My attention has been drawn to a total falsehood published by the Sahara Reporters on the purported N650million Ife – Ifewara road contract in Osun state . I wish to state categorically that I don’t know anything about the said contract “, he said.
The former Deputy governor added, “I don’t know the company, I don’t know the Chairman? Didn’t benefit one penny So, how can a pastor be wreckless liar accusing me of what I don’t know anything about. Let the said Pastor Niyi Adebanjo bring his blackmailing proof”.
