The attention of the Honourable Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Oladele Alake has been drawn to a poster that is circulating on social media and across WhatsApp groups where he is positioned as a gubernatorial aspirant in Ekiti State with the inscription ‘Take it Back’.<\/p>\n
The general public is hereby informed that Dr. Alake has no interest to run for governorship election in Ekiti State, either now or in the future.<\/p>\n
The poster in circulation does not have his approval as he does not know the people behind it. It is fake and should be discarded.<\/p>\n
It is unconscionable that the Honourable Minister who is busy with the onerous task of reforming and revamping the Solid Minerals sector in Nigeria, a responsibility committed to him by President Bola Tinubu will leave that to be plotting for an election in Ekiti State.<\/p>\n
The Honourable Minister is a busy man, working tirelessly on how to make the solid minerals sector a major revenue earner for the country and for the sector to create thousands of high paying jobs for Nigerians.<\/p>\n
Dr. Dele Alake is committed to his current national assignment. He is working to transform the solid minerals sector to justify the absolute confidence reposed in him by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
We want to state clearly that the Honourable Minister will not be distracted by the antics of disgruntled elements.<\/p>\n
He supports the current administration of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti and as a proud son of the soil, Dr. Alake will continue to contribute to the growth and progress of Ekiti State.<\/p>\n
