Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has directed all former appointees of the Gboyega Oyetola administration to return government properties in their possession within 48 hours.
Spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed made this known in a statement in Osogbo on Wednesday.
The statement reads: “The directive was sequel to large scale diversion of government assets by top officials of the immediate past administration. Several official vehicles are missing while official records indicated that two third of former state officials left with fleet of cars in their office.
“Most Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) were stripped of operational assets like vehicles, computers and even residential fittings. Residences of some top officials were equally pillaged even to lamp fitting.
“Any former official who refuse to comply with the directive will face the full weight of the law.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the state has asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led government to be specific about its allegations of asset stripping.
Director of Operations of the party, Hon. Sunday Akere, said the Adeleke-led government appears uncoordinated.
“You set up panel on this same asset matter yesterday. Is it that another committee has been set up in the office of the governor? They should be specific and we will respond appropriately,” Akere said.
