The Osun State House of Assembly has rejected Governor Ademola Adeleke decision to revert to the state’s old name.
Adeleke, who was inaugurated as Osun State’s sixth executive governor on Sunday, had during his inaugural address ordered the state to return to its old identity.
Former governor Rauf Aregbesola changed the state’s name from Osun State to “State of Osun” in 2011.
However, in a statement issued by the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Moshood Akande, the Assembly said the anthem, crest, and flag of the state was an enactment of a law signed on December 18, 2012, and cannot be changed by anybody.
