Ademola Adeleke on Sunday took his oath of office as the new Osun State Governor.

He took the oath of office alongside his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi administered on them by the state Chief Judge, Adepele Ojo.

In his inaugural speech on Sunday, Adeleke announced the freezing of all state accounts.

He also announced the reversal of the state appellation to “Osun State” instead of “The state of Osun”.

Adeleke ordered that all state insignia should now reflect “state of the living spring” instead of “state of the virtue” as this is in line with the recognition of the state by the Nigerian constitution.

The new governor who promised to protect the interests of the Osun people also promised to set up panels to review every appointment and action taken by his predecessor, Oyetola between July 16 and his last day in office.

He promised to ensure a turnaround of the state’s economy in the health, education, agriculture, security and economy.
