The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has sternly warned his newly inaugurated special advisers against engaging in any form of rivalry in discharging their duties.

He warned that he will not tolerate corruption and incompetence as he vowed to also remove the heads of ministries and agencies that get themselves involved in rivalry and infighting.

Adeleke, while addressing the 47 appointees in Abere on Wednesday, said “You must be above board and dedicate your time to serving the people. I will demand observance of the rule of law and due process.”

He continued, “I will not tolerate infighting and rivalry among appointed officials. Commissioners and Special Advisers must work harmoniously.

“The boards and the management of agencies must maintain a cordial working environment to deliver on agency mandate. All parties must recognize the limit of their powers.
