The immediate past Senate Spokesman, Ajibola Basiru has said that the narrative of the Governor Ademola Adeleke that thugs loaded in three buses were at Osogbo Eid prayer ground to assassinate him has proven that his security details is porous .
Though ,Basiru said the narrative was imagination coming from the Governor’s spokesperson,Mallam Olawale Rasheed.
Basiru who spoke with Newsmen in his house while hosting friends ,associate, Muslim faithful to celebrate Sallah, hinted that it was unfortunate that the security of the Governor could not apprehend the thugs which they claimed were on the prayer ground.
It would be recalled, that the Governor spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed had claimed that the Governor escaped assassination by suspected thugs believed to have been imported to the prayer ground on Wednesday during Eid prayer
“I pity the governor of Osun State surrounded by people who doesn’t know how to represent him very well and those who supposed to be his handlers are people who are pushing illogical narratives for him.”
Reacting, the Governor Spokesman Mallam Olawale Rasheed described Basiru’s action as act capable of causing security threat.
He dismissed the claims of the immediate Senate Spokesman that the Governor’s handlers are not competent as infringement of personal imagination.
He said the Governor’s handlers are more than competent, hence the superlative performance of the administration in the last seven months.
“There was an advance team which had secured a space for the governor, SRJ hijacked the space and refused to vacate the space when approached by protocol officers first and later by Osogbo leaders.
“The handlers are smarter because SRJ agenda was to create violence and stampede which he planned to blame on the Governor.
The presence of armed thugs was to kill and create stampede, all which will be blamed on the Governor.
“But the team was smarter , hence the Governor leaving the venue and denying dark minds of their yearnings for blood.
“Again, the right thing was done by the police which quizzed the culprit ,SRJ.
Investigation is however, ongoing by the police.
“Ours is a law-abiding administration. The Governor escaped assassination attempt, and the worshippers escaped stampede that would have claimed lives of innocent citizens”, Rasheed stated.
