“Even though some went overboard, engaged in an overbearing attitude and were destructive towards the cause we believed in. All those have now been left behind. The victory God granted us has overwhelmed whatever anybody might have done to me in the past. The goal now is how to move Osun forward.”

The Governor further praised the two monarchs for playing a huge fatherly role in the governorship project by standing as a pillar of support for him and his family.

He assured the monarchs that he would not disappoint the trust the people have in him and will continue to strive to make Osun better than he met it with infrastructural development.

“They initially said most of the applaudable projects we embarked on when we started our administration were because of the 2023 general election, but interestingly, we’ve never stopped delivering on projects in the state so far.

“I want to assure our royal fathers and the good people of Osun that distraction is over. We will not disappoint you. We have the authority and power now, we will use it justly for the progress of this state and the welfare of the people.”

In his remarks, Oba Olaonipekun said the sound footing Adeleke had started his administration with has given a clear signal of a departure from the past and a brilliant outcome of what to expect.

“You have started your administration brilliantly and I’m impressed with the steps you’re taking each day in the delivery of good governance for the people of our state. With my royal authority, I hereby endorse you for another term in office and continuity of the government you’re heading in the state,” he said.NYSC Portal
