Osun Gov. appoints 30 perm secs 1 week before leaving office, Adeleke kicks
The governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, has approved the appointment of 30 senior servants as permanent secretaries barely one week before leaving office. The appointment was confirmed on Thursday, November 24.
Meanwhile, the governor-elect of the state, Ademola adeleke, has countered the appointment of the senior servants as permanent secretaries just a few days before the governor’s tenure officially ends.
Adeleke stated that the appointees will be treated as government appointees and will follow the outgoing governor out of office.
He described the appointment as a Greek gift, adding that “no waiver will be entertained in sacking from office any kangaroo permanent secretary.”
