Osun governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has boasted that he has outperformed his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola, in terms of his achievements in just seven months he has been in office.
Adeleke spoke at a stakeholder meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held in Osogbo, Osun State capital on Friday.
He assured leaders of the PDP present at the meeting that his administration has been working in line with “our election promises and the agenda of the party.”
While detailing projects and interventions implemented so far recorded by his government in the health, education and public infrastructure renewal, Adeleke said the PDP- led government in the state has achieved what the APC failed to do under seven months.
“We are implementing programmes and projects in education, health and infrastructures: what the APC could not achieve in four years, we have achieved in under seven months,” he declared at the meeting.
“We have positioned the public service, build roads, bridges and channelisation. We have commenced payment of salary and pension debt.
“Your (PDP) government has launched the Osun digital economy agenda. Abandoned projects are being completed. Your government is beating old governance records within so short a period,” he stressed.
He also disclosed plans by his government to launch palliatives to cushion the impact of subsidy removal to make life easy for residents of the state.
Adeleke said, “We (Osun Government) will soon introduce public transport buses. We are working on adjusted work hours and days. We want to make live easy and enjoyable for our people.”
The Governor assured the party leaders and members that he will run an inclusive government that leaves no one behind, adding that “We will all be accommodated. We will be fair to all.”
“I appreciate your support then and now. This is your government. We shall all realize the fruits of our labour,” he said.
Speaking at the meeting, former Governor Oyinlola recalled the initial skepticism on the governorship of Governor Adeleke and posited that under seven months the Governor has proved skeptics wrong.
He noted the superlative performance of the Governor, which, he said aided the electoral fortunes of the party at the state and national elections.
“Governor Adeleke has surprised even his worst critics. His performance impresses all and it has strengthen the party and the state. We commend the Governor and his team”, the former Governor who speaks for other stakeholders noted
