Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has terminated the appointment of all political office holders and dissolved the state Executive Council.
Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Transition and Inauguration Committee, Mr. Segun Ogunwuyi, revealed the news in a signed statement yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital .
The letter directed all the affected appointees to handover government properties in their custody to the most senior civil servant in their respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
The governor, however, excluded political office-holders in statutory Commissions from the directive, even as he appreciated the contributions of the affected appointees to the development of the state, wishing them successes in their future endeavours.
