I’ve fulfilled my promise of good governance, says Adeleke

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has said his administration has fulfilled the promises made to the people during the 2022 governorship campaign, pledging to deliver more developmental projects if re-elected.

 

Adeleke made the remarks during the Imole Campaign Council’s consultation and mobilisation tour in Erin-Osun and Ilobu in Irepodun Local Government Area ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

 

According to a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the governor thanked residents for their support and assured them that greater achievements await the state if he secures a second term.

 

“I appreciate your support. When we came here in 2022, I promised you good governance, and I have fulfilled what I promised.

 

“But the people have not seen anything yet. We will do much more for Osun State,” Adeleke said.

 

At the grand finale of the campaign rally in Ilobu, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, speaking on behalf of stakeholders in Irepodun Local Government, passed a vote of confidence in Adeleke’s administration and pledged overwhelming support for his re-election.

 

The Elerin of Erin-Osun, Oba Yusuf Adekunle, also prayed for the governor’s successful re-election, expressing confidence that residents would renew his mandate.

 

Similarly, the Olobu of Ilobu, Oba Ashiru Olatoye, assured the governor of the support of the people of Ilobu and Irepodun Local Government.

 

“You have our prayers and our support. Ilobu stands with you, and the people of Irepodun Local Government will once again support your re-election. May God grant you victory and strengthen you to continue delivering good governance and development across Osun State,” the monarch said.

 

Osun voters are expected to elect a governor on August 15, with 14 political parties fielding candidates in the election.
