The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has debunked the speculations going round that a former senator who represented Osun West Senatorial, District, Senator Ademola Adeleke had promised him a private jet gift.
Penpushing reports that Adeleke, who was a former Governorship Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was on a courtesy visit to the monarch, and hours after a report went viral that the politician pledged to buy jet for the royal father.
The monarch in swift reaction in a statement issued by his media aide, Moses Olafare denied the rumour and cautioned the general public from erroneously believing the false report , stressing that it was a lie from the pit of hell.
This statement by the Directorate of Media and Public Affairs of the Ooni of Ife’s Palace, explained that no such report emanated nor issued from the palace, as being painted on the social media
“There’s no such report issued from the palace despite the fact that the politician’s speech was twisted by some writers with hidden intentions, including to drag the respected stool of the Ooni in the mud”, Olafare emphasised
Penpushing further reports that the media aide said the truth could be sought from videos that emanated from the visit adding that the Ooni’s singular request was for a credible election, devoid of crisis for the betterment of all, which Adeleke agreed to.”
“It is the usual character of all political office aspirants and party’s candidates without exception, including the visiting Senator Adeleke, to make several promises like the reconstruction of roads in Ile-Ife and completion of the Osun State Airport project at Ido-Osun, among others. The statement said.
“Sadly, these developmental bullet points were mischievously ignored in the viral news reports. On the controversial ‘Private Jet’, it is a common knowledge that the Adeleke family has a fleet of private planes which could have been the basis for the governorship hopeful to have lightly said ‘Royal Father, private jet you may need for your trips are readily available,’” he said.
‘It is ridiculous to see such misinformation trend on supposed credible news platforms, including national dailies. The palace of the Ooni wishes to caution the general public from erroneously believing the false report as it is a lie from the pit of hell”,Olafare added
