The Chief Consultant on Media to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, on Wednesday, said the allegation of diversion of local
He asserted that contrary to the false claim, the Governor had augmented several shortfalls in allocations to Local Governments from the Federation Account to the tune of N17 billion from the inception of his administration in 2019 till date.
Akinmade, copiously reeled out the sequence of allocations to local governments since the inception of Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration in 2019, indicating a series of interventions by the Governor to augment several shortfalls, occasioned by shortfall in federal allocations, contrary to the claim of diversion by Adedayo.
“The government continued to augment these allocations to ensure that workers in the local governments were not left out from regular payment of salaries, until recently when the new administration came on board in May and there was the removal of subsidy and the allocation improved to the range of N4.5 billion, ” Akinmade disclosed.
“I later came to realize that Wale Adedayo is one of those people the Governor loved so much. He first made him his media Consultant before supporting him to become the Chairman of his local government. He is one of those who can call the Governor three times a day.
