TRACKING_____Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, Monday said he decided not to disengage workers recruited at the twilight of his predecessor’s administration because he was not out to witch hunt anybody.
Abiodun stated that the retention of the workers was in keeping with the covenant he made with his creator to serve the people diligently.
The governor, who spoke when he met with about 2,000 recently absorbed civil servants, noted that he would not embark on witch hunt because his ascension to power was through the benevolence of the Almighty and the goodwill of the people.
“We are not an administration that is here to witchhunt anybody, but to do that which we believe is right before God and man. My agreement is with God, myself and all the people of Ogun State who voted me into office. Anything I do, I do it with a clean conscience,” he added.
Abiodun explained that his administration had set up a committee to look into all appointments made at the twilight of the immediate past administration with the view to having first hand information on why it hurriedly appointed new workers despite the fact that the process of employment started a year before the hand over of government.
He noted that after viewing the last minute appointments with lots of suspicion, he opted to absorb the workers and pay their full salaries.
