He noted that contracts awarded under Mr Oyetola’s tenure adhered strictly to the State Public Procurement Law, countering allegations of irregularities.
“The committee making these accusations was created by the new administration to target Oyetola. This is political persecution, not a genuine anti-corruption effort,” he said.
On the money laundering allegations against the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON, Mr Olabisi dismissed them as unproven and lacking credible evidence.
He argued that without bank records or an independent audit report, claims of fund mismanagement and illicit cash withdrawals remained baseless.
He emphasised that financial transactions alone do not indicate wrongdoing unless backed by forensic investigation.
“For clarity, the $20.467 million was converted into ₦6.26 billion and credited by the CBN to Osun Government’s account. The CBN records confirm this,” he explained.
He maintained that governance should prioritise truth and due process, not political retribution. He challenged Adeleke’s administration to present evidence in court if credible.
“Oyetola’s legacy is one of responsible leadership. No politically motivated accusations can erase his achievements,” he added.
Olabisi highlighted Mr Oyetola’s achievements, including upgrading 332 primary healthcare centres and rehabilitating General Hospital in Ejigbo Local Government.
He noted that Oyetola also built a world-class 120-bed ward at the State Specialist Hospital, Asubiaro, and improved medical facilities across Osun.
