2026 Re-Election: Adeleke Dismisses ‘Pull-Him-Down’ Campaigns, Vows to Sustain Osun’s Transformation
As the contest for his re-election approaches, Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has declared that no opposition party or pressure group can derail his administration’s transformational agenda, despite what he described as ongoing “pull-him-down” campaigns.
The governor made the assertion during the foundation-laying ceremony of the Osun Development Association (ODA) House and the launch of the Teachers Transformation and Empowerment Programme in Osogbo.
Adeleke, who was represented by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Dr Bunmi Jenyo, said his administration remains undeterred and committed to delivering more projects and reforms across the state.
“My administration will not rest or grow weary of initiating impactful projects while seeking partnerships with individuals and organisations to further strengthen the foundation for Osun’s future growth,” the governor said.
He stressed that the government is focused on expanding opportunities for young people, empowering communities and attracting investments that would create jobs and improve the standard of living of residents.
Commending the Osun Development Association for its contributions to the state’s development, Adeleke assured the group of his administration’s readiness to deepen collaboration to enhance Osun’s economic viability.
According to him, the state has recorded notable progress in road rehabilitation, school renewal, healthcare facility upgrades and social protection programmes.
“Our commitment to the prompt payment of salaries and pensions has restored confidence and dignity in public service,” he said, adding that more projects and reforms are currently underway.
Speaking at the event, ODA Chairman, Dr Segun Aina, said the teachers’ empowerment initiative would improve classroom delivery and enhance students’ performance in both internal and external examinations.
He noted that the association has previously implemented programmes aimed at stimulating economic growth and supporting the education and health sectors in the state.
Dr Aina also appealed to the state government to allocate land for the development of industrial parks, which he said would attract investors, boost commerce and strengthen Osun’s economy.
Also speaking, a foundation member of ODA and former Registrar of the National Business and Technical Examinations Board (NABTEB), Prof. Olu Aina, pledged support towards the successful execution of the association’s projects. Read More
