A call has gone out to the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke that he shouldn’t allow sentiments to prevail over rule of law as he takes up the mantle of power in the state.
Naija News reports that the call was made by the Osun State branch of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), as contained in a statement signed by the group’s state chairman, Akinrinade Wahab.
According to the right group, the governor should ensure that personalities with questionable characters are not appointed to his cabinet.
The state chairman in the statement cautioned Adeleke that he should always make sure that during his term in office, rule of law should always prevail over sentiments, adding that the group awaits the implementation of his administration’s policies on local government and education without any delay.
The group said “We in the CDHR congratulate you for your inauguration as the sixth Executive Governor of Osun State because you have proved beyond reasonable doubt that you are ready for the herculean task ahead of your administration for the next four years.
“We acknowledge the composition of personalities that made up your transitional committee. Our organisation placed the Committee under watch for evaluation of their conduct and programs’ approaches to issues, and we shall, in the next two weeks, submit our recommendation to your office.
“The formation of the Special Advisory Council on Youth Affairs, whose duties are to draw up actionable goals on youth empowerment and inclusiveness and development of the youth, shows you are ready to incorporate and build youth capacity into your administration.
“Your Excellency Sir, we would like you to note that we have carefully documented your policy statement on Local Government Administration and Education, which we are waiting to see your administration implement without delay.
“We of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) advise that you painstakingly view all drawn-up actionable goals, and subject them to criticism before approval will be given. While you should also ensure that personalities with questionable characters are not appointed into your cabinet.”
