Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has suspended his Senior Special Assistant on Civil Societies, Oluwaseun Adebisi over alleged misconduct.
According to a statement by Olawale Rasheed on Wednesday, the Governor ordered suspension of Adebisi pending the outcome of investigation by a panel headed by the Chief of Staff, Kazeem Akinleye.
InsightMedia gathered the Adebisi has been accused of diverting 70 bags of rice meant for civil societies in the State. He was also alleged to be the mastermind of the crisis rocking the State chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria.
In the the meantime, the Governor has warned the transport workers in the State against actions and activities capable of plunging the state into violence and lawlessness.
In a statement issued today at Osogbo, Governor Adeleke directed the Commissioner for Transportation to again summon a reconciliatory meeting of all the warring groups within the transport sector.
“The officials and their members should desist from distracting Osun people from many ongoing laudable projects and delivery of good governance.
“This administration will not condone lawlessness and acts of violence. We must not and can not afford to return to the era of the previous administration. Our government has zero tolerance for violence.
“Any issue within the transport management should be resolved in line with due process. Internally Generated Revenue in Osun State is strictly regulated within a framework of accountability and transparency that can not be breached.
“Our government has automated revenue collection while integrating multiple revenue points into a single billing process. Our IGR has increased as a consequence of our innovations and zero tolerance for revenue leakages. Diversion of revenue is a thing of the past in Osun State.
“The Commissioner for Transportation is to engage the transport officials and reconcile all financial records. Any transport official who engages in violence will face the full wrath of the law”, the state Governor was quoted as saying.
