The Head of Service, Dr. Festus Olowogboyega Oyebade, in a memo announced the appointment of the new Permanent Secretary on behalf of the state government, the paper said.
However, Adeleke threatened to sack the appointees when he takes over two days from now.
Adeleke, who spoke through his media aide, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, warned the officials that they would be fired.
