According to Makinde who spoke in the Executive Chambers of the Government Secretariat after receiving the report of the Transition Committee, the newly-appointed CPS would hear of his appointment through the media as the choice was made after a diligent research.
After announcing the two appointments, the governor ended the session, promising to read the transition report and still invite the members to put in their imputes.
“I don’t think I have a lot of problems reading this handover note to me because I will read it myself. We are not transiting to different players. Myself and the Deputy Governor have been at the forefront of the last administration and we are still there.
“So, this is just symbolic. We have received the notes. It will guide me on the days ahead on how we will start the Omituntun 2.0”, Makinde said.
