In recent times, the internet has become a hotbed for spreading misinformation and fake news, especially in the realm of politics. One such incident has surfaced, claiming that Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State begged his Oyo State counterpart, Governor Seyi Makinde, during a meeting. However, we, as the official spokesperson to the Osun State Governor, Olawale Rasheed, categorically dismiss these false claims. This article aims to shed light on the real purpose of the meeting between the two governors and clarify the misleading rumors.

Setting the Record Straight

First and foremost, let us clarify the purpose of the meeting between Governor Ademola Adeleke and Governor Seyi Makinde. The meeting centered around issues related to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West region. It was a constructive and open discussion to strengthen the party’s position within the zone, including addressing the vacancy within the party’s zonal leadership.

The Visit to Oyo Governor’s Lodge

During the meeting, Governor Ademola Adeleke visited the Oyo State Governor’s lodge to witness the newly renovated Oyo State Government House. This visit was crucial as it provided insights into the renovation work, which was essential for Osun State, as it was also planning to embark on the renovation of its own government house located within Asokoro. The two leaders saw this as an opportunity to review their states’ relationship and collaborate on ways to enhance the PDP’s influence in the South West.

Debunking the Prostration Allegation

Rumors circulated on social media, alleging that Governor Ademola Adeleke prostrated before Governor Seyi Makinde during the meeting. We vehemently deny this claim. The interactions between the two governors were held in a respectful and professional manner, without any instances of begging or prostration. Such baseless and concocted lies lack any factual basis and should be disregarded by the public.

The Truth About the Meeting

Let us further clarify the details of the meeting between Governor Adeleke and Governor Makinde. The parley took place in the living room, where the two leaders engaged in fruitful discussions on PDP matters. Photographs were taken during the meeting, capturing the amicable atmosphere and the presence of others in attendance. The alleged infighting among Osun Government functionaries, as suggested by some, is simply the handiwork of individuals seeking to profit from the absence of substantive leadership within the party’s zone.

Focusing on the Future

As the official spokesperson, we urge all members of the PDP across the South West region to ignore the fake news circulating about the meeting and instead concentrate on making the forthcoming zonal meeting a resounding success. It is in the best interest of the party to work together cohesively, and any distractions must be cast aside.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the claim that Governor Ademola Adeleke begged Governor Seyi Makinde during their meeting is nothing but a fallacy. The purpose of the meeting was centered around discussing critical issues concerning the PDP in the South West region, and there were no instances of prostration or begging. We hope this article sets the record straight and dispels the misleading information surrounding the meeting. As the spokesperson to the Osun State Governor, we emphasize the importance of accuracy and truth in the dissemination of information, especially in the digital age.
