contractors and consultants to avoid any contractual dealings with the outgoing government.
This is as it warned that the alert became necessary to avoid any avoidable risk-taking as the incoming government will not bear responsibility for any sinister contractual obligations.
In a warning statement signed by Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson to the Governor-elect, Adeleke added that his action was premised on direct evidence he had received of ongoing plans by the outgoing government of Osun State to embark on emergency award of contracts worth several billions of Naira.
According to the statement, “As we warned last week, reports coming from the outgoing government confirmed that the agenda to bankrupt Osun State on several fronts has commenced with placement of advertisement for awards of bogus contracts.
“The government has placed advertisements in several newspapers inviting contractors for expression of interests in some projects. We are also aware of other financial dealings ongoing within the governments including alleged sanitisation of financial documents among others.
“We are using this medium to call on contractors and consultants to avoid any contractual dealings with the outgoing government.
“This urgent alert becomes necessary to avoid any avoidable risk-taking as the incoming government will not bear responsibility for any sinister contractual obligations.
“We are equally calling on financial institutions to be cautious in their financial transactions with the outgoing governments. We cannot stress enough that entering into loans or other associated obligations with the outgoing government amounts to collaboration for financial illegality.”
While maintaining that his administration will not be accountable for any financial dealings, Adeleke urged banks and other related institutions to be aware that during a transition process, such transaction is ill-motivated and uncalled for.
“Any financial transaction with the outgoing government is a risk that the incoming administration will not be accountable for,” the statement also warned.
Senator Ademola Adeleke will on Thursday inaugurate a 37-member transition committee.
The committee will be chaired by a Doctor of Nuclear Medicine, Dr Muyiwa Oladimeji, while the Director-General of Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Sunday Bisi, will serve as Deputy chairman.
The Secretary of the transition committee is Bamidele Salam, a serving member of the House of Representatives and will be assisted by Adekunle Adepoju.

The new ministerial appointees by Tinubu are:
1. DR Jamila Bio
2. Balarebe Abbas and
3. Olawale Olawande.
The President had appoint over 40 Ministers before now making him the first Nigerian President with the highest number of Ministers. With the appointment of the three persons, the number of his Ministers would be around 50- a number no past President had matched.
CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.
News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.
Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.
TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.
However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.
Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
Tribunal has sacked an APC Governor and declared PDP winner.
News ToGo learned that the Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, on Monday, nullified the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The panel led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, while delivering the judgment via zoom, said Emmanuel Ombudagu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is the winner.
Out of three members of the panel, two of the justices agreed that the election was won by the PDP while one judge disagreed. Ezekiel maintained that the petitioner was able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.
Meanwhile, former Governors Abdullahi Adamu and Tanko Al-makura were among other political dignitaries present at the court.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Abdullahi Sule the winner of the governorship election in Nasarawa State in March.
Prof Ishaya Tanko, the INEC returning officer said that the APC candidate polled a total of 347,209 votes to defeat his closest opponent, David Ombugadu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 283, 016 votes.
