The Ogun State Government has said Bidemi Rufai did not bring any business concern to the State during his short stint as a Senior Special Assistant on Housing to Governor Dapo Abiodun.

An online news medium had reported that Governor Abiodun was paying $50,000 to Rufai each time he introduced people to him along with monthly salary of $2,000.

The government however described it as outrageous and baseless.  In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Kunle Somorin, said Rufai never had any close relationship with the Governor, prior to his appointment.

According to him, Rufai, like other aides of the Governor, was recommended from his ward for the appointment, and not because of any alleged special favour offered to the Governor during his gubernatorial campaigns in 2019.

It added that Rufai was nominated for appointment barely three months before he was arrested
