Ero Arike: Addressing Falsehoods with Facts
In an era where misinformation spreads faster than truth, it is unfortunate, but not surprising that I find my principal Gov.Ademola Adeleke the subject of baseless and absurd accusations by Alhaja Yusuf Falilat Arike, Ero Arike.
While we prefer to focus energy on meaningful endeavors rather than responding to sensationalized distortions, I cannot allow blatant falsehoods to go unchallenged.
This statement is not only to refute the misleading claims made against my principal and generality of the Adeleke family but also to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency, and truth. Those who peddle fabrications may hope to sow doubt, but facts remain our strongest defense against deception.
It’s awful seeing an outburst where she claimed providing significant financial aid to a family whose legacy and financial prowess is well known across the western region and the country at large. More deteriorating to say it was a bargain of a deal. There was no deal and the Adeleke family signed no pact with her.
There was no financial inducement for an elected and appointed position. The Adeleke family is well blessed and therefore needed no such inducement. The family always emphasizes adherence to rules and party constitution. Is it not absurd to claim to have bought Boripe council position for N5m from a billionaire Adeleke family?
Losing out in a party race is normal for our party ideology honors transparency, truth and commitment to the development of both the party and state affairs at large. All interests must submit to party rules and regulations.
Madam Ero Arike expected the Adeleke family to breach party rules to impose her husband as the party candidate. The family said No, internal democracy must prevail. That is the only sin of the Adeleke family.
Falsehoods may be loud, but the truth endures. Those who resort to baseless accusations and sensationalism do so out of desperation, not credibility. We stand by our record, our values, and the facts, all of which speak louder than any fabricated narrative.
We will not be distracted by attempts to undermine our reputation, nor allow misinformation to take root unchallenged. Our focus remains on meaningful work and progress, not on entertaining baseless claims.
Mama (Alhaja Ero Arike) is only suffering from her inexperience with internal democracy and that’s what led to the uncontrollable outburst by mama. With time, mama will overcome this challenge.
To those who seek the truth, I encourage careful scrutiny of the facts. And to those who manufacture deceit—let this be a reminder: integrity always outlasts dishonesty.
