Obasanjo Urges Governor Adeleke To Prioritize Osun’s Progress

Obasanjo Urges Governor Adeleke To Prioritize Osun’s ProgressFormer President Olusegun Obasanjo has praised Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for his developmental achievements and encouraged him to stay focused on advancing the state and the Yoruba people. Speaking on Tuesday at the inauguration of the 2.7-kilometre Old Garage-Lameco Road in Osogbo, Obasanjo urged Adeleke to rise above the shortcomings of previous administrations and prioritize the state’s progress.

Obasanjo emphasized the importance of Osun’s development, noting that it is crucial for the entire Yoruba race, given that Ile-Ife, the birthplace of the Yoruba people, is located in the state. He encouraged Adeleke to focus on the future and work towards elevating the state to greater heights, benefiting the Yoruba people both locally and globally.

He said, “Ile-Ife, the cradle of the Yoruba race, is in Osun State, so the development of Osun is in the interest of the entire Yoruba race. Ignore the failures of your predecessors and concentrate on advancing Osun. By doing so, you will be doing good for the Yoruba people worldwide.”

Obasanjo also expressed his support for Adeleke, acknowledging the governor’s achievements in just two years. “I decided to be here against all odds because of the successes Governor Adeleke has achieved within such a short period. He has proven his critics wrong, showing that he is not just a good dancer but also a capable performer,” Obasanjo added.

Governor Adeleke, in his address, reiterated his commitment to the development of Osun State, outlining his administration’s five-point agenda aimed at reviving the state’s economy through infrastructure projects. He highlighted the completion of over 120 kilometers of roads across the state, including several inter-city and inter-state roads. Adeleke also mentioned the ongoing construction of two major flyovers in Osogbo, as well as the progress on the Ile-Ife Flyover and the Ilesa dualization project.

He further outlined plans for the completion of the Iwo-Osogbo road and the dualization of the Odoori-Adeeke road, which will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will reach the Post-Office and Oluwo Palace, while the second phase will extend from the Post Office to Adeeke Junction.

For the second half of his administration, Adeleke reassured the people of Osun that his government would complete all ongoing projects and continue addressing the state’s infrastructure and social needs. “We will strike a balance between hard and soft infrastructure, and I promise to deliver on all our commitments,” he said.
