The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress is accusing the state governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, of being inconsistent regarding the take-off of the recently established University of Ilesa.
The opposition party was reacting to the assurance given by the governor on Friday after an on-the-spot assessment of the facilities at the upgraded College of Education, Ilesa. Adeleke had assured that the University of Ilesa had come to stay, adding that he was only making efforts to ensure that the institution had a proper and sustainable takeoff.
But Osun APC acting chairman, Mr Tajudeen Lawal, in a statement obtained in Osogbo on Saturday, said the haphazard manner with which Adeleke reversed earlier policies on the take-off of the institution and the Ilesa Water Project, was an indication that he was not sincere about the projects.
The statement read in parts, “I wonder why policy somersault has become the hallmark of the Adeleke administration? How can a governor in a supposedly democratic dispensation dish out policy statements like a military dictator?
“The haphazard manner with which Adeleke reversed his earlier policies on the take-off of the Ilesa University (IU) and the Ilesa Water Project is an indication that he is not sincere as he is out to swindle the populace and obtain their votes under false pretence in the Saturday’s election across the state.
“All the indigenes of Osun State, wherever they may be, must not cease to offer prayer to God Almighty to deliver us from the ‘kick-and-push’ governor whose trademark is a constant policy somersault.”
