The factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Mr. Rasaq Salinsile, has rejected the appointment given to him by the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, citing personal reasons.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Salinsile said he declined the appointment for personal reasons.

Meanwhile, the state government has replaced Salinsile’s name with Tope Mustapha Adeyemi as Osun TESCOM Chairman.
