Our attention has been drawn to a frivolous writeup circulating on the social media, insinuating a commissioner is lobbying the Hon. Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Salihu Yakubu Danladi through His Excellency, the Deputy Governor Mr. Kayode Alabi over purported procurement of exotic jeeps.We wish to state that such conjecture is not only untrue, but illogical and unreasonable. The writeup in its entirety is malicious and laced with absolute falsehood.The 2020 budget has been passed through a thorough process, duly communicated to the general public, which has all Commissioners and Public/Civil Service Heads defend their respective budgets proposals and no ministry has provision for purchase of vehicle for Hon. Commissioner, provision for purchase of vehicles for all political office holders is made under the Governor’s office.Copy of the approved budget is available on the State Government’s website for public assessment.The Executive and Legislative arms of government in Kwara State have so far, though independent, enjoyed mutual respect and harmonious working relationship in the best interest of the people, a relationship we will continue to sustain to further our course of achieving a greater Kwara.We urge the general public to disregard the innuendos and advice the writer and his/her sponsors to desist from peddling falsehood and misleading the public to avoid being caught by long arm of the law.End.Ibrahim Sheriff .A.S. A., Media to the Hon. Speaker, Kwara state House of Assembly
