"The talk, which is by and large intentionally spread to give the state government an awful name and to play undue legislative issues with the dead, at first stopped by the method of web based life tattle, which picked up footing to pull in the consideration of conventional media outfits.

"A few media outfits connected with the Media Office of the Governor of Oyo State to make enquiries on this obvious deception on Saturday.

"Leave it alone expressed unmistakably that the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has assumed no job at all in causing any postpone at all with respect to the entombment of his prompt antecedent, Senator Ajimobi.

"The reality of the situation is that the family, through an intermediary, moved toward the state government and looked for endorsement to cover the late representative on a plot of land at Agodi GRA, which is as of now under prosecution.

"Unexpectedly, it was a similar previous Governor Ajimobi who organized the lawful activity.

"Senator Seyi Makinde had no way out than to express the realities as they are to the emissaries and turn down the solicitation.

"It is to be noticed that the standards managing land use in Government Reservation Areas (GRA) deny the entombment of bodies in such areas as Oluyole Estate and Agodi GRA.

"Let us additionally put on record that though the family didn't follow the set down conventions in passing data on the ailment and inevitable death of Senator Ajimobi, Governor Makinde ignored all that and coordinated the full collaboration of the legislature with the family on this issue.

"It can just add up to a mischievous lie to imply that the occupant government in Oyo State endeavored to block the internment of the quick past senator."
