The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has responded promptly to address the misrepresentations and misinterpretations encircling the recent appointments of Senior Special Assistants for Government House Pool and Oranmiyan new town.
The government’s primary goal is to provide clarity and dispel any misconstrued notions surrounding these appointments. While the government appreciates the public’s interest in comprehending these appointments and commends individuals who have taken the initiative to explain the roles of the appointed officials, it is important to note that certain elements are deliberately distorting facts for political advantage, thereby generating unwarranted controversy over matters of minimal significance.
The appointment of the Senior Special Assistant for Government House Pool pertains to the oversight of the transport unit in charge of drivers and vehicles within the premises of the Government House.
This office, originally established by previous administrations of the All-Progressive Congress (APC), has been operational for well over a decade. Given the extensive fleet of drivers and vehicles, the establishment of an efficient system to coordinate and supervise activities within this domain remains paramount.

Again, the designation of a Senior Special Assistant for Oranmiyan new town finds its roots in the earlier efforts of the former APC-led government to institute a diaspora estate program. This comprehensive initiative involves the development of a novel settlement known as Oranmiyan new town.
The newly appointed Senior Special Assistant assumes a pivotal role in facilitating the successful realization of government objectives in this sphere, notably in safeguarding the investments made by diaspora communities.
In reiterating the significance of these appointments, the Osun State government underscores that they hold substantive importance rather than being mere frivolous positions, as alluded to by a select group of partisan critics.
Governor Adeleke’s commitment to retaining elements that prove beneficial to the state, while discarding those that fail to contribute to effective governance, remains unequivocal.
Osun State stands committed in its dedication to the preservation and efficient management of both public and private assets. The government urges the public to dismiss misleading narratives and instead seek accurate information from credible sources.
