The White Paper on Chieftaincy Affairs Stands, No Reversal Of Decision On Igbajo Or Any Other Town– Spokesperson

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO- 19/01/2024 - Osunstate.gov.ng

The attention of the media department of the Osun State Governor has been drawn to fake news about the government going back on the decisions contained in a White Paper on Chieftaincy Matter released yesterday.

The purveyor of falsehood credited the factually incorrect claim to the Spokesperson to the Osun State Governor. There is no truth in the report and it should be regarded as the handiwork of beneficiaries of illegality perpetrated by the previous administration.

We want to reiterate that the Government stands by the decision of the White Paper and urge the public to discountenance any report to the contrary.

I did not at any time make or issue any statement as credited to me. The public should disregard it entirely.

Governor Ademola Adeleke expresses his appreciation to the people and stakeholders of the affected towns for their positive reception of the white paper.

Mr Governor appreciates the warm reception of the outcome which is premised on due process, rule of law and customs and tradition of the people.

Signed Mallam Olawale Rasheed Spokesperson to the State Governor
