OSOGBO- 31/07/2024- Osunstate.gov.ng
Our attention has again been drawn to a fake news circulating alleging engagement of consultants for the Osun Osogbo festival by Governor Ademola Adeleke
We seek to clarify clearly that neither the State Governor nor the state government is the orgniser of Osun Osogbo festival.
The Ataoja - in- Council is the organiser while the role of the state is just financial and logistics support to ensure successful outing. This has been the practice from time immemorial.
The State Governor is not involved in the engagement of consultants for the festival. The Ataoja - in- Council is the mandate holder for putting the event together including the hiring and firing of professionals for the event.
It is fake news to insinuate as some have done that the State Governor engaged consultants of whatever extraction for the organisation of the event. This is a lie from the pit of hell.
We urge the public to disregard the merchants of falsehood spreading lies and distorted reports about the Osun Osogbo festival.
Those who need information on Osun Osogbo are directed to reach out to the Ataoja -in- Council.
Signed: Malam Olawale Rasheed, Spokesperson to the State Governor.
