Adeleke’s Second Year in Office: Obasanjo Commissions Road, Applauds Governor’s Performance
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday inaugurated the Okefia-Old Garage-Lameco Road in Osogbo, Osun State, praising Governor Ademola Adeleke for his achievements during his two years in office.
Obasanjo, speaking at the event, described Adeleke as a practical leader with commendable managerial skills. He lauded the governor’s efforts in improving the state and prayed for safety and prosperity for all who would use the newly constructed road.
“When I arrived here, you told me about the pensioners owed by previous governments that you’ve paid. The advice I want to give you is that you should continue as you are doing,” Obasanjo said. “What you are elected for is to make lives easier for Osun people, and that is what you are doing. May God help you. Those who have been governors before you have written their own history, and you are also writing yours now. I want to assure you that I will always support you in whatever you do.”
Highlighting Osun State’s significance as the cradle of Yoruba civilization, Obasanjo emphasized that Adeleke’s developmental strides would have a broader impact on the entire Yoruba-speaking region.
In his remarks, Governor Adeleke reiterated his commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Osun State. He named the newly commissioned road after the late Chief Ajadi Badmus, the Asiwaju of Osogbo land, in recognition of his contributions to the community.
“I was voted into power to provide succor for the people of Osun State,” Adeleke said. “Many more developmental projects are still going to be embarked upon by this administration.”
He reaffirmed the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) reputation for initiating developmental and transformative projects, pledging that his administration would ensure progress across the state through robust infrastructure development.
The event marked a significant milestone in Adeleke’s administration and showcased its focus on improving the welfare of Osun residents through tangible projects and reforms.
