Adeleke speaks on forged school certificate

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, says he did not forge his school certificate or testimonial.

Adeleke, while reacting to the judgement of the Osun State Election Petition Tribunal on his certificate, said the alleged forgery was related to an error on his school testimonial which bears Osun instead of Oyo State.

The governor made this known via a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.

The governor’s spokesman noted that the alleged forgery was an attempt to damage the reputation of Adeleke.

Rasheed stated: “The Issue of forgery has to do with an error on school testimonial which bears Osun instead of Oyo State. Osun State was part of Oyo State when Governor Adeleke completed his high school education in 1981.

“The issuing school testified before Court of Appeal in 2018, that it was their error, which has nothing to do with Governor Adeleke,

“The Court of Appeal ruled that there was no forgery and exonerated Governor Adeleke of any forgery.

“The public should know that Governor Adeleke did not forge this testimonial or any certificate.

“This was an attempt to damage the reputation of Governor Adeleke.

“The Tribunal Chairman should explain how he arrived at his opinion when the Court of Appeal has cleared Governor Adeleke of any forgery.”
