EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Iyaloja-General of Osun State, Alhaja Awawu Asindemade, has been sacked by Governor Ademola Adeleke and replaced with a new chief.
Rauf Aregbesola, during his tenure as the state governor from 2010 to 2018, appointed Asindemade to the position.
However, Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, announced in a statement on Thursday that the governor appointed Chief Oyebode Aderonke Mary as the new Iyaloja-General of the state.
“We approve her appointment with all sense of responsibility and confidence in her ability to pilot the affairs of women in commerce for the collective prosperity of Osun State,” the governor was quoted as saying.
He described Chief Oyebode as “a strong leader of businesswomen in Osun state who has contributed immensely to the growth and development of Commerce.”
When approached for comments, Asindemade dismissed the news of her sacking and insisted that she continues to serve as the head of traders in the state.
“I remain the Iyaloja-General for the state. They can appoint another Iyaloja-General for their party like an NGO does. I remain the recognised Iyaloja-General of Osun State,” she stated.
