It was earlier reported that Oyetola named 30 public servants as Permanent Secretaries on Thursday with only three days left for him in office.
The Osun State Governor-elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke has warned the state public servants not to accept the appointment of permanent secretary given to them by the incumbent governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.
Olawale Rasheed, the Spokesperson to the governor-elect, warned that taking such appointments at this last minute indicated the readiness of those directors to exit the state service when the Adeleke takes over on November 28, 2022.
He said, “We want to put on records that those who accept the appointments should be ready to leave the service whether or not their service tenure has reached statutory age. The occupants will be treated as political appointees who will automatically follow the outgoing Governor out of public service from November 28.”
“At the same time, those who still want to remain in service of Osun State government should decline the Greek gift from the outgoing Governor. We affirm that no waiver will be entertained in sacking from office any kangaroo permanent secretary”, the statement concluded.
