Drama As Adeleke Appoints Himself As Commissioner For Works, Deputy As Commissioner For Youth & Sports

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has appointed himself as the new commissioner for works in his administration, which has created so much controversies and public debate since yesterday.

The announcement came earlier yesterday morning, as the governor swore in a new batch of commissioners to fill vacant positions in the state’s executive council.

Adeleke’s decision to take up the key portfolio of works raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and the separation of powers within the state’s administration.

His appointment comes as a successor to Engineer Remi Omowaiye, who served diligently in the ministry during former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s administration.

The governor’s move has received mixed reactions from political analysts, with some expressing concern over the concentration of power on a single individual’s jurisdiction.

Critics argued that taking the role of commissioner for works, Adeleke might be undermining the transparency and accountability Act in his administration.

However, supporters of the governor defended the appointment, stating that as the head of the state, he has the prerogative to make such decisions, and ensure effective performance in the implementation of infrastructure across the state.

In another notable appointment, Governor Adeleke also named his deputy as the new Commissioner for Youth and Sports.

This move aims to bring fresh perspectives and energy into the ministry responsible for promoting youth development and sports activities within the state.
