Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has told Governor Ademola Adeleke to desist from shifting blame to his predecessor in office, Adegboyega Oyetola, over his inability to secure the state. Osun APC expressed concerns that Adeleke was still heaping blame on Oyetola at every given opportunity, after three and a half years in the saddle. The party in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, obtained in Osogbo on Thursday said it was reacting to an allegation by Adeleke that the former governor Oyetola purchased five drones during his tenure which the current administration could not find. Earlier, the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, had said in a statement said five security drones paid for under the Oyetola administration, had disappeared. Rasheed also said Adeleke was considering purchasing new sets of security drones to further enhance security across the state.

He appealed to the members of the public to hold Adeleke responsible should there be a security breach in the state. Bola Bamigbola
