Gov Adeleke Says Political Opponents Didn’t Give Much For His Chances As Oluwo Of Iwo Endorses Him For 2nd Term

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state has attributed the achievements recorded by his administration in 2023 to divine guidance, saying his political opponents did not give much for his chances.

The paramount ruler of Iwoland, Oba (Dr) Adewale Akanbi (Telu 1) , has  also endorsed him for a second term in office. 

The governor’s Special Adviser, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that the traditional ruler  gave this endorsement  on Tuesday during the Interfaith service held at the state secretariat to usher in the government and the state into the new year.

Governor Adeleke, in his remarks  during  the interfaith service acknowledged the hands of God Almighty in overcoming challenges in the early days of his administration, adding that he ‘directly experienced divine guidance in making state decisions’, which has resulted in the remarkable success recorded so far.

‘My dear people of faith, I have a disclosure to make. In the last one year, I directly experienced divine guidance in making state decisions. On several occasions, God almighty was my instructor in deciding on key issues. When I told you I govern with the fear of God, It is not a joke. Our leadership is a product of divine plan and manifestation.

The signs are everywhere even for our political opponents to see. I will share some of the examples for you all. When I assumed the governorship of our dear state, many serious problems existed. Such issues appeared to have defied all solutions. My predecessor deliberately added petrol to the fire by laying several bobby traps before he left office. Nobody expected solutions from us. The thoughts of detractors was the expectation of failure. 

But because we have a God who does not fail His beloved ones, doors open where none exist. The governance space witnessed policy innovations and implementation which provide answers to knotty state policy questions. Because we have a God who props up His favoured and chosen ones, our government successfully reset the button of the state public service, frontally addressed welfare of workers, put a smile on the faces of pensioners, restored local government, implemented infra agenda and set the tone for sustainable governance.

Through God and people of goodwill, we succeeded where opponents never gave us a chance. We broke jinx in critical areas and proved that Osun people can experience good governance despite all odds. Our government has manifested what many denied- that a God- led administration is a condition for successful leadership in state governance’ he said.

Governor Adeleke also appreciated workers and the people of Osun state for the support for his administration, urging them ‘to continue to maintain cohesion, love, and support for your government under my leadership. Let us continue to seek the face of God across the faiths for the success of our collective project’.

‘To our royal fathers and religious leaders, God is answering your prayers over me and my team. Do not relent in your prayers and guidance for us.

As I noted in my New Year message, we have grand ambition to take Osun to greater heights. I trust that with God and people, we shall achieve our lofty goals and agenda for our dear state’ he added.

‘We appreciate the governor for the commendable jobs being done in the state. They’re all commendable. 

Governor Adeleke is the driver of the Osun government, and by this, it is imperative for everyone in the state regardless of political divides to continue to support his administration to succeed.

Governor Ademola Adeleke, I’m declaring on behalf of other traditional rulers in the state that we’re fully in support of your government and its continuation for a second term in office’  the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba (Dr) Adewale Akanbi (Telu 1) , had earlier submitted .

The Iwo monarch also called for better welfare for the traditional institution in the state  while acknowledging that the governor has done his best for the Osun monarchs so far.

Prayers were offered for the progress of the state, economic advancement, peace, tranquility, political stability, security, and divine wisdom for the governor in continuing to govern the state.
