Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke says the executive order to revert the state’s name to Osun State is unchanged.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, made this known when his principal and the leadership of the State House of Assembly have met on Tuesday.
According to him there is a cordial relationship between the state executive and legislative.
“The Speaker of the House and the Governor of the state just met; there is a very cordial relationship between the legislative and the executive and on the State of Osun, the executive order is very clear. We are reverting to Osun State, State of the Living Spring and that has been resolved.
‘”The issue of Osun State and State of Osun has been ongoing for a long time; there is a court process about it, and we don’t want to be drawn into it because we are not the ones that took the State Assembly to the court and to secure the judgement. But the situation of things as of today is that the State Assembly and the executive arm are on the same page on almost all other issues,” Rasheed said.
Recall that in his inaugural speech on Sunday, Governor Adeleke ordered a reversal to Osun State from the State of Osun which was adopted by Rauf Aregbesola’s administration.
In their reaction, the Osun Assembly countered the move, maintaining that the adoption of the “State of Osun” is “a matter of law”
