The spokesperson to the 5th Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, Ismail Omipidan, has described the claim by the new governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, that the immediate past governor employed 12, 000 workers as not only false but unfounded.

He challenged the government to publish the list of the purported 12, 000 workers, asking, “What is the entire workforce of the state?”

Omipidan reminded the government, “Once a lie is told, you need one and a thousand lies to cover it up. In no distant future, the people of Osun will know who the real liars are.”

Senator Adeleke on his first day in office as the sixth governor of Osun State sacked 12,000 workers and ordered the dethronement of three monarchs barely 24 hours after his inauguration.

The governor also nullified the appointment of 30 Permanent Secretaries and suspended the chairman and members of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC).

The affected monarchs include Akinrun of Ikinrun Oba Yinusa Akadiri; Aree of Ire, Oba Ademola Oluponle and Owa of Igbajo, Oba Gboyega Famodun. He ordered the monarch to vacate the palace, asking security operatives to take over.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Adeleke, Olawale Rasheed on Monday stated that the new governor signed the Executive Orders which covered chieftaincy matters, appointments issues, setting up of review panel, staff audit and employment matters.”

The release reads: “All employments in the service of Osun State Government made in any capacity into any capacity in all the Ministries, Departments, Agencies, Commissions, Boards and Parastatals after July 17th, 2022 be and are hereby nullified.

“Executive Order number five on Chieftaincy Affairs and appointment of traditional rulers. All appointments of traditional rulers made by the Osun State Government after 17th July 2022 are hereby ordered to be reviewed to ensure there was strict compliance with due process of chieftaincy declarations and native law, custom and tradition relating to such chieftaincies. In the case of Ikirun, Iree and Igbajo, to avoid further breakdown of law and order, the appointments of Akinrun of Ikinrun, Aree of Ire and Owa of Igbajo are hereby put on hold pending review.

“Subsequently, the palaces of Akinrun of Ikirun, Aree of Iree and Owa of Igbajo should remain unoccupied, while security agencies are hereby ordered to take charge.”
