The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for an investigation into the Chief of Staff to the Osun State Governor, Mr. Kazeem Akinleye, over allegations of contract fraud.

In a statement, APC spokesperson Mr. Kola Olabisi urged Governor Ademola Adeleke to refer Akinleye to the Code of Conduct Bureau for investigation. The party argues that the allegations are serious enough to warrant a probe and has called for either the Code of Conduct Bureau or the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to look into the matter.
The APC’s demand for an investigation comes despite the government’s defense, which states that Akinleye had already resigned from the company before his appointment as Chief of Staff. The government’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, emphasized that Akinleye should not be held responsible for the company’s business operations, as he was not involved in any board meetings or discussions regarding the contract in question.
Rasheed dismissed the allegations as a distraction and reaffirmed that the ongoing prosecution of former top officials from the previous administration will continue. He claimed that the APC is trying to divert attention from the results of a forensic investigation into contract management under the previous government, which has implicated several high-ranking officials.
