By Abiodun Ogunrinde, Ibadan

The Oyo State Government has reacted to a statement
credited to the spokesperson of the Governor-elect, Seyi Makinde that the Ajimobi led administration is siphoning money from government coffers is patently false and bears no iota of truth.

Toye Arulogun, Commissioner of Information/
Culture/Tourism described it as hoax intended to
heat up the polity and whip up sentiments.

“Governor Abiola Ajimobi who will be in the
saddle of the state till the expiration of his tenure
on May 28 2019 has been running the affairs of
the State including fiscal transactions in the last
eight years in a transparent manner in accordance
with good governance and best practices.

“The Oyo State Government will continue to
operate in line with its constitutional and statutory
responsibilities.

“At the appropriate time, the necessary machinery
will be instituted for the outgoing and incoming
administration to meet and establish the desirable
transition obligations.”
