The scion of the Adeleke Dynasty, Dr Deji Adeleke, has pledged to be a strong promoter and defender of good governance under the administration of his younger brother, Senator Ademola Adeleke, the governor-elect of Osun State.
The business mogul made the pledged while speaking during the convocation ceremony of the Adeleke University, Ede, today.
Adeleke, in a statement by Mallam Olawale Rasheed, assured the people of Osun State that he will be a guarantor of responsible governance, listening and serving the best interest of the state.
He gave an assurance that the people of the state would witness an administration that would be guided and characterised by good governance, accountability, probity and transparency.
He said he will not only support his brother to deliver on his electoral promises, but also be a whistle-blower against bad governance and serve as a guarantor for a government that would deliver dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
The elder Adeleke reaffirmed that there will be no godfatherism under his brother and asserted that he will be the first to call out the government in cases of errors in governance, noting that there will be no place for corrupt appointees in the new administration.
The founder of Adeleke University declared that the incoming governor will not allow those interested in self-enrichment to make his cabinet and government.
He also assure that, under the Senator Ademola Adeleke administration, Osun State government would be regulated by probity, accountability and transparency.
Making a pledge to the people of the state, Dr Adeleke Adeleke dispelled insinuations that the incoming governor will refund billions of naira expended on his elections.
He said such an insinuation is baseless and unfounded, declaring that he is committed to further investment in Osun State as he has done in other parts of the federation.
Dr Adeleke said no refund is expected from the governor-elect as the Adeleke family undertook the project with the sole goal of liberating Osun people from bad governance and irresponsive leadership.
“Let me reassure Osun people that Senator Ademola Adeleke is not and will not be under the influence of any godfather. He is a man of himself who will work assiduously for the great people of Osun State who graciously elected him,” he affirmed.
