 PDP guber candidate, Senator Ademola Adeleke has congratulated the people of Osun State on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the creation of the state.  He also promised to redeem the lost glory of the state if elected Governor in the 22nd September guber poll. Senator Adeleke made this known in a congratulatory message made available to Global Excellence by the Director, Media and Publicity, Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Olawale Rasheed.  ‘Today, Osun State is synonymous with poverty, hunger and economic hardship.

Today, Osun is an indebted state with huge repayment burden. Education and health sectors are in shambles. We must redeem our state from the evil of bad government. My late brother, Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke laid solid foundations for modern Osun State. Other governors followed same path and did their best. The incumbent has, however, eroded and mortgaged the state through bad governance and corruption -induced policies and programmes. The people of Osun State are reeling under untold hardship due to leadership wickedness and insensitivity. We must use the occasion of the state anniversary to reverse these retrogressive steps. Osun must place premium on human development as the foundation of sustainable development of our dear state’, he said.  While congratulating the state founding fathers, Adeleke who lauded their efforts also encouraged the people of the state not to lose hope as there is according to him, divine hope at the end of the tunnel. ‘I urge our people to remain steadfast and unwavering in their resolve to change the ‘change’. Osun must be set on humanity driven path. We must see development as one beyond roads and bridges. We must ensure balance between human and capital development.

My six-point agenda which will be unveiled shortly addresses all the concerns of our people. I have detailed plans covering all strategic sectors as well as the capacity and the passion to deliver. If elected as Governor of Osun State, I will redeem the lost glory of our dear state’, Adeleke submitted. Osun State was created on the 27th of August 1991 by the then Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida.
