Two Osun State Workers Suspended For Celebrating Ademola Adeleke' s Victory

Two Osun State Workers Suspended For Celebrating Ademola Adeleke' s Victory

Two workers of the Osun State Broadcasting
Corporation have been suspended indefinitely
by the management of the corporation for
allegedly calling Governor Rauf Aregbesola an
unprintable name on a WhatsApp group, You
and I.

The duo were alleged to have taken to the
social media to celebrate the victory of the
Peoples Democratic Party's candidate in the
Osun West Senatorial District by-election,
Chief Ademola Adeleke, and hurled abuses at
the governor at the same time.

Our correspondent gathered that Mr. Kunle
Makanjuola and Mr. Gbadebo Adepoju were
slammed with indefinite suspension on Monday by the management of the corporation, after officials of the corporation were shown the chats where the workers allegedly insulted the governor.

Makanjuola is said to be a level 12 officer at
the OSBC Ventures while Adepoju is a deputy
director at the corporation's Marketing Department.

Adepoju allegedly wrote, "Drama in Osun State
as state government, under the leadership of
Rauf Aregbesola, begins the payment of June
salaries at exactly 1am on Osun West
Senatorial by-election day.

"Local government and state civil servants
from Osun West Senatorial District, please
don't be deceived by the alerts, the alert is
your entitlement and not a gift. You worked
for it, even though you deserve more. Don't
because you get your half salaries, unexpectedly behind the usual schedule, give your votes to the APC. They are full of deceit. Vote for liberation, vote Ademola Adeleke, vote PDP."

Another worker of the OSBC, Mrs. Folakemi
Alonge, who is a journalist, was said to have
been queried for allegedly insulting a member
of the House of Assembly at one of the
polling units during the election.

A source told our correspondent that the
lawmaker accosted Alonge and asked her who
she voted for but the journalist, who was said
to have been angered by the question, asked
the lawmaker to leave her alone or else she
would embarrass him openly.

The source said, "The lawmaker reported her
to the management and the management
queried her but the issue has been resolved.

"The two other persons were suspended
indefinitely for allegedly abusing the governor,
on a WhatsApp group. Those, who are loyal to
the governor showed the chats to the
management and they were given indefinite
suspension on Monday."

When contacted, the Commissioner for
Information, Mr. Adelani Baderinwa, said the
suspension was an internal matter of the
OSBC and not that of the state government.
