The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has admitted that Senator Ademola Adeleke promised to make private jet available for his use if he becomes the governor of the state.
The monarch, however, said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
governorship aspirant did not promise him private jet as a gift.
“On the controversial “Private Jet”, it is a common knowledge that the Adeleke family has a fleet of private planes which could have been the basis for the governorship hopeful to have lightly said: Royal Father, private jet you may need for your trips are readily available,” the Director of Media and Public Affairs of the Ooni of Ife’s Palace, Mr. Moses Olafare, said in a statement issued in Ile-Ife.
Olafare admonished the general public to disregard a viral report that stated that Adeleke, during a courtesy visit on Wednesday promised to procure an aircraft for the Ooni.
The Press Secretary said the politician’s speech was twisted by some writers with hidden intentions, including to drag the respected stool of the Ooni in the mud.
Olafare added that Ooni’s singular request was for a credible election, devoid of crisis for the betterment of all, which the PDP chieftain agreed to.
According to him, it is the usual character of all political office aspirants and party’s candidates without exception, including the visiting Senator Adeleke, to make several promises like the reconstruction of roads in Ile-Ife and completion of the Osun State Airport project at Ido-Osun, among others.
“Sadly, these developmental bullet points were mischievously ignored in the viral news reports,” he said.
