By Jenniefr Y Omiloli

Subsequent to being confirmed as the new minister of interior by President Muhammadu Buhari, the previous Osun state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has said he has no knowledge of how the service works.

The minister expressed this on Wednesday, August 21, during his visit to the ministry soon after he was initiated and relegated portfolio.

The previous governor conceded that he has no clue about the ministry’s policies and operations apart from perusing tales about the ministry on the pages of papers.

He said: “My relationship with the ministry is distant. What I know about the ministry is what I read in the newspapers.”

Aregbesola instructed the permanent secretary, Barrister Georgina Ehuriah, to continue running the ministry till Monday, August 26, when he would formally take over.

He said: “I will come to take over on Monday. I give the permanent secretary the grace to run the ministry till then. We will be ready by Monday to take on the huge assignment.

“I promise you a realistic, reasonable and commendable leadership.”
