The pulpit of the Governor also carried an emblem that is not the State logo.

It was further gathered the State flags have been removed and replaced with those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Government Office, Abere. The PDP flags have been hoisted at Oke-Fia park too.

But Osun Assembly cautioned Adeleke stressing that usage of the State Anthem, Crest, and Flag is an enactment of the law.

 

A statement by the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Moshood Akande reads: “The State of Osun House of Assembly having reviewed the inaugural speech of the Governor and the activities of the inauguration hereby resolves as follows; The enactment ‘State of Osun Anthem, Crest and Flag Law, 2012’ assented to on the 18th of December, 2012 contained in Schedule I, Il, Ill, IV, and V, which carefully details every component of this law is not in ambiguity.

“Schedule I is the State Anthem, Schedule II has to do with the State Crest, and Schedule III is the symbolic significance of the elements in the Flag.

“Lastly, while we are aware of a court judgment in effect recognizing “Osun State”, the Assembly, pending the determination and exhaustion of all legal means would not be drawn into this matter.

“However, the State shall and will continue to be described as the State of the Virtuous (Ipinle Omoluabi).”
