Senator Ademola Adeleke was on Sunday sworn-in as the sixth civilian governor of Osun State.
The newly inaugurated Governor, in his first executive order, froze all government accounts in the state with immediate effect.
Adeleke, in his speech delivered at the inauguration, alleged that the erstwhile governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, carried out some actions “maliciously” after he (Adeleke) won the July 16 governorship election, including “hurried” employments without provisions to sustain them.
He claimed these actions were roadblocks channeled at making things difficult in his administration difficult.
Adeleke also reversed the state name from ‘State of Osun’ to ‘Osun State’, saying the former was alien to the constitution.
