Osun APC Taunts Gov Adeleke About Slipping Up During Swearing-In Ceremony, Assesses New Cabinet Members
Osun state APC has taunted Governor Ademola Adeleke about slipping up during the swearing-in ceremony of members of the state executive council in Osogbo on Wednesday.
The party alleged that the governor has become ‘an instrument for lowering the estimation of the entire people of the state in the comity of the states making up the Federal Republic of Nigeria’.
Osun state APC in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Thursday by its chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal noted that Governor Adeleke accidentally referred to the new Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment ,Barrister Kolapo Alimi as ‘Minister’ in charge of Information and Public Enlightenment.
The state APC chairman also faulted the date chosen for the swearing-in ceremony in question being the same day that the late Hon Olasoji Clement Adagunodo, a former state chairman and Southwest leader of the party, was being paid his last respects at the WOCDIF Event Centre, Osogbo.
The party also assessed the new cabinet members and opined that it showed clear cases of putting some square pegs in the round holes while also reacting to the decision taken by the governor to name himself as Commissioner for Works.
‘We all know who the real unveiled commissioner for works is. It is the fear of what would be the reactions of the members of the public that prevented him from mentioning her name.
Is it not on record that the unnamed commissioner for works has been treating government files in the company of the governor’s chaperon at her Ede country home since the inception of this administration while the governor is only invited and shown where he would append his signature without having the knowledge of the contents of the files?
The reasons why Adeleke appointed the deputy governor as Commissioner in charge of the Ministry of Sports and Social Needs is also not fathomable when it is not that there is dearth of qualified persons who worked for the success of the party at the polls regardless of whatever means adopted for the questionable victory.
The prerogative of the governor to put lawyers in charge of the ministry of education and health is fraught with admissible reasons to any right-thinking members of the society.
While we are wishing the new commissioners the best of luck in their various ministries, it is our belief that the people deserve the type of the governor and state executive members that they have.
It will however, not be proper if it is not registered here that there are few of the commissioners on the list who have distinguished themselves in their chosen fields while it is an impossibility for about three commissioners to write the names of their assigned ministries correctly’ the statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com
