The Osun State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ademola Adeleke on Friday says Osun people’s moment of despair is almost over as he is poised to unseat the rudderless Gboyega Oyetola administration in the July 16 governorship poll.
Addressing a mammoth crowd at a rally held in Osogbo, the state capital, Senator Adeleke declared his readiness to reverse the unfavourable conditions on the people of the state as a result of Oyetola’s disastrous performance over the past three years.
Senator Adeleke said given his painstaking study of the need of the people, he has come up with clear plans that can offset their pains and cause a positive change in the situation of the people and the state. He went on to unveil a 5-point agenda that will drive his policy as Governor in order to meet the yearnings of the people.
He promised to give the welfare of workers and pensioners the attention it deserves, noting that as Governor he will ensure “First line charge for workers’ welfare, salaries, gratuities, and pensions.”
Others on the list are: “Boosting State economy by business partnering and support for business class; Osun money serving Osun people through homegrown infrastructure policy; People-focussed social policy through skill-based education, affordable health care, state security, and social security support; and Agro-based Industrialisation for wealth and job creation for youths and women.”
Senator Adeleke assured Osun people that he will work on putting the decaying infrastructures back in shape, saying unlike what is happening under the APC government, his main interest will be Osun people and not lining the pockets of friends and cronies.
Welcoming the mammoth crowd at the rally, the Director General of the Adeleke Campaign Organization, Hon Sunday Bisi urged the people of the state to eschew violence in the face of APC provocations but should do everything to protect their votes for the PDP in the July 16 governorship election.
According to the DG, APC are aware their time is up in the state, hence, their resort to all manners of antics, including habitual sweeping of PDP campaign venues as well as dishing out ‘end time’ promises.
Also speaking at the rally, a prominent leader of the party in the state, Akogun Lere Oyewumi commended the people of Osogbo and indeed Osun Central for their massive show of support for the PDP and the candidate, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke.
He admonished electorate in the senatorial district not to cave in to any form of intimidation in the forthcoming election, saying, nothing should dissuade them from replicating their unprecedented support at the poll.
