Governor Ademola Adeleke has called on Osun citizens and residents at home and abroad to embrace developmental politics as a platform for unity and partnership for state development.
He made the appeal today while receiving members of Osun Leaders of Thoughts and other prominent state opinion leaders who visited him in celebration of 2025 Eid-El-Fitr.
The Governor who recalled his non-partisan approach to governance since assumption of office in November 2022, said his agenda is about all round, comprehensive development of Osun state without minding partisan affiliations.
Describing his embrace of developmental politics as a passion for public service, Governor Adeleke noted that political power should be used to positively touch the lives of the people, adding, “impacting on our people and state are my focus and preoccupation.
“From 2022 to date, I govern with the interest of our people at heart. I retained contractors inherited from my predecessor. I did not abandon projects inherited from past governments. I already completed many of them.
“I don’t look at your political affiliations; I think of your capacity to do the job. When projects are to be sited, I care less about what party beneficiaries are aligned with. I was just told that our administration has tarred the road that passes through the house of the APC National Secretary, here in Osogbo.
“Our administration targets development of infrastructure, of our people, of sons and daughters of Osun state. That is what I called politics- bringing positive changes to residents and citizens”, the Governor was quoted as saying.
The State Governor appealed to the leaders of thought and citizens who visited him from Sunday to Monday at the Government House to preach developmental politics and advocate against politics of hatred and retrogression.
“I urge you to reach out to our people at home and abroad. We must support any administration that is making a difference in the lives of our people and state. That is the only way we can take our state to greater heights.
“Our administration has fulfilled its electoral promises. We have performed exceptionally well just two years plus four or so months into our tenure. We have proved our loyalty to our oath of office to serve only the best interest of our people.
“We have earned the trust and loyalty of the population. Our government has shown that it is possible to deliver good things in life as quickly as possible. We therefore solicit for continued support of our people to complete all the great projects and programmes we are working on.
“On behalf of Our government, I assure you and our people at home that I won’t be distracted in service delivery and good governance. I will continue to deliver on my mandate so that when I return to the people next year, I will get their nod again”, the Governor told the various delegations.
