Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has dissolved the state executive council.
This was contained in a letter signed by the Chief of Staff to the Governor and Chairman, Transition & Inauguration Committee, Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi.
The Governor equally terminated the appointments of political office holders urging them to hand over government properties in their custody.
It reads: “I have the directive of the Executive Governor of Oyo State, His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde to inform you of the dissolution of the Oyo State Executive Council and the termination of the appointment of all political officeholders with effect from today. Tuesday, May 23, 2023.
” All political officeholders are required to officially hand over and submit all government properties in their possession to the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies.”
The statement however noted that political officeholders in statutory commissions are excluded from the directive.
