Gov Adeleke storms Osun Assembly, says focus should be on good governance not ‘PDP or APC’
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, on Monday, said his administration will join hands with the Osun State House of Assembly in moving the state forward, with a view to delivering expected benefits of democracy to the people of the state.
Governor Adeleke stated this during during a courtesy call on the Assembly.
According to him, the time for politics is over and focus should be shifted to working together for the benefit of the people.
Promising to be Governor for all, Adeleke said he will be fair and just in the discharge of the responsibility of his office, assuring the state legislature of close partnership in state governance as dictated by the law.
“Let us all accept the fact that election is over, and the focus now should be how to effect governance,” he said.
“I want to assure you here that my government will be fair to all. There should not be PDP or APC or any other party, for that matter, in our considerations, but delivering governance to Osun people.”
“I want Osun to be a reference point in governance. This is possible if we work together for our people, as our collaboration will ensure a peaceful state, and make it easier for investors to come here.”
Governor Adeleke hailed the assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, for the maturity and understanding demonstrated so far, noting the readiness of his administration to fully partner with them in taking Osun state to greater heights.
“The naysayers had hoped that by now, Osun will go up in flames as a result of friction between the House and the Executive, but that is not happening. This is why I must commend the House, particularly the leadership, Mr Speaker, for putting the interest of the people of the state above every other consideration,” he added.
“It is my expectation that we continue on this path as that is what will bring the needed benefits for Osun people. This administration considers the House as an important partner, and I want to assure you that we will be open and fair to you.”
In his remarks, the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, expressed the readiness of the house to collaborate with the new administration in delivering good governance for Osun people.
Owoeye said the state’s legislature under him will always prioritize the interest of the people above every other interest, noting that the people made it possible for them to be in their positions and should be their focus.
