Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke, has informed that his legal team will withdraw the lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) regarding the freezing of the state government's bank account. The decision came shortly after Adeleke secured his re-election as the governor following the August 15 election.
When asked about his stance on the political disputes and the EFCC case, Adeleke expressed gratitude towards President Bola Tinubu, stating that he had instructed the Attorney General to drop the case.
