Stop defending looting: Why was your lodge not reported as looted.

I called on former Chief Press Secretary to former Governor Gboyega Oyetola to stop defending documented looting perpetrated in 90 percent of the government quarters occupied by former government officials.

We guess there should be a limit to defending a reprehensible conduct of unscrupulous officials. The public should ask Mr. Omipidan why his official residence was not listed as looted. Also, the public may want to ask why the official lodge of the former Secretary to the State Government was not listed as looted.

We have inspected all the government quarters and our team released to the public what we found in those places. 90 percent of government quarters were pillaged. The simple fact was that neither Omipidan’s place nor that of the former SSG was pillaged. Hence, our reports never mentioned those untouched places which are less than 10 percent.

If over 90 percent of the quarters were looted, the government of the day has a responsibility to report to the public. The Assets in question are publicly owned and Osun people deserve to know what happened.

As an open government, the administration is transparent and will not hide anything from the people. A public committee functions in a public place with a duty of public reporting. This is not a secretive organisation. The government of Senator Ademola Adeleke is not interested in covering up recent maladministration and diversion of public assets.
