Governor Adeleke further declared that former Governor Oyetola *must explain how the N331 Billion borrowed in the name of Osun State was expended, with no obvious infrastructural development to justify this huge debt, adding that Oyetola must explain how the N18 Billion Bridge Loan taken after he lost the election on July 16, 2022, was expended*.
