There Was Nothing To Beg For’ -Adeleke’s Aide Speaks About Principal’s Visit To Makinde

The spokesperson to the Osun State Governor, Olawale Rasheed, has clarified why his principal, Ademola Adeleke visited his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde.

Naija News reports that Rasheed dismissed reports that his principal went to beg Makinde when he visited him last Friday.

According to Adeleke’s aide, there was no reason for his principal to plead or beg Makinde.

Recall that Adeleke visited Makinde last Friday at the Oyo State Government House lodge in Abuja.

However, following his visit, reports emerged that he was there to beg Makinde and to solicit his support and endorsement of his candidate to replace the late National Vice Chairman (South-West) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon Soji Adagunodo.

However, Adeleke’s aide, in a statement on Monday, said the recent meeting between his principal and his Oyo State counterpart was to discuss issues around the PDP in South West region.

Rasheed said his boss went to the Oyo Lodge to observe the renovation work in the building, saying that Osun also planned to renovate its lodge and only took the opportunity to discuss issues concerning PDP in the region with Makinde.
