Oyinlola Tackles Osun Government Over Wife’s NGO Building.

Former Governor of Osun
State Prince Olagunsoye
Oyinlola, and now national
secretary of Nigeria's ruling
party, the PDP, has claimed
that the Women and Children
Development Initiative
Foundation (WOCDIF) in
Osogbo belongs to his wife,
Mrs Omolola Oyinlola.
The WOCDIF building reports
say has been taken over by
the state government.
Speaking while purportedly
receiving 750 party
supporters who defected
from Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) to the PDP, a
claim debunked by the ruling
CAN, Oyinlola said the
foundation was a non-
governmental organisation
(NGO) and was funded with
private donations.
Mr Basiru Ajibola, the state's
Commissioner for Regional
Integration and Special
Duties, at a press conference
recently however said the
centre was built with
government money.
Oyinlola argued however
that the centre was an
initiative of his wife and not
a government project.
Oyinlola, who left office in
November 2010 after the
Court of Appeal in Ibadan
pronounced Rauf
Aregbesola as the duly-
elected governor, said he
was yet to get his
entitlements.
In a reaction, Mr Kunle
Oyatomi, ACN's Director of
Publicity, Research and
Strategy, faulted what he
called the purported
defection of the party's
members to the PDP.
"No true ACN member will
leave the party for the PDP,"
he said
