Governor Adeleke: A promise keeper

 Governor Adeleke: A promise keeper


by SALAM TUNDE AKEEM


It is not an overstatement to regard Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke as a talk and do man and a promise keeper.


It will be interesting to see the kindhearted, dedicated, elegant, committed and ever ready to sacrifice his office gains for the benefits and satisfaction of residents of the State at all levels.


It was another milestone for the present administration under the leadership of Ede born politician, Senator Adeleke on the 11th August, 2023 at the multipurpose Hall of Local Government Service Commission, Abere as another tranche of *2.1b* bond certificates were presented to retirees at the State, Local Government and Primary School Teachers.


This was done in line with his aspiration to see to the welfare of workers and retirees in Osun. 


In his remarks, Governor Ademola Adeleke noted that the occasion was necessary as his administration is poised on correcting the errors of the past, noting that it was his electoral promise to prioritize workers' and retiree's welfare if elected, so as to deliver them from  past hardships.


He stressed that the payment template which his government has drawn is still in force, stating that even when paucity of funds was threatning the implementation, he insisted that the senior citizens must be satisfied. He then assured the retirees that he will never play politics with their welfare. 


The State helmsman equally stated that since his assumption of office, he has been satisfying both young and old, through denying himself of some accouterments of office,  in order to serve the interest of residents of Osun.


While assuring the retirees that  his administration is working on enrolling them under free health insurance scheme,the Governor appealed to them to exercise more patience, saying he has them in mind and remain resolute to do everything possible to make life more comfortable for them.

Osun Government Says Governor Adeleke did not Grant Clemency to a Murderer, Accuses Insightinks of Peddling Fake News The attention of Osun state Government has been drawn to a recent misleading online media report whimsically titled *Osun: Adeleke pardons suspected murderer who confessed to slitting friend's throat for money ritual* . The said speculative online report was not only fake, jaundiced and misleading but totally out of place with the existing reality, as it can also be at best be ascribed to a grandiose mischief to paint the person and government of Senator Ademola Adeleke in bad light . It would be recalled that, few days ago, Osun State Governor, Governor Ademola Adeleke, as part of activities to mark the 65th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria, granted pardon to 36 convicts serving various jail terms in both Ilesha and Ife Correctional facilities in Osun State. The action taken by Mr Governor in this regard in line with his official position as the Chief Security ...
