The Osun State Government yesterday alleged that it was a false alarm raised by an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Yomi Aliu, “who was said to have turned himself into an unsolicited trumpet and a puppet of the state Chief Judge.”

In a statement signed and issued by Mallam Olawale Rasheed, spokesperson to state governor, the state government noted that: “It is not surprising that Mr. Aliu to have cooked up a false story. It is customary of him the same way he did during the state governorship election petition. He had raised a false alarm and
unjustifiable insinuation that there was a serious security threat in the state. This nonetheless turned out to be unfounded.”
The statement read: “It is unfortunate that a supposed learned senior lawyer can go that low on the path of propaganda and unnecessary sensation without exercising any iota of decorum and dignity.
“For the sake of clarity, the present administration enjoys a very warm and harmonious relationship with the judiciary as against the pseudo acrimony being peddled by Aliu.
“Governor Ademola Adeleke is paying special attention to the welfare of judicial officers in the state as against the ridicule to which the past administration unleashed on the Judges by irregular nonpayment of their arrears of allowances and by not attending to the pecuniary benefits of the retired Judges.
“Members of the public need to be informed that there is no controversy on the processes of disengagement or otherwise, even with respect to the old and new law on the retirement age for Judges of superior courts. All insinuations in the hatchet job are false and figments of the imagination of the propagandist.
“Governor Adeleke as a due process leader is committed to the full observance of the law without fear or favour and with due reference to impartial application for retirement or extension of tenure of public officials.”
The statement added: “The controversial senior lawyer is known for propaganda and undue sensation as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He is therefore to be ignored and not given any serious attention.
“He is also warned not to drag our noble Chief Judge into his infamous political agenda. In Osun State, all arms of government are in deep harmony for the good of the state.”
