A former Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly, Mr Olaide Adelami, has been named the deputy governor of the state.
Adelami hails from Owo, the home town of former governor, the late Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, thus making his choice significant.
The State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, announced his deputy in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan.
He said the name of the new deputy governor had been transmitted to the state House of Assembly for approval.
“His nomination will be announced by the House of Assembly later today,” the CPS said.
THE CONCLAVE reports that earlier in the day, Governor Aiyedatiwa had announced the dissolution of the State executive Council and also sacked some gubernatorial aides, preparatory to a series of fresh appointments in the next two weeks.
