Legal professional, Wale Omolegbon on Wednesday alleged that Kelvin Solomon Olaolu, the Senior Special Assistant on Students affairs to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa was behind the petition written against him over alleged cyberbullying.
Governor Aiyedatiwa has distanced himself from the petition leading to the scrutiny and possible prosecution of Barrister Omolegbon over alleged cyberbullying.
Aiyedatiwa, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, maintained that he neither authorised nor influenced any move to petition the police against Omolegbon or any other critic of his administration.
“The Governor did not commission anyone to petition the police against any citizen for criticising him or his administration.
In a video dropped on his Facebook page, Omolegbon said Aiyedatiwa’s SSA on student affairs claimed the governor sent him to write the petition.
“I want to say this one quickly. I saw that the governor said that he knows nothing about this. He didn’t send anybody to write this petition to take up this matter.
“Let me say I take him by his word and I believe him that he knows nothing about it because I always like taking people by their word.
“I would like to tell the governor that yes, I agree that I believe you sir but in case you may not know sir, in case anybody nobody tells you who actually wrote that petition against me, who came to the police station to the commissioner of police office to say yes, the governor sent me, It is this guy, your SSA on student affairs. I think his name is Olaolu Solomon.
“I think Olaolu SSA on student affairs. That is the man. He came to the CP office to say that the governor sent me.
“So I want to believe that in administrative procedures, when your boss did not send you an errand , you go on your own volition to say your boss sent you. I think he has an implication in the administrative procedure.
“So I want to wait to see the action that the governor will take on this. That’s why I have to disclose the identity to the governor in case the governor did not know.
“In case nobody tells the governor, I’m telling the governor now Mr governor that it’s your SSA on student affairs, Juan Solomon Adeolu, who went to the Cp’s office that said the governor sent me to represent him, to complain on his behalf.
“ I don’t feel pain because when I made that video, if you look at what I said, I said they can come and arrest me. So if you’re an activist, you should always expect this, that every action you take, if people who have evil inclinations, the result will be that they will fight you back.
“That’s why if you want to fight corruption, be ready that corruption will fight back. They will fight back. So I was expecting that. So it’s not a thing I wasn’t expecting. If you look at my video, last one I did, I said they can come and arrest me because I know that would be what will happen. So it’s what I expected.
“The only thing I don’t expect, the only thing I didn’t expect that happened yesterday was that somebody will write a charge and I said I accused the governor of having an extramarital affair, which I never said.
“They put in that charge that what I said insinuates that the governor is having an extramarital affair. Insinuation, that is speculation. That means they are reading my mind and the popular saying is that no act can read the man’s construction from the eyes.
“What I didn’t say, they are saying insinuating. It’s them that are insinuating that. I never insinuated that. I never said that. You can go back and watch my video.
That is the painful side of it that if you want to penalize me for whatever statement that I made, come out.
Penalize me for it and I will defend myself. Writing in the charge what I never said. No, no, no, no, no, no. That shouldn’t be.There should be a punishment for that.
“And I’m going to wait for that repercussion. That’s why I’m mentioning his name so that Mr. Governor could know.“
