Apesin Jide Bewaji, an Osogbo-based businessman and Chairman, Atlantis Group, has described as mischievous or mistake of identity a recent story linking him to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Osun State.
Responding to a claim listing his name as one of the attendees of the party's inauguration in Osogbo recently, Bewaji said he wasn't in the country talk less of being at the said gathering.
The astute businessman affirmed his status of being apolitical with respect to all political leaders within and outside Osun State but doesn't belong to any political party.
The disclaimer was contained in a press statement personally signed by Bewaji and made available to journalists on Wednesday.
According to Bewaji: "My attention has been drawn to a report listing my name among those who attended the inauguration of the African Democratic Congress in Osogbo yesterday.
"I have been receiving disturbing calls from people who want to confirm my participation in the political gathering.
"I wish to categorically state that I was not part of the gathering, I am currently out of the country, and therefore could not have been present at the event.
"For the avoidance of doubt, I do not belong to any political bloc or political party, i remain strictly apolitical while maintaining respect for all political leaders within and outside Osun State
"This disclaimer is issued to inform the general public that I had no involvement. whatsoever in the ADC gathering.
"The inclusion of my name may have been done mischievously or may have resulted from confusion with someone who bears a similar name."
