The Osun State Government has dismissed allegations claiming that it is forcing career officers in local governments to change signatories to council accounts amid the ongoing tussle between the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) over local government control.
Papers News understands that the Chairman of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun, Adewale Adebayo, alleged that Governor Ademola Adeleke was forcing Finance Directors and Heads of Local Administration to alter council account signatories.
“We reliably gathered that Adeleke’s government has started taking 30 Local Government Area Finance Directors and Heads of Local Administration to an undisclosed location forcefully. This is unconnected to the contention over who controls the local government”, Adebayo claimed.
