Senator Adeleke and Governor Oyetola

Osun State governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has revealed alleged plans by the incumbent governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, to appoint his cronies as Permanent Secretaries.

The allegation was contained in a statement on Monday signed by Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson to Adeleke.

Adeleke alleged that the Oyetola administration planned to appoint 15 new permanent secretaries weeks before the end of his tenure.

The statement stated that Oyetola was already compiling names of his loyalists he planned to appoint as PS, adding that the appointees might be announced any moment.

It further maintained that Adeleke when he assumed reign, would re-assess the state of the bureaucracy in the state, with a view to enforce due process and ensure appropriate placement of senior personnel into various positions through an open and merit-based process.

It, therefore, called on Oyetola to shelve the plan as it was tantamount to exercising appointive power not only at the wrong time but at a time the electorate had anointed a new leader.

“We note that Oyetola has been running the government with just about nine permanent secretaries for the past three and half years. How he came about the idea of increasing the number at the twilight of his administration’s tenure is still not clear.

“As an outgoing Governor, it cannot be good intentioned for you to appoint critical officials like permanent secretaries when a new leader is about to take over the administration of the state. The incoming governor has the right to determine the team he will work with. It should be clear that predetermining the make up of incoming government is an effort in futility.

“The outgoing Governor’s decision is therefore in bad taste and a continuation of current efforts to destabilise the incoming administration.

“We also call on senior bureaucrats not to accept any Greek gift that may end up hurting their career. To be forewarned, is to be careful,” the statement concluded.
