I HAVE PROVEN MY LOVE FOR IWO, SAYS ADELEKE


The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has reiterated his committed to the development of Iwo, noting that the construction of the first ever dual-carriageway in the ancient town is a manifestation of his deep love for Iwo town.

Governor Adeleke said his administration has changed the story of Iwo unlike the deceit that characterised the past under his predecessors, saying that the newly constructed dual carriageway will open up Iwo for genuine development.

"In the past, Iwo had suffered neglect. These great people were abandoned by many past leaders," Governor Adeleke noted, adding that "Our administration changed that story. We stopped the fake saying of 'Iwo is my second city'. We opened up this city for genuine development.

"In the beginning, some people doubted our sincerity. They thought we were playing politics when we announced the dualisation project. 

"Today, we prove that we truly love Iwo people. Iwo City Centre and Palace Square are now redesigned and reconstructed. This multi-focussed dualisation project is concluded to the glory of God and man."

Governor Adeleke said his opponents deliberately instigated the unlawful seizure of local governments fund to disrupt the developmental projects embarked upon across the state by his administration, maintaining that his government's sole goal is to fast-track Osun development notwithstanding obstacles placed on its way.

"The opposition was shocked by our commitment to the development of Iwo and other cities and towns in Osun state. That was the reason they invented the local government crisis to financially strangulate us," he said.

"Despite these anti-people, anti-development actions, we completed many mega-projects for Iwo, Ila Orangun, Ile Ife, Ilesa, Osogbo, Ede and several towns in Osun state. We broke the chains of under-development. 

"The sole goal of our leadership is to fast track Osun development through life changing projects and programmes. We are doing this on the basis of fairness to all, better life for Osun people and collective prosperity for residents and sons and daughters of our dear state.

"We are committed to taking this vision further. We are determined to commence the second phase of the project once we are re-elected on August 15. We need your continuous support and backing for more transformation to take place. Iwo city and Osun state in general should never go back to slavery and deceitful governance” concluded the Governor.

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor.
