“I am highly disappointed in you” —Lanlehin tells Arapaja

Oyo former lawmaker, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin has reacted to comments made by a former Oyo State Deputy Governor, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, on Lagelu 96.7fm’s popular sociopolitical programme, Bosenlo where he said he hoarded coalition agreements with makinde from other ADC Chieftains. 

Arapaja had on Saturday claimed that Lanlehin switched off his phone for two months and failed to disclose that Makinde offered him anything, adding that he shortlisted his pastor and personal assistant for slot.

In a statement made available to Mouthpiece NGR by his media bureau, Lanlehin said the allegations leveled against him are nothing but a contraption of barefaced lies, accumulated untruths and phony details.

“I am highly disappointed that Ambassador Arapaja, whom hitherto he held in high esteem and who had once held high political positions in the country, could descend to such very low, dirty and muddy level, all in a hurried and childish bid to satisfy his new paymaster,” he said. 

The statement reads: “The attention of Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Solan), has been drawn to comments made by a former Oyo State Deputy Governor, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, on Lagelu 96.7fm’s popular sociopolitical programme, Bosenlo, wherein he levelled several mind-boggling, spurious and unfounded allegations, especially as regards the coalition arrangement which birthed the current government of Oyo State.”

“While those comments are nothing but a contraption of barefaced lies, accumulated untruths and phony details, Senator Lanlehin is highly disappointed that Ambassador Arapaja, whom hitherto he held in high esteem and who had once held high political positions in the country, could descend to such very low, dirty and muddy level, all in a hurried and childish bid to satisfy his new paymaster. How low can someone go for the lure of filthy lucre?”

“All the same, instead of offering reactions to these laughable, comical and pedestrian comments, and then turning the matter to a needless back and forth, which the accuser and his gang would be delighted with, Senator Lanlehin wishes to leave Ambassador Arapaja and his ilks, to the judgement of their conscience, if they still have one.”
