Pdp Rep Faults Adelekes Petition To Efcc, Apologises To Oyetola

In a shocking twist, Oluwole Oke, a lawmaker representing Obokun/Oriade federal constituency of Osun State in the House of Representatives, has apologised to former governor Gboyega Oyetola over a fraud petition written by Governor Ademola Adeleke to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Oke, who is in the same Peoples Democratic Party PDP as Adeleke, the lawmaker, faulted the Osun State Governments petition to the anti-graft agency.

Recall that in March 2025, the Osun State Government, through one of its lawyers, Pelumi Olajengbesi, petitioned the EFCC to investigate the immediate past governor and current Minister of Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, over the alleged misappropriation of a 20m World Bank health grant.

The government also accused Oyetola of money laundering, financial misconduct and violations of the Public Procurement Act in the disbursement of the grant meant for health sector improvements in the state.

The state government also accused Oyetola of money laundering, alleging that the funds were funnelled through the Osun chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria between January and October 2022.
