The Ogun State Government has officially and firmly debunked widely circulating social media reports alleging that cabinet members and top political appointees are forced to prostrate before Governor Dapo Abiodun during official meetings and state executive council sessions. In a strongly worded public statement released by the state’s communications unit, the government completely dismissed the viral narrative as a ridiculous, highly malicious fabric of falsehood engineered by political detractors to diminish the professional integrity and progressive image of the administration. The official statement clarified that the Ogun State executive council operates under the highest standards of modern corporate governance, mutual intellectual respect, and absolute professionalism, emphasizing that traditional gestures of total obeisance like prostrating are never demanded or practiced within the formal workspace. Authorities uniquely noted that while Governor Abiodun deeply values cultural heritage and Yoruba traditions in private settings, administrative interactions remain strictly institutional, urging digital creators and opposition blogs to cross-check facts before publishing sensationalized stories designed to mislead the general public. As the official rebuttal trends across regional news forums, political analysts have labeled the viral controversy a classic example of calculated digital distraction, while government loyalists maintain that the administration remains fully focused on delivering its infrastructure mandates rather than engaging in petty political theater.
