Nine months after Gboyega Oyetola was sworn in as the governor of Osun State, he has refused to constitute his executive council. Rather than appoint commissioners, Mr Oyetola is running selected ministries with supervisors.

It appears that his administration is following the antecedent of the former governor, Rauf Aregbesola, who during his second term in office refused to appoint commissioners for more than a year due to what he tagged financial constraints.

The governor has “simply rendered other ministries useless”, a political analyst, Kehinde Orioye, told PREMIUM TIMES.“The governor has simply shown that he can manage the affairs of the state with his discretion. While the Constitution provided for the appointment of commissioners he has refused to do so. This, he may not consider key to his government.”

Our source who pleaded anonymity because he is not permitted speak with the media said: “By the time his Excellency was inaugurated, it was not certain that we will remain in government. In fact, there was high tension after the tribunal upturned the election. Appointment of commissioners at that critical points cannot be done. We need to be sure that all is well before nominating commissioners. The focus of the government then was simply how to remain in office”.

Kunle Oyatomi, the APC spokesperson in Osun, requested a text message be sent on Monday. He did not reply to the message and did not pick subsequent calls.

Y'all think he plans to work?

It shows lack of the understanding of what good governance is all about.

niyorty bia learned one, I thought this one would be different from buhari 😂

When you still doubt your own victory. 😂

Janjaweed

Like father like Son

Aregbe protege Tomorrow , this one self go say he changed Osun lstate for go9d

It’s now becoming a trend

He is competent to handle all the ministries, so there is no need abi. Is it by force? Ineptitude personified

That's what their oga has taught them. Seems they are trying an underhand constitutional change

He will just continue from where Ruff Aregbe stopped....Clueless and UTTERLY USELESS....expect NOTHING from empty folks like this....

That's the Hallmark of APC government everywhere.

Saving money. If you have perm secs, why the need for commissioners? Wise man.

Osun state was bankrupted by raufaregbesola . GboyegaOyetola Was forced on osun people to protect the mess.

Called chop alone

Derek74399105 He is yet to receive go ahead...OYO is moving on. So many people involved in stolen mandate. They all want their share. How can he perform? Don’t expect anything from this man in the next 4 yrs same as Buhari

We need young people to wrestle power from this guy

GboyegaOyetola lmao

Maybe is still waiting for Tinubu to give him the waiting list

Result of entering through window

If it is mandatory and backed by law, why can't critics test this at the law court? How many states are yet to appoint commissioners please? Now we have left Buhari, it is Osun, which state are you kicking next?

Waiting for the approval of the bullion van gangster.

I will only be surprise if he perform otherwise. It's still Ogbeni Aregbe Govt, style and approach. No wonder we pray more in Nigeria, our own people are the ones behind our problems and they are very powerful.

StateofOsun always leading innovation in Nigeria. Something for MBuhari and ProfOsinbajo to consider. OfficialAPCNg APCUKingdom raufaregbesola GboyegaOyetola

Is the public surprised? That's what his predecessor Ogbeni Aregbe did for abt 3 yrs or so in his 1st term in office. It's only a baton change.

nwaegbe_nkem It's a new normal in the State of Osun. They usually follow the example of their Aso Rock god.🚶🚶🚶

They have nothing to give as expected , he is following the footsteps of his big boss ..

He’s still within the timeline, it took his predecessor longer time to constitute his cabinet.

They have to balance the book na, first the money they used to rigged the election and the money they used to bribed the Supreme Court judges.

I thought they're done with the direct primary election in selecting their commissioner and also given verdict that their labourer who help them rig into power has a welcome idea not administrative appointment,it's now obvious they're clueless and have nothing to offer the state

RealOlaudah They don’t give a shit. Lol

Like president like governor ni, it's their party thing nah. Sent the one in Ogun sometimes ago said he doesn't know who to pick or something like that

I can see “non-performance” on the face of the governor

Lagos has not finished compiling the list; FG ministers - paramount

It not new to us,that was what his predecessor also did,leave them God will deliver us.

Cc usmannorth

There should be a law stipulating how many days,weeks or months it should take a president or governor to compose his/her cabinet.Its like there is no legal framework in that regard currently and that's why Buhari and some Governors are abusing the process!

Following his mentor..mediocrus Sycophantus

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 After rigging their way in.....

Like osun state governor like Buhari like APC..Birds of same plumage...

Do you expect him to embarrass the man he worships?

What!!! Which type of incompetence is APC injecting into our system 😴

The height of cluelessness and mediocrity, he was never ready for governance so am not surprised. Rigging technology brought him to power.🤷

No money, workers salary must be paid first as well as clear the half's owed by the former administration!!

Like president, like governor....... Legendary cluelessness 😒

Following the footsteps of his boss. Integrity FC

Failed, visionless and clueless government. Or in the alternative, there's no money to pay them since Aregbesola stole the state to blind. Either way, the system is irredeemable.

It took his boss asorock 5 months in his first time before he submitted Ministerial list, so he has to double it in order to set a new record

Its a trend common wit all rigged president/gov.

He is saving the money for Osun people. He actually needs 3 more years without commissioners on board to run the state. Ride on jor. Osunneednocommissioners

Birds of same feathers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He doesn't have the money to pay them. Hope he is paying his workers

9 months 🤔 well that's him following the footsteps of Buhari am not surprised. Like Buhari Like His Followers

Buhari's loyal protégé!

Like father(Bubu), like son. 😂

He is obeying the nonexistence laws of appointment. Hahahaha

useless set of people in govt

They have not given him list niiiii. clueless

Neither did his predecessor for a whole term

Nigeria is a failed state.

za_icon He can’t afford to pay them

God Father has not sent approved the list

Its in their character .The osun people voted them out.Only that they rigged the election.

APC and failure. Siamese twins.

This is what you get when you are accidentally handpicked by a godfather to become a governor. He never expect it

Buhari is his mentor na, he's just following in his footstep Terrorist Party, APC

Another PMB in the making.
