The appointment letter, personally signed by Adeleye and obtained by our correspondent, instructs Isiaka to resume duties on May 1st, 2024.
The letter reads, in part: “I have the pleasure to inform you that you have been appointed as my Special Assistant, based on our previous discussion.

The appointment takes immediate effect. Your duties will include the usual duties of the office and any other duties assigned to you. This appointment may be terminated with one month’s written notice or one month’s salary in lieu of notice. The appointment will automatically end when the 10th assembly’s tenure concludes in June 2027.
Adeleye has previously appointed ten aides to promote political participation and empowerment among his constituents.
