Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has frozen all accounts probably to verify and confirm the purported N14 billion said to be handed over to him by his successor.
This might not be unconnected with the need to verify the statement by the outgoing governor of Osun, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, that he left N14 billion in the state’s coffers for his successor, Senator Ademola Adeleke.
These decisions were contained in Adeleke’s inaugural speech on Sunday, saying the move will be backed by the right orders.

Senator Adeleke, however, accused Gboyega Oyetola, the immediate past governor of taking some malicious actions against him (Governor Adeleke) including the appointment of permanent secretaries.
“Immediate freezing of all government accounts in banks and other financial institutions,” part of his directive said.
“Immediate establishment of a panel to carry out an inventory and recover all government assets.
“An immediate reversal to the constitutionally recognised name of our state, Osun State.”
