The claim of the Osun State Government that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, has not collected Security Vote since assumption of office in 2022 has been disputed by the audited financial statement of the state, Sahara Reporters reported
SaharaReporters saw that between 2023 and September 2024, the sum of N2.6 billion was recorded as security votes expenditure by the state.
In 2023, it spent N2 billion for service votes and another N684 million between January and September, 2024.
While the state government says “security votes should be distinguished from security services”, it spent a different money of N1.1 billion on security services between January and September, 2024 and another N527 million in 2023.
