The gossip that politician, Rotimi Makinde, became broke following a colourful and classy wedding ceremony he held at Maicom Gulf, Ada, Osun State, has persisted despite reactions from his media aide, Sanya Ojo, to the contrary.
People, who claim to be in the know, insists that he is indeed broke because of the cost of his recent wedding, coupled with about 80 cars, which he bought for people to show appreciation for their loyalty.
According to them, this was one of the reasons he opted for Obudu Cattle Ranch in Cross Rivers State, for his honeymoon.
The rumour started following allegations that people, who supplied food, drinks and other necessities at the wedding, were pestering the man for the balance of their money.
Not even the statement released by Makinde’s media personnel, Sanya Ojo, has helped matters, as the speculation is spreading fast.
The statement reads: “It’s misinformation and unfortunate for any discerning mind to nurse the insinuation that a trained and successful accountant in the person of Hon. Makinde could get involved in anything that could lead to financial recklessness. A thorough businessman, Hon. Makinde, couldn’t have in anyway spent beyond his budget or go aborrowing as being peddled by mischievous enemies. Moreover, it is more expensive to be in Obudu Cattle Ranch than going abroad for such things.”
A source close to Makinde said the politician was distraught when the story hit town because he was worried about his image.
