Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, had denied that incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke bought him a car.
Oyinlola made the rebuttal on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He cited the law of Osun State that mandates the provision of a vehicle to ex-governors every four years.
The former governor said he has been out of office for 16 years, implying that the state has had to replace his car frequently.
According to him, the law, enacted by the State House of Assembly, is a factual development and not misinformation, noting that the provision of the vehicle is not tied to individual governors.
“That is far from the truth, and it is a sad development that a governor will continue to tell lies.
“The Osun State House of Assembly enacted a law whereby some benefits will accrue to whosoever has governed the state.
“One of the things that is accrued to a former governor is that for every four years, his vehicle should be changed. It wasn’t Adeleke that gave me a car but Osun State government. It is a law,” he said.
