Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has directed former governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s appointees to return government properties in their possession within 48 hours.
This was contained in a statement signed by Adeleke’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed on Wednesday.
Officials of the immediate past administration were accused of large scale diversion of government assets.
“Several official vehicles are missing while official records indicated that two third of former state officials left with fleet of car in their office.
“Most Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) were stripped of operational assets like vehicles, computers and even residential fittings. Residences of some top officials were equally pillaged even to lamp fitting.
“Any former official who refuse to comply with the directive will face the full weight of the law,” the statement read.
In a swift response, the Osun All Progressives Congress, APC Director of Operations, Hon. Sunday Akere has asked the PDP-led government to be specific about its allegations of asset stripping for proper reaction.
He further said the government appears uncoordinated especially with the duplication of committees set up.
“You set up panel on this same asset matter yesterday. Is it that another committee has been set up in the office of the Governor? They should be specific and we will respond appropriately,” Hon. Akere said.
