Again, Governor Adeleke Sacks Top Public Official In Osun

Governor of Osun State Senator Ademola Adeleke has suspended Dr. Samson Akinbamide Omobayo Adegoke, Rector of the Osun State College of Technology, Esa Oke.

After the state governor, who was sworn in as the sixth executive governor of Osun on Sunday, issued an executive order, Dr. Adegoke’s suspension took effect.

The nomination of Dr. Adegoke as the institution’s actual rector was made last month, in October, according to Blaze Newz, with the immediate former governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola’s approval.

Additionally, Dr. Tajudeen Adewale Odetayo, who had been serving in an acting capacity for a short while, was named rector of Osun State Polytechnic Iree.

According to Adeleke in his executive order said “My Good People of Osun, since you elected me as your Governor on the 16th of July 2022, which the INEC announced on July 17th 2022, the former Governor, Alh Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola maliciously started putting road blocks to make things difficult and almost impossible for the new administration to serve you.

“Mass employment were carried out without budgetary provisions for salary payments for the new employees; even when the state was struggling to pay salaries and deliver other services.

“Various hurried and criminally backdated Contracts were awarded and again without budgetary provisions.

“Appointments of several Obas were hurriedly done without following due process, just to mention a few.

“All efforts to get the Governor set up a Transition Committee and submit hand-over notes in line with best practices proved abortive.

“It is therefore my desire to ask for your patience and understanding to give my administration a few weeks to review and sort out all the actions and malicious confusions which the immediate past administration has created since July 17th 2022.

“Those actions were indeed vindictive measures against the people of Osun State for voting them out of office”
