Osun State government has denied allegations of N11bn looting, responding to claims made by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The state’s administration emphasized that there was no evidence of financial misconduct during the August 15 gubernatorial election. The EFCC had previously alleged that public funds were misused in the electoral process.
The governor’s office stated that all financial transactions were transparent and in line with legal procedures. Officials stressed that the election was conducted without any irregularities. The controversy has sparked discussions about the integrity of public finances in Nigerian states.
The EFCC has called for an independent audit to verify the claims. Meanwhile, the state government has urged the commission to provide concrete evidence before taking further action. The situation highlights ongoing concerns about financial accountability in Nigerian politics.
The dispute comes amid heightened scrutiny of electoral processes and public spending in the country. As the debate continues, both sides remain cautious about the implications for governance and transparency.
