Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has ordered the immediate suspension of the Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC), Mr. Segun Oladitan.
Thelagostimes gathered that this is coming barely 24 hours after his inauguration.
The governor also suspended six members, namely: Mr. Yusuf Oyeniran, Ms. Suibat Adubi, Mr. Yinka Ajiboye, Mrs. Abosede Omibeku, Mr. Dosu Gidigbi, and Mr. Wahab Adewoyin.
The Secretary to the State Government, Tesleem Igbalaye, made the announcement in a statement on Monday.
“This suspension is sequel to several petitions bordering on financial impropriety, dereliction of duty, absenteeism and abuse of office against the said chairman and members of the commission.
“Pending the outcome of investigation into the allegations against the suspended chairman and members of the commission, the secretary to the commission shall hold forth in running the affairs of the commission”, the statement said.
Recall that Adeleke took the oath of office on Sunday, four months after his victory at the July 16 Osun State governorship election.
