The dancing Governor issued six executive orders reversing decisions made by his predecessor and rival during the governorship election in the state, Gboyega Oyetola, including the appointments of workers and installation of traditional rulers.
He also directed the suspension of the Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC), Segun Oladitan, alongside six members of the Commission with immediate effect, among others.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba on Monday maintained that the decisions and actions taken by the new governor were in order.

The PDP spokesman claimed that the state was in the jugular of reckless and irresponsible government for eight years, hence the clean-up by governor Adeleke.
Ologunagba said the comments made by the APC National Vice Chairman (South-West), Isaac Kekemeke, were unnecessary, saying that the governor simply obeyed the court order by dissolving the elected council executives.
