The newly sworn-in Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has made his first appointments.

The governor appointed Rasheed Olawale as his Chief Press Secretary. He also approved the appointment of Kazeem Akinleye as his Chief of Staff and Teslim Igbalaye as the Secretary to the State Government.

The appointments, according to the governor, take immediate effect.

Thelagostimes gathered that Adeleke, who was sworn in on Sunday, froze all government accounts and also reversed the state’s name from the State of Osun to Osun State.

“An immediate reversal to the constitutionally recognised name of our state, Osun State. All government insignia, correspondences, and signages should henceforth reflect Osun State rather than State of Osun which is unknown to the Nigerian constitution”, he said.

Recall that Adeleke, the then governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), floored Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the governorship election in the state in July.The PDP candidate won 17 of the 30 local government and was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
