Why I Turned Down Gov Adeleke’s Board Chairman’s Appointment – Osun APC Factional Chair

Factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun state, Mr Rasaq Salinsile, yesterday, said he declined his appointment by Governor Ademola Adeleke as Chairman of the Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM Board.

Governor Adeleke had announced the appointment of Chairmen and Vice Chairmen for non-statutory boards in the state and Salinsile, a member of the defunct The Osun Progressives, TOP, was announced as the Chairman of TESCOM.

However, a few days later while issuing a statement announcing the names of Special Advisers, the Governor announced another person, Tope Adeyemi, as the TESCOM chairman.

It was also noticed that Salinsile, an associate of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola, was not at the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday.

When contacted, Salinsile said he declined the appointment for personal reasons.

He said: “I am telling you now that I declined the board chairman to which I was appointed by Governor Ademola Adeleke for personal reasons.”
