News Update

THE Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has endorsed Senator Ademola Adeleke, for a second term in office as Osun state Governor.

The governor made the announcement on Wednesday while commissioning the Stadium roundabout-Okebaale roundabout-Testing ground roundabout-Ilesa garage road projects completed by Gov Adeleke’s administration, in Osogbo.

According to him, “I congratulate Governor Adeleke for delivering dividends of democracy to the people of Osun State. The reward for hard work is more work, so give him more work to do for another four years.”

While rejoicing with Governor Adeleke for the landmark achievements recorded within two years in office, Gov Makinde promised full support for the battle ahead to secure victory.

Gov Makinde urged the people of Osun not to allow darkness to return to the state, adding that the road projects would boost the economy of Osun.

He described himself and Gov Adeleke as true progressives in the southwest who will continue to lead the path and provide good leadership for the people.

Speaking earlier, the Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, paid tribute to the former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who started the road projects before they were abandoned by the previous government.

He noted that Aregbesola will be happy about the completion of the projects, while reiterating that his administration has vowed not to abandon any projects since inception, as they are public assets that must be managed for the benefit of the people.

Gov Adeleke added that the completion of the dualization within record time will expand the economic growth of the capital city, Osogbo, and save people from untimely death and injuries.

The Governor advised against reckless driving and breaching of driving safety protocols, affirming that most accidents recorded on the ongoing road projects were caused by overspeading and one-way driving, while appealing to road users to be safety conscious.
