Comrade Arapasopo said the records of the governor in respect of the welfare of workers is unrivaled and unprecedented in the history of Osun State, declaring that ‘Mr Governor has made landmark achievements which have touched the heartland mind of every Osun worker’.
‘We have therefore gathered here to show appreciation to Mr Governor for his uncommon care and support for the workers. We are hereby declaring that there is no vacancy in Abere Governor’s office in 2026.
We are satisfied with your exceptional performance, not just for the workers but across all sectors in Osun state. Your good work is everywhere.
By May Day of 2025, we will officially endorse you for a second term in office as a performing and responsive governor. For the re-election bid, we stand solidly at your back and by your side’ the NLC chairman declared.
Corroborating the NLC Chairman, the TUC State Chairman, Comrade Fasasi said Governor Adeleke as a pro-labour leader has the unwavering support of the unions, declaring that ‘Governor Adeleke is our man now and beyond 2026’.
‘We are ever grateful for your love for the workers. We are with you. Workers are with you. Families and associates of workers are with you. You are truly a light and the light is shining on us and our families’ the TUC Chairman said.
Responding amidst dancing and singing, Governor Adeleke, who led the chorus of ‘eminikan loye, kole ye enikankan’, expressed appreciation to the workforce for their open endorsement and approval of his performance in office, pledging to do more in service to the workers and the people of the state.
‘To me, every worker deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. The government has a duty to fully attend to the welfare of workers, especially the bureaucracy that is the engine room of the government.
It is a sin to neglect welfare of workers. I affirm my passionate commitment to the welfare of workers, now and all the time. The more we have the resources, the more we will deepen our pro-worker programmes and policies.
We are doing this because there is a link between Osun informal and formal workers. Until we complete the agro-industrialization of Osun state, the civil service remains the main driver of the economy of the state. So, any care for the public service is largely a support for all Osun State people.
With your support, I will push ahead with the implementation of our five- point agenda for which welfare of workers is Number One. Together, we shall take Osun to greater heights’ the governor told the cheering workers-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
