Abuja-based human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has described as Perfect Team, the composition of the newly inaugurated Osun State Executive Council, even as he congratulated Wole Jimi-Bada on his appointment as the Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General of the State.
He described Jimi-Bada as a square peg in the square hole, saying that as the chief law officer of the State, he will bring his dedication, mastery of law and experience garnered over the decades to establish justice, fairness and the rule of law in Osun.
In a statement on Thursday, Olajengbesi, who is also a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a grassroot politician in Osun State, also hailed Governor Ademola Adeleke; his Deputy, Kola Adewusi, as well as the other 22 distinguished individuals sworn in on Wednesday as Commissioners in Osun State.
Olajengbesi, a Managing Partner at Abuja-based law firm, Law Corridor, tasked the appointees to work harmoniously with Senator Adeleke for the progressive development and growth of the state.
“The 25-member State Executive Council is a perfect and winning team. All the personalities appointed are outstanding and stellar in quality, character and professionalism. The team of technocrats carefully handpicked by the governor will guarantee steady progress and geometric development of the people of Osun State was certain,” Olajengbesi said.
Recall that Senator Adeleke, on Wednesday, swore in the new Commissioners and announced their portfolios after their screening and confirmation by the Osun State House of Assembly.
The governor declared himself as the State Commissioner for Works, with his deputy as Commissioner for Sports and Special Needs.
