The Osun State government has debunked rumour that Governor Ademola Adeleke has sold the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.
The state commissioner for Commerce, Mr Bunmi Jenyo, in a statement on Wednesday, said the rumour was aimed at maligning the personality and good governance of the state governor.
According to him, the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park simar on the landed property of the Federal Railway Corporation and cannot be sold.
He said, “The assertion is not only ridiculous, it is also barbaric. It is indeed the figment of imagination of the enemy of Osun State, who have failed in their many attempts to blackmail, malign and disrepute the personality and good governance of the State Governor, especially in the economic sector.
“The Nelson Mandela Freedom Park sits on the landed property of the Federal Government, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), but was developed by the government of Osun State under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, mainly for Urban Renewal.
“So, if some people, who are bereft of ideas about issue-based campaign, decency and good governance, are now making laughable allegations, they should be totally ignored.
“It is abundantly clear to the public, especially the good people of Osun State that Governor Adeleke is running his government with the fear of GOD, integrity, passion and dedication to the transformation of lives of the citizens.
“His Excellency, the Asiwaju of Edeland has neither sold any government property nor borrowed a dime from anyone, despite his transformative achievements in Infrastructure, Commerce and Industry, Health, Education, Agriculture and workers’ welfare in the State.”
