Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has pledged to deliver more developmental projects and programmes across the state if re-elected in the forthcoming governorship election.
Adeleke made the promise during the Imole Campaign Council’s consultation and mobilisation tour in Erin-Osun and Ilobu, both in Irepodun Local Government Area, ahead of the August 15 governorship poll.
According to a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke said his administration had fulfilled the promises made to the people during the 2022 electioneering campaign.
He expressed confidence that an additional term in office would enable his administration to achieve even greater milestones.
“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.
Speaking at the grand finale of the campaign rally in Ilobu, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, who spoke on behalf of stakeholders in Irepodun Local Government Area, passed a vote of confidence in the governor’s administration.
Yusuf also assured Adeleke of “overwhelming support and victory in the August 15 governorship election.”
In their separate remarks, the Elerin of Erin-Osun, Oba Yusuf Adekunle, offered prayers for Adeleke’s successful re-election.
The monarch also expressed confidence that the people of Erin-Osun would once again entrust the governor with the mandate to continue the development of the state.
Similarly, the Olobu of Ilobu, Oba Ashiru Olatoye, assured Adeleke and members of the Imole Campaign Council of the support of the Ilobu community, expressing optimism that voters in Irepodun Local Government Area would back the governor’s second-term bid.
“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.
The Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, with 14 political parties fielding candidates for the poll.
