In a formal statement released today, January 15, 2026, Hon. Akingbaso addressed a viral WhatsApp status posted by Small Alhaji, which alleged that Akingbaso had publicly suggested H.E. Agboola Ajayi would die to pave the way for his own ascension to the governorship. Akingbaso categorically denied the claim, labeling it a complete fabrication and a dangerous, childish lie.
The lawmaker emphasized that accusations involving a person’s life are too grave to be treated as mere gossip and demanded that Hon. Adefisoye provide clear, verifiable evidence of the statement within 48 hours. Failing the provision of proof, Akingbaso has called for a public retraction and an apology for the attempt to damage his reputation.
While urging his supporters to remain calm and law-abiding, Hon. Akingbaso stated that he remains focused on his service to the people and will not be distracted by reckless politicking. He concluded by noting that he is prepared to take legal action to defend his integrity if the matter is not addressed within the specified timeframe.
