The Speaker of the Osun Assembly pays Adeleke a visit

Timothy Owoeye, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, paid a courtesy call on state Governor Ademola Adeleke at his county home in Ede on Tuesday.
Governor Adeleke welcomed the speaker and stated that his administration was ready to work closely with the state legislature to deliver on its five-point agenda.

The governor, who described himself as a man who cares about the legislature, reiterated his willingness to work with lawmakers and praised the state’s excellent partnership between the two branches of government.

The speaker assured the governor that the legislature was ready to assist his administration in keeping its promises to the people of the state.

Following their remarks, the governor and Speaker met privately to discuss the governor’s inaugural address and Executive Orders.

On Monday, the state assembly rejected the governor’s decision to change the state’s name from “State of Osun” to Osun State.

The Assembly argued that the state anthem, crest, and flag were established by a law signed on December 18, 2012, and that they could not be changed.

The lawmakers also stated that the state will be known as “Osun” and “Ipinle Omulabi” in the future (State of the Virtuous).
