Oyinlola: Vehicle Was a Statutory Osun Benefit, Not a Gift From Adeleke

Oyinlola: Vehicle Was a Statutory Osun Benefit, Not a Gift From Adeleke

Former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola has rejected claims that Governor Ademola Adeleke personally bought him a vehicle. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Oyinlola said the vehicle was provided by the Osun State Government under a law covering benefits for former governors. He said the law provides for an official vehicle to be replaced every four years. Oyinlola, who left office 16 years ago, argued that the entitlement is a statutory obligation and not a personal gift from the current governor. The disagreement comes amid heightened political exchanges ahead of the Osun governorship election.

Does the Osun law clearly spell out vehicles as benefits for former governors, and is that information publicly accessible?

Exactly, the key thing is whether the statute is clear and open for everyone to check.

The disagreement seems to be about framing: a personal gift sounds very different from a benefit provided under state law.

Even if it is statutory, the public can still question the timing, cost, and transparency around providing such benefits.

Osun officials should publish the relevant law, eligibility rules, and expenditure details so the issue can be judged on records.
