A Chieftain of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Ward 2, Ipetumodu in Ife North Local Government area of Osun State, popularly known as OSUPA 1, Engr Kazeem Afolabi, has described the claim by the North-West National Vice-Chairman of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Salihu Lukman, accusing the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore of mismanaging the campaign funds allegedly given to him by the party for Osun State governorship election as baseless.
According to Afolabi, the national convener of IYIOLA OMISORE AMBASSADORS, who was reacting to the allegation attributed to the former Chairman Senate Appropriation Committee, in a press statement issued and made available to newsmen in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State on Wednesday, enjoined the public to take the baseless and unfounded allegation with a pinch of salt as the writer of the said letter, Dr Salihu Lukman has no pinch of integrity to pull down former Osun East Senator, who gave good account of his stewardship while he was the Chairman of a sensitive committee of appropriation nationally without tear.
Afolabi, who described the statement as uncharitable, unwarranted, said the allegation has caused serious damages to the sterling personality and integrity of the APC National Secretary.
The Ipetumodu born politician, who demanded a retraction and a public apology as a matter of urgency from Mr Lukman to Senator Iyiola Omisore, described his principal as a man of honour and God fearing, who loves accountability in anything and anywhere, he found himself.
According to Afolabi, “I am surprised to read in the news about the damaging letter written by one Salihu Lukman, alleging Senator Omisore of mismanaging fund meant for governorship election in Osun state. I want to state here that there was nothing of such while such an allegation was a slap in the face.
“The National APC Secretary is always a man of honour, due diligence and a political giant loved by his people.”
Afolabi used the opportunity to thank all Nigerians for the massive support given to the president elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He equally begged the president elect to focus his administration light towards geometrical improvement in security, economy, oower, infrastructure and real agriculture, among other pressing democratic dividends that patriotic Nigerians are yearning for.
