Gov. Ajimobi sacks 3 commissioners from his cabinet. Could this be a fall out of last week's rumoured arrest of his wife in the United Kingdom?

There was a minor shake-up in Oyo State Monday as Governor Abiola Ajimobi sacked three of his commissioners.

While speaking with newsmen after the state executive council meeting Monday, the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Akin Olajide gave the names of the sacked commissioner as Alhaji Yunus Akintunde (Works and Transport); Mr. Bosun Oladele, Information and Orientation and Mr. Kazeem Adedeji who was in charge of the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Cooperatives.

Also, the name of a current Special Adviser to the governor on Education and former governorship candidate of Action Alliance (AA) in the state, Taiwo Otegbeye has been sent to the State House of Assembly for confirmation as a Commissioner.

Six other commissioners swapped positions.

According to him, the former Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Bimbo Kolade has been moved to the Ministry of Lands, while the erstwhile Commissioner for Lands, Mr. Ajiboye Omodewu, will now take over the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

Mr. Peter Odetomi, formerly of the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs is now Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, while Mr. Lowo Obisesan, formerly of the Ministry of Establishment and Training, will now swap the ministry with his Environment counterpart, Mr. Wasiu Dauda.

The reshuffle also saw the erstwhile Commissioner for Applied Science and Technology, Mr. Adegbenro taking charge of the Ministry of Trade, Investment and Cooperatives, while the name of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Pastor Taiwo Otegbeye has been forwarded to the state House of Assembly for confirmation as a commissioner.

In the cabinet reshuffle, Tokunbo Fayokun,(Education) Dapo Adesina, (Sports and Youth Development), Nurudeen Olarinde(Economic, Budget and Planning), Bimbo Owolabi(Water Resources, and Zacheaus Adelabu(Finance) retained their positions.

Also retained were Kafayat Adeojo (Urban and Physical Planning), Mutalab Ojo Adebayo (Justice), Tinuke Osunkoya (Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation) and Muyiwa Gadegesin (Health).

The SSG explained that the cabinet reshuffle was aimed at enhancing more effectiveness and efficiency in line with the restoration, transformation and repositioning agenda of the Ajimobi administration.

“They (those who were dropped) have not committed any offence. It is just to increase the tempo of governance in some key areas, so as to achieve the agenda we have set for ourselves within the time available,’’ he explained.

He should sack all of them because i haven't heard any good news from oyo in a long time. Isn't that a pointer to the fact that they're not working?

What's the reason for the sack ?

Dayokanu, leave Biafra alone and come explain what's happening in your bedroom.

He doesn't even have a diploma in Oyo affairs but has a BSC in Igbo Affairs, an MSC in Biafran Technology and a PHD in Ojukwu science.

It won't be a surprise to learn that Dayo does not know the way to oyo yet he can draw the map of Biafra with both eyes shut.

Ajimobi shud as well Bleep off dat position cos hes not functional too. Giving people portofolio dt are unsuitable for d positions. Square peg in a round hole. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeuuuuuw!

What is wrong with the governor why just sack them. They should not just be sacked but slapped ,shot, and hung.then dump thier bodies in sacks ha ha ha ha

Are there any developmental projects going on in Oyo State?

when will the governor pin down his wife to her sit instead of travelling 52 tyms out of the country since innoguration , moreso whats the need for all these commi that are inefficient at performing there functions.governor mimiko performs better with less commi. anyway.

haaaa se does comissioners don't get jax ni or dey wen me give dem haaaa se does comissioners don't get jax ni or dey wen me give dem haaaa se does comissioners don't get jax ni or dey wen me give dem

next news pls

Inefficiency? The truth is hidden somewhere.

Swapping or sacking commissioners is no palliative for non-performance in Oyo State.......His Excellency should keep in mind that the people of Oyo will sack his entire party (ACN) if no tangible results are obvious by 2015.

He has been forwarned

DC Trendy:

I am right here in Ring Road and I know better!

shut up! You must be an ACN guy too

very annoyin parol

Notice how no minister is ever sacked for inefficiency in the federal government, and yet nothing works.

to be sincere Ajumobi is the greatest calamity that has be on oyo people in the recent time i voted for him but regretted did so why sacking ACN commissioner for old ANPP people this man is destroying ACN in oyo he is doing nothing

HE MUST BE IMPEACHED AS WELL...WHAT NONSENSE IS HE DOING THERE AS GOVERNOR SELF? GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH

afam4eva: He should sack all of them because i haven't heard any good news from oyo in a long time. Isn't that a pointer to the fact that they're not working?

i wonder o

Ajimobi is looking for who to blame for his poor performance .He should lead by example and sack himself first.

Aaronrod: Inefficiency? The truth is hidden somewhere.

yeah, the true is hidden somewhere, commissional can'nt do any project unless that project come from governor office, that means inefficiency of commisional is the unfunctoining of the governor...

DC Trendy:

I am right here in Ring Road and I know better!

You mean the landscaping going on the road?
How many jobs will that provide? It was even washed away by rain after it was first made.
The combination of Alaafin, Olubadan and Arisekola that backed him to power will eventually ruin his administration.
I did not vote for him and i am happy i didn't.

olatunde1234: yeah, the true is hidden somewhere, commissional can'nt do any project unless that project come from governor office, that means inefficiency of commisional is the unfunctoining of the governor...

the truth is akala and ladoja pdp led goverment are far far better than this ajimobi acn govt

onatisi: now ppl in ibadan and oyo state have begun to see the difference in a pdp control govt and acn one.citizens of oyo state now wish they had never voted acn into power

Dude, you don't know what you talking about, am not campaigning for Ajimobi but what he's doing and has done in his short time in office is enough of a legacy to last for generations. The second fly over in the state since the one @ molete has being completed over 40 years ago is almost completed in mokola roundabt and soon thereafter will embark on a third on in challenge road.
The sanitation program has been more than effective, we now have clean roadsides and streets. Some guys just talk base on stereotypes they have heard which for most parts are not true. Even sabo which was notoriously filthy is now clean, all those dirt in the median of the roads are regularly picked up.
Anyway, I can only say the man his really putting some serious projects down unlike Akala and his fake taxi cars, so guys be informed, ibadan and oyo state is not the old(still has its old areas) dirty and rusty state you people make it to be.
