Rasheed also said the governor has ordered the dethronement of three monarchs, which includes the Owa of Igbajo, Aree of Iree, and Akinrun of Ikirun.

He said the governor also directed security agents to take over the palaces of the three traditional rulers to avoid further breakdown of law and order, saying that the directive was contained in the Executive order signed by the governor on Monday.

There Was Never A Sack Of Any Worker

However, contrary to his first statement, Rasheed while speaking on a talk show programme on Rave FM in Osogbo, said there was never a sack of any worker or dethronement of traditional rulers.

According to him, the new administration of Adeleke only set up a review panel to look into the number of people employed during the previous administration of Gboyega, Oyetola.

He said: “There was never sack of any worker or traditional ruler. We only set up a review panel. It is impossible to sack and put a review panel in place.

“The review panel looks at the numbers of the people employed, due processes of the employment, and qualification, among other things.

‘’Before our taking over, there were issues of backdating of employment, even till last year. So order 1-5 will be operationalized by order six which are the panels.

“Those that were employed from July 17 till our takeover are still at work presently, they have not been sacked. The staff audit will review the employment. Within 4 hours, Adeleke has dismantled the illegality of 4 months, all the bobby traps he has dismantled them.“
