The statement added that the Provost wanted to score some political point in portraying himself as the brain behind the launching of the book and the distribution of the books to students of the college free of charge.
Balogun indicated that it was collective efforts of the Lecturers of the college that made the book possible, not Kiadese or any other persons, and it was funded by TETFund to distribute the books free of charge to the students of the college.
The statement indicated that Kiadese was a members of Allied Peoples’ Moment (APM), card carrying of the party which he was committed millions of naira to their campaign during the administration of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, now parading himself as lover of All Progressive Congress (APC) and the incumbent governor.
The statement further alleged that the book launching which slated on Thursday 7th of November, was aimed of fooling the visitors as Kiadese was brain behind the maiden edition of the book, but demanding from the governor to ask Kiadese where he sited the Printing Press.
