In a statement by the Osun state Commissioner for Information, Kolapo Alimi, the government contended that “the step becomes necessary to sanitise the governance space and ensure that politicking and governance take place under an atmosphere of responsibility, decency and honesty.” He stressed that the committee is to apply relevant sections of the Cybercrime Act of 2015 as operational clauses to ensure all stakeholders operate within the law in the exercise and enjoyment of their fundamental human rights.

The statement, endorsed by party’s director of media and information, Kola Olabisi, reads in part: “The plan was an afterthought aimed at planting fears in the mind of patriotic citizens who are bent on knowing why Governor Adeleke chose to award over N50 billion public road contracts to cybercafe operators, fertilizer distributors and cronies with no technical and professional competence to execute road projects.
