Osun APC Demands Adeleke’s Probe Over ₦13 Billion Payroll Fraud by press9jatv(op): 8:21am On Feb 21

Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate the alleged payroll fraud that has pitched the State Government and a consulting firm, Sally Tibbot Limited.

The party said the probe is necessary to determine the extent of culpability of all individuals involved.

Addressing journalists in Osogbo on Friday regarding the buck-passing between the state government and CEO of Sally Tibbot, Sa’adat Bakrin-Ottun on the refusal to implement the report of staff audit exercise the company carried out onbehalf of the Adeleke administration, Osun APC spokesperson, Mr Kola Olabisi, expressed concern Governor Ademola Adeleke’s handling of the alleged payroll fraud.

Olabisi further said, “It is particularly troubling that the audit findings were reportedly presented to Dr Deji Adeleke, a member of the Adeleke family, while the elected governor appeared sidelined like a troubled mendicant in his oversized knickerbocker. This development raises questions about the structure of authority and accountability within the current administration.

“One is compelled to ask: what official role does Dr Deji Adeleke play in the verification of state government documents, especially having publicly distanced himself from partisan politics in the past? The people of Osun State deserve clarity on this matter.

“We call on statutory anti-corruption agencies, particularly the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC) to thoroughly investigate the alleged payroll fraud and determine the extent of culpability of all individuals involved, especially Dr Deji Adeleke and Alhaji Kazeem Akinleye.”

Rising in Adeleke’s defence, Osun State PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, said it was revealing that the APC has become the loudest defender of a consultant whose figures crumbled under simple verification.

Bisi in a statement said, “Birds of the same feather, indeed, flock together. The people of Osun can now clearly see the political partnership between a discredited party and a questionable report designed to discredit a performing government.

“If there is any fraud to be investigated, it is the legacy payroll mess inherited from the past government, the very system now being sanitised through reforms introduced by the Adeleke administration.

“We therefore challenge the APC to stop the propaganda and instead present verifiable evidence, if any, to anti-corruption agencies rather than staging media calisthenics.
Osun people are politically enlightened beyond some beer parlour craftings. They understand that the noise of the opposition grows louder whenever transparent governance exposes the rot of the past.”

The PDP reiterated its full confidence in Adeleke’s commitment to accountability and welcomes any credible investigation that will permanently uncover the truth

The Adeleke administration has strongly dismissed these claims as fake news $ politically motivated blackmail ahead of the August 2026 governorship election. The Governor has stated he is "elated" and open to any investigation by the EFCC or ICPC, maintaining that he has nothing to hide.

Who will help you recover the money stolen by APC governments of Aregbesola and Oyetola? Money that should have paid salaries that were owed to civil servants during 12 wasted A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC years.

This is an unprecedented embarrassment to our dear state. As a concern citizen of the state, the government should quickly address below concerns.
1. If the Osun Government knew that it had the capacity to conduct a re-verification exercise, why did it engage Sally Tibbot to conduct the initial verification exercise in the first place?

2. Why did Sally Tibbot present its report to Dr Deji Adeleke and the Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, instead of presenting it to the State Executive Council?

3. What is the Government’s basis for appointing the Governor’s Chief of Staff, Hon Kazeem Akinleye, as the Chairman of the Action Committee tasked with reviewing and implementing Sally Tibbot’s report? Why was the Commissioner for Finance or the Accountant General, both of whom clearly have the competence for such a sensitive assignment, not appointed?

4. Why has the Osun State Government failed to implement the Automated Payroll Administration System (APAS), which it paid Sally Tibbot about N78,000,000.00 (Seventy-eight million naira) to build? If the Government now believes that Sally Tibbot lacked the competence to build a credible platform, why did it engage Sally Tibbot to build the platform in the first place?

5. During her interview on Channels TV, the CEO of Sally Tibbot stated that one of the findings in the audit report is that one bank account with a BVN Number was receiving the salaries for 962 individuals monthly. Is this correct?

6. During her interview on Channels TV, the CEO of Sally Tibbot stated that one of the findings in the audit report is that another bank account with a BVN Number was receiving the salaries for 5,616 individuals. Is this correct?

7. During her interview on Channels TV, the CEO of Sally Tibbot stated that one of the findings in the audit report is that some individuals were being paid salaries multiple times every month. Is this correct?

8. During her interview on Channels TV, the CEO of Sally Tibbot stated that one of the findings in the audit report is that the 12,000 workers who were previously sacked by Governor Ademola Adeleke were only sacked on paper, while their salaries were being drawn illegally. Is this correct?

9. Did the State Executive Council ever debate Sally Tibbot’s report at any of its meetings?

10. Why did the Osun State Governor wait until 20 February 2026, over fifteen months after receiving the report, and only after the CEO of Sally Tibbot’s interview with Channels TV, before forwarding a petition to the EFCC?
11. Honourable Alimi confirm on Channels TV that over 500 ghost workers were actually discovered. Can the government make names and account numbers those involved public.

Osun government inadvertently engaged a consultant working for the opposition party to audit its payroll. Now the consultant is playing politics with the audit. When you ignorantly engage your enemies to work for you, they will definitely work against you.
