Channels Television reported on Tuesday that the governor had submitted a full list of commissioners and special advisers to the Osun State House of Assembly.

This came barely seven months after Adeleke was sworn in on November 27 and over a month after his victory in the July 16, 2022 governorship election was upheld at the Supreme Court.
