They will all be laid off – Adeleke speaks on 30 newly appointed civil servants

Osun State governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke has vowed to sack on Monday the new permanent secretaries appointed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on Thursday,

Oyetola had on Thursday approved and installed 30 senior civil servants as permanent secretaries while Adeleke is due to be inaugurated as the State Governor on Sunday, November 27.

Reacting to this in a statement by his Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, all the newly appointed civil servants will be laid off

He said; “The Governor-elect affirmed that taking such appointments at this last minute indicated the readiness of those directors to exit the state service.

”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.”
