Adeleke freezes government accounts and changes the name of the state

Published

on

All state government accounts have been frozen by Ademola Adeleke, the newly-elected governor of Osun State.
Following his inauguration on Sunday, Adeleke issued his first executive order directing this.
In his remarks at the inauguration, Adeleke said that the former governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, had engaged in some “maliciously” motivated behavior after losing the July 16 governorship election, including “hurried” employments without the necessary funding.
He asserted that these moves were barriers aimed at making life tough for his government.

Adeleke also reversed the state name from ‘State of Osun’ to ‘Osun State’, saying the former was alien to the constitution.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

“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.
