The Osun State House of Assembly on Monday rejected Governor Ademola Adeleke decision to revert to the state\u2019s old name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adeleke<\/span>, who was inaugurated as Osun State\u2019s sixth executive governor on Sunday, had during his inaugural address ordered the state to return to its old identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former governor Rauf Aregbesola changed the state\u2019s name from Osun State to \u201cState of Osun\u201d in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in a statement issued by the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Moshood Akande, the Assembly said the anthem, crest, and flag of the state was an enactment of a law signed on December 18, 2012, and cannot be changed by anybody.<\/span><\/p>\n

The parliament declared that the state would continue to be known as the \u201cState of Osun\u201d and \u201cIpinle Omulabi\u201d respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement read: \u201cThe State of Osun House of Assembly having reviewed the inaugural speech of the Governor and the activities of the inauguration hereby resolves as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe usage of the State Anthem, Crest and Flag is an enactment of the law and as such, its usage is a matter of law and not choice.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe enactment \u2018State of Osun Anthem, Crest and Flag Law, 2012\u2019 assented to on December 18, 2012, contained in Schedule 1, II, III, IV and V, which carefully details every component of this law is not in ambiguity.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cSchedule 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.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cLastly, while we are aware of a court judgment in effect recognising \u2018Osun State,\u2019 the Assembly, pending the determination and exhaustion of all legal means would not be drawn into this matter.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
