Ogun State Attorney General, Akingbolahan Adeniran, has refuted a report that he is leaving the Dapo Abiodun cabinet due to ‘massive corruption’.
According to him, although he is leaving, it is not because of any corrupton.
Rather, he says, he is quitting for personal reasons.
He explains in a statement:
I Resigned from Ogun State Cabinet for Personal Reasons
– Attorney General
“My attention has been drawn to some online news publications purporting to provide reasons for my resignation from the Ogun State Government as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.
While it is true that on 8 November 2021, I formally notified His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, MFR, the Governor of the State, of my decision to resign from the cabinet, I must state that contrary to the online news publications, my reasons for resigning are purely personal.
I am not aware of any “massive corruption” in the Administration and I am indeed very proud of what we have been able to achieve in the administration of justice over the past two years.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with such an amazing group of administrators, technocrats, and experts in various fields of endeavour.
I have learnt a lot from you all and pray that God will continue to use you to improve the lives of the good people of Ogun State.”
