Omokri earlier argued that Osun still needs to make progress regarding revenue generation under the Governor Adeleke-led administration.
Kosile Stella, an aide to Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke on Revenue Matters, has criticised social media critic, Reno Omokri, over his remarks on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) in the South-West state.
Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan claimed that Afrobeats megastar Wizkid’s latest album ‘Morayo’ generated more revenue in two weeks than Osun IGR in the whole of 2023.
He quoted data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), which showed that Osun generated the lowest IGR in the South-West, trailing Ekiti even though the latter has fewer mineral resources, half of Osun’s population and two-thirds of its landmass.
He said Governor Adeleke would have done better to improve the state’s revenue if he had focused more on governance than dancing at every opportunity.
Please Fact-Check me: In two weeks, Wizkid’s Morayo album has generated more revenue than the total Internally Generated Revenue raised by Osun State in 2023,” Omokri wrote in an X post last weekend.
