The Dapo Abiodun governor-elect administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, has vowed to review every last minute activities of the outgoing government, led by Senator Ibikunle Amosun, when he assumes power on May 29.
National Trumpet can recall that that Amosun had last week announced the employment of 1,000 employees into the civil service.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta by the Committee’s Publicity Secretary, Tunde Oladunjoye, the party vowed that the review would also be extended to installation of new traditional rulers.
The Governor had, also explain that the eemployment followed due process as the beneficiaries were picked from over 5,000 applicants who sat for recruitment test over a year ago in the state.
But, Oladunjoye, in a reaction said it was “morally unacceptable” for Amosun to embark on mass appointments and promotions, “without due consideration to the governor – elect,” barely a month to expiration of his tenure.
This, he noted, amounts to “committing the incoming administration to unsustainable financial commitments and obligations.

“Though a Joint Transition Committee of the incumbent and incoming Governments has been set up, Senator Amosun has made last-minute appointments and awarded contracts without due consideration to the incoming administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun.
“Whilst we accept that the term of this Government expires on the 29th May 2019, it is morally unacceptable that a Governor with less than one month to the expiration of his term in office will make mass appointments and promotions, thereby committing the incoming administration to unsustainable financial commitments and obligations.
“We hereby, alert the general public and those to whom it may concern that all appointments, installation of traditional rulers, contracts, commitments and obligations entered into during the transition period after the elections will be reviewed and may not be binding on the new administration,” he said.
