The newly inaugurated Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has frozen all government accounts in the state.

Adeleke directed this in his first executive order upon inauguration on Sunday.

Adeleke, in his speech delivered at the inauguration, alleged that the erstwhile governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, carried out some actions “maliciously” after he (Adeleke) won the July 16 governorship election, including “hurried” employments without provisions to sustain them.

He claimed these actions were roadblocks channeled at making things difficult in his administration difficult.

Adeleke also reversed the state name from ‘State of Osun’ to ‘Osun State’, saying the former was alien to the constitution.

“My Good People of Osun, since you elected me as your governor on the July 16, 2022, which the Independent National Electoral Commission announced on July 17, 2022, the former Governor, Alhaji 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 17, 2022. Those actions were indeed vindictive measures against the people of Osun State for voting them out of office,” Adeleke said.

Giving new orders, he said, “Consequently, I hereby issue the following directives which will be backed up with appropriate Executive orders:

“Immediate freezing of all government accounts in banks and other financial institutions;

“Immediate establishment of a panel to carry out an inventory and recover all government asset.

“An immediate establishment of a panel to review all appointments and major decisions of the immediate past administration taken after July 17, 2022.

“An immediate reversal to the constitutionally recognised name of our state, ‘Osun State’. All government insignia, correspondences and signages should henceforth reflect Osun State rather than State of Osun which is unknown to the Nigerian constitution.”

When we will get it right?

I totally agree with him on name change. He should however retain the state logo and identity.

Nice one

Have said it before that oyetola use those appointment as trap for adeleke and he is trying to keep tinubu structure in adeleke government, am very sure that those list were given to oyetola by lagos landlord

So mr Adeleke use your sense in dealing with the situation.

Congrats Ade Dancer

Only God knows what Aregbesola was thinking when he changed alter the name of the state.

What's state of Osun in the constitution?

The most evil of all was Oyetola’s cangaroo LG election that he failed to do in his first 3 years in office.

I am kinda interested in seeing how his administration will be

God bless The Dancing governor our In-law. There is nothing like state of Osun. I was surprised no lawyer challenged that in the court. It is Osun state.

See this one. Does he have legal advisers? The change of name passed through a process at the state house of Assembly before it got changed so he cannot unilaterally change it like that. Moreso there is a pending matter in court as a person challenged the change of name and I think he won at the court of first instance and there is an Appeal. So the Governor lacks the power to unilaterally reverse the name but am sure the court will do that. I hope this man is not dull oooooo.

Adeleke has once again proven he is a yoruba Christian.
Are know those devilishh yoru bad fake Muslimnss hate him and wish osun state bad but it will fail in Jesus name.
Wickedd, tribalistik, cowordly yoru bad fake Muslimns

Then Aregbe just returned from vising the governor of Califonia, that time Arnold schwarzenegar was the governor and they met and all that. He was soo impressed he tried copying (the wrong things). So since it is called state of california over there, it became state of Osun over here

As it stands, there's no Muslim governor in the whole of Southwest and the entire South at large. Even his Deputy is a Christian.

You buffoons should not cry when APC reciprocates this same gesture.

You have never voted and will never vote. You're part of the problem. You enable rigging by leaving your slot to be filled by the riggin machinery. There are many of you like that in Nigeria beating your chest that you don't vote. You may not participate in politics but you must step forward when it comes to deciding who governs you.
