Adeleke never Sacked any Worker - Osun Govt Clarifies
The spokesperson to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, has insisted that no public servants were dismissed when the governor assumed office in 2022. He accused the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, of deploying false information as a political tactic against the state government.
According to Rasheed, Governor Adeleke did not terminate the employment of any teachers or health workers. He explained that the previous administration, shortly before leaving office, had “injected against service rules APC sympathisers as teachers and health workers as a trap to destabilise the incoming government.”
He added, “Those disengaged were never staff of the Osun State government.”
Commenting on allegations that construction under the Oke Fia bridge has compromised the structure, Rasheed described the claim as “a pitiable lie from a propagandist,” stating that roadwork in the area is ongoing.
Rasheed was responding to comments made on national television by Senator Basiru, who alleged that the Adeleke administration had dismissed workers employed by the former Oyetola-led government.
“The APC National Secretary is invited to note that the Adeleke administration has a three-pronged water sector agenda which includes short term, medium term and long term plans. They are all simultaneously under implementation,” Rasheed said.
“On agriculture, Ajibola Bashiru cannot deny that from 2015 to 2022, Osun purchased no single tractor. The Adeleke administration has acquired and deployed 31 tractors to farmlands in the first phase of its farm mechanisation agenda.
