Ademola Adeleke, the Governor of Osun State, has dismissed his administration’s critics as jealous of his accomplishments.
In a statement made by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, the governor asserts that he has successfully introduced good governance in the South-Western state over the last 23 months.
He also made fun of the opposition APC in the state, saying his achievements in government have made them jealous.
The governor and his team made it a priority to address both big and small issues affecting the people of the state.
They believe in combining ambitious goals with practical solutions for the benefit of the people.
Gov Adeleke Claims Critics Envious of His Achievements in Osun
The statement reads…
“Governor Adeleke said his focus on delivering good governance and serving only public interest worries and confound the opposition which had failed woefully when it was given the opportunity to govern the state,”
“To my critics, I empathise and sympathize with them. When somebody succeeds where you fail, you are likely to be envious and even bitter.
That is human nature. But I encourage them to place public interest above private agenda. As for me, I have no option than to succeed”, the governor submitted.
“Silence by the church and clerics generally is not an option. Clerics must speak loud about free and fair elections, the dignity of all human beings, the superiority of public good over private interests, respect for the supremacy of the constitution, observance of the rule of law and equality of all citizens before the law.
“As a sitting governor, I firmly believe the clerics should mount advocacy on what impedes good governance namely autocracy, dictatorship, arbitrariness, the culture of impunity, self-perpetuation in office, suppression of opposition, corruption and failure to respond to aspirations of the people,” he added.
Final notes….
He claimed the opposition fails to comprehend his administration’s achievements, resorting to fake news, personal attacks, and blasphemous condemnation.
Adeleke also urged religious institutions to always speak the truth to those in power, emphasizing the need for positive interaction with political leaders.
