The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajomobi has denied the
allegation that Oyo Government has sold its iconic Government College and Queen’s
College to a Lebanese consortium. He labeled the story a complete false and
concocted from the writers imagination. He said this in a statement signed by
his Special Adviser, Communication and Strategu, Yomi Layinka. Continue to read
statement…
"I recently noticed that some fellow posted, and caused
to be circulated, a false story to the effect that Oyo State has sold its
iconic Government College and Queen's College to some Lebanese consortium.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Not only is the
story a concoction of an obviously sick imagination, it is one of the most
irresponsible and egregious fantasies I've read in recent memory.
What surprises and worries me at the same time is that one
of the falsehood peddlers has the prefix of 'Dr' proudly pasted before her
name. If the title is fake, then all bets are cancelled. But if s/he actually
earned that degree, then the awarding institution must be sorely ashamed of
what odium its awardee has brought upon whatever reputation it ever had.
For, what manner of an educated mind would go public and
global with such a patent falsehood without the elementary caution of checking
the facts behind a supposition.
The only rational reading of these fellows' motive is to
conclude that they have been recruited by some interest group(s) to malign the
Oyo State government and to mislead the general public for some obviously
predetermined and clearly evil purpose.
It should be noted that the appropriate legal sanctions will
soon be brought to bear upon this and similarly incorrigible liars.
In the meant time, and for the records, I simply wish to say
that the story is a blatant LIE: Oyo State has not, and does not intend to sell
any of its public schools. Period.
All alumni of both Government College and Queen's College,
Ibadan should please disregard the lie and remain rest assured that the Oyo
State Government remains committed to maintaining and improving the brand
values of those iconic institutions."
