The tenure of a former Minister of Police, Jelili Adesiyan, under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is under scrutiny by a senior member of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osun state..
The Senior Special Assistant to Governor, Adeleke, on Bureau of Social Services, Akintunde Bello Sheriff, took a swipe at the former Minister describing him as the worst the state has ever produced.
Bello, in a Facebook post, was reacting to Adesiyan’s comment during an interview with media personality Desmond Obilo.
The All Progressives Congress, (APC) chieftain had, during the interview, claimed that Adeleke had done nothing and would lose the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
However, the governor’s aide, in the post, described the former Minister as “an error of history in public service”, whose only record is his penchant for treachery and betrayal against his Benefactors.
He wrote, “Several Men, including a woman, have held the position of Ministerial from Osun State. The people of Ede felt the impact of Lanre Babalola as Minister for Power.
“I was in Ilesha on multiple occasions at the immigration office where I saw the imprint of Rauf Aregbesola as Minister.
“The Ibodi Ijesha axis felt the performance breeze of Erelu Olusola Obada as Minister for Defence.
Prof Isaac Adewole, as Minister of Health, ensured Osun was able to access the 20 Million USD grant, which the immediate past APC administration of Oyetola evidently shared a lump sum of it to cronies through phoney contracts against established standard practice.
“I am yet to hear, nor see any visible or verifiable achievements of Alhaji Abdul Jelili Adesiyan Jallo as Minister of Police Affairs under President Goodluck Jonathan, not even at his Odeomu community.
“I challenge anyone who knows of any achievements by Jallo anywhere in Osun State whose slot he used to outline such.
“The man was an error of history in public service. He is a tired leg in politics whose only record is his penchant for treachery and betrayal against his Benefactors.”
