My attention has been drawn to a purported law suit misapprehended to be a move against the swearing in of PDP regime in Osun State on November 27th, 2022 and the success of Senator Nurudeen Ademola Jackson Adeleke. I therefore consider it necessary to make certain clarifications on the mischievous and heinous allegations against me and my person in connection with the subject matter.
