There was fire outbreak in the office of Rauf Aregbesola , governor of Osun State on Monday evening. But reports say no document was lost, nor did any staff sustain injury. The tenure of Aregbesola expires in November this year. Already party primaries are being conducted to choose candidates for the election in September.
A statement by Adelani Baderinwa, commissioner for information and strategy in the state said the fire was due to power surge. He added, “It is heartening to note that not a single document, or equipment was destroyed and nobody was hurt.
We reiterate that every document in the governor’s office is intact.” It is certain that he wants the fact noted that no document was lost.
Perhaps to ensure that no insinuations are made to the effect that efforts were being made to cover up some fraud, Baderinwa states repeatedly that no document was lost. Though short the statement also indicates, ”
It is not a serious fire outbreak.
The fire mainly affected the office of the Governor alone; no other office is affected.”
