I didn’t reject Seyi Makinde’s bid to renovate Ogbomoso palace – Soun

The Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Ajagungbade III, has denied the content of a letter purportedly authorised by him, which rejected the financial contribution of the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde in the planned renovation of the monarch’s palace vandalised by hoodlums during the #EndSARS protest on October 10.

The Soun, who spoke with the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Seyi Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, said that he did not authorise the said letter in circulation. “If your boss sees any such letter, he should ignore it, because I didn’t ask anyone to write such a letter,”

Adisa quoted the Soun as saying.

“The Soun said that he never authorised anyone to issue a letter on his behalf and that if any such letter surfaces, some persons must have forged his signature.
