The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has responded to the controversy sparked by the appointment of Senior Special Assistants (SSAs) on Government House Pool and Oranmiyan new town, saying the All Progressives Congress (APC) originated the offices.
This comes after the wide circulation of an August 9, 2023 memo in which the Secretary to the State Government, Teslim Igbalaye, notified Oyetunji Rasaki Abefe of his appointment as the SSA to the Governor on Government House Pool.
Channels TV report that, Olawale Rasheed, the governor’s press secretary, said in a statement on Friday that “Government House Pool is a term referring to the transport unit of Government House.”
“The section addresses motorists and automobiles inside the Government House. The office, which was founded by the All Progressive Congress’s (APC) prior administrations, has been around for about twelve years.
Therefore, the two appointments are required and necessary. The lads’ jobs were never frivolous, as some partisan detractors have suggested. Even if those positions were inherited, Governor Adeleke has shown a tremendous desire to hold onto what is positive and get rid of what is negative.
The two offices are required in the two cases under discussion in order to safeguard and efficiently manage both public and private assets.
