Osun State Government on Friday kept mum as the opposition Peoples Democratic Party berated Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for absenting self from the Southern Nigeria Governors’ Forum meeting held in Delta State earlier in the week.
Governors from the southern part of the country had at the meeting discussed issues affecting the region and subsequently banned open grazing in the region. They also demanded restructuring of the country and the convocation of a national dialogue, among other issues.
But Osun State governor, who was said to be in Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj, did not attend the meeting and reportedly did not send his deputy, Benedict Alabi, who had been in charge since Oyetola embarked on the trip to the Holy Land.
