Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Spokesperson to the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has clarified that Chief Mrs Titilayo Adeleke will be receiving the First of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu to the State today.
Making the clarification on Monday, Rasheed said the other flier with the name of the second wife of the Governor, Erelu Ngozi Adeleke was fake.
He said, “The attention of Mr Governor has been drawn to fake news in circulation about conflict over who among the Governor’s two wives is to host the First Lady of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu on her official visit to the State tomorrow.
“For clarification, Chief (Mrs) Titilola Adeleke, the First Lady of Osun State, is officially hosting the First Lady of the Republic tomorrow in line with the directive of Mr Governor. There is no confusion on this official position.
“The flier circulating purportedly from the Office of Erelu Ngozi Adeleke,the wife of the State Governor, is fake news and the person behind it was nabbed and questioned last night.
“The said flier was never authorized by Erelu Ngozi Adeleke. The material was manufactured and shared by elements who wanted to sow discord and create an atmosphere of confusion.
“The state government under Governor Ademola Adeleke is set to receive the First Lady and her team in Osun State.
“In the words of Mr Governor, “I am elated to host our dear First Lady and my old colleague at the Senate. Our people must troop out to welcome her.
“She deserves a rousing welcome for endorsing Osun as the location for the alternative school for girls”
