Osun State governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has warned political appointees against corruption and abuse of office in their various ministries and agencies.

The governor gave the warning at the 2024 prayer programme of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State where he was also endorsed as the governorship flag bearer of the party for 2026 guber polls.

Addressing party stakeholders and top officials of the state government, Governor Adeleke advised the political appointees to be mindful of public service regulations and beware of self-serving postures as they are in office to serve the people.

“Let me use this opportunity to warn our party members holding various offices to be good representatives of the party. We are a party of law and order, due process and rule of law. We must comply with the law in all our doings.”  Senator Adeleke said.

“Appointees must know their rights and responsibilities. As board members, you are not to be involved in the day-to-day running of the agency. That is the turf of the management of the agency. But as a board, you have supervisory roles on the management in line with policies you set at your board meetings and in line with laws setting up the agency. All appointees must take note of this separation of functions.” He said.

Governor Adeleke maintained that his administration would not tolerate corruption and abuse of office and powers either by appointees or management of the agencies declaring it will impose heavy sanctions on those who breach state laws.

By Web News 715

The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, says it has not received any order of the court reinstating its former Chairman, Mr Soji Adagunodo.

In an interview with Radio Nigeria, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP, Osun State Chapter, Mr Oluwabamiji Oladele said the interim order referred had not been served on the party.

Mr Oladele stated that once it was served the party would study it and make necessary reactions. 

Radio Nigeria correspondent who visited the office observed that nothing had changed at the PDP Secretariat on Ikirun Road as the newly appointed Chairman of the party, Mr Sunday Bisi is still in charge.

An Osun State High Court sitting in Ikirun had on Tuesday reinstated Mr Soji Adajunodo as the chairman of People Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State.

The order of the court, presided by Justice Jide Falola was consequent upon an application filed by Mr Adagunodo seeking an interim order of the court to reinstate him as the party’s chairman pending the determination of the motion on notice. 

The National Working Committee in October 2020 had ratified the removal of Soji Adajunodo as the chairman of the party following a vote of no confidence passed on him. 

A statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan directed that Mr Sunday Bisi take over as chairman of the party.
