The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarenwaju, on Thursday insisted that President Bola Tinubu is the man behind the masquerade troubling Osun State.
Olarenwaju, however, noted that Adeleke is not bold enough to identify Tinubu as the troubler of the state.
His comment comes amid the controversy between the Osun State government and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over frozen bank accounts.
EFCC had claimed that it’s action was not targeted at anybody, stressing that some of the bank accounts were frozen to avoid the diversion of funds.
However, Olarenwaju posted on X: “Tinubu is the man behind the masquerade troubling Osun State and if Gov. Adeleke is not bold enough to name him, he should avoid any public genuflection or kowtowing to him until elections are done and the will of the peoples of Osun prevails against APC next Saturday.
“Public proof that EFCC continues to act at the discretion and direction of Bola Tinubu, and may in future be used at will against opposition leaders.
“This is consistent with Tinubu’s “all is fair in politics” assertion, but inconsistent with democratic norms.”
