Osun Assembly Reacts To Adeleke’s Inaugural Speech (Read Details)

365news gathered that The State of Osun House of Assembly responded to Senator Ademola Adeleke’s inaugural speech as the new governor of Osun on Monday.

The Osun Anthem and the designation of Osun as the State of the Virtuous remain legal, according to a statement from the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Hon. Kunle Akande. This is because they are supported by pertinent provisions that were passed by the assembly and signed into law in 2012.

The legislature added, however, that it would wait until all available legal options had been used against the “State of Osun” in the case involving the reversion of power to Osun State before taking a position.

Osun will continue to be known as the State of the Virtuous (Ipinle Omoluabi), according to Hon. Akande, who claimed that the decision was made by law and not by choice.

The statement said:

“Lastly, while we are aware of a court judgment in effect recognizing “Osun State”, the Assembly, pending the determination and exhaustion of all legal means would not be drawn into this matter.

“However, the State shall and will continue to be described as the State of the Virtuous (Ipinle Omoluabi).”
