We Will Not Succumb To Blackmail From Those Who Failed Osun People For Decades – Gov Adeleke

The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has said that he remains committed to the ongoing infrastructural upgrades in the state.

He noted that he would not succumb to political blackmail by the opposition.

The governor further accused opposition members of promoting ethnic division among the people.

He stated this on Wednesday while commissioning state projects as part of his midterm anniversary.

The governor, who emphasized his focus on both soft and hard infrastructure in Osun, added, “Our delivery of good governance is not dictated by ethnic or religious considerations. We treat all towns and cities as our constituency, without fear or favor. As a Senator and now as a Governor, I am an agent of development for all our people.

“Our administration is opposed to the politicization of development. Politics must be an instrument of development, not a tool to divide and retard the progress of our people. Developmental politics is and should be at the heart of development.

“Our administration is determined to press ahead with infrastructure upgrades in Osun State across all sectors. We will not succumb to political blackmail from those who failed our people for decades. We will continue to revive projects they abandoned for several years.”

While assuring the residents of the state that resources would be judiciously deployed to build and provide social amenities, he emphasized that he would not relent in creating facilities that would ease the economic and social lives of the people.

He also asserted that his administration sees no limitations to Osun’s potential for greatness.

“As for me and my team, we will deploy state resources to build our roads, airports, water systems, schools, and hospitals, as well as address the social and soft infrastructure needs of our people. Our government will not relent in creating and recreating facilities to enhance the economic and social lives of Osun people.

“If others are limited in their vision for the future of Osun State, our administration is ambitious, forward-looking, and sees no limits to the greatness Osun can achieve as a state.”

“That is the spirit behind the five-point agenda; that is the motivation for our incredible performance in the last two years,” he added.
