Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State is set to flag off the dualisation of the Ila Orangun Township Road, in spite of prevailing distractions across his way.
Spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, stated this in a press release, on Saturday, adding that Adeleke remained undistracted by some unsubstantiated statements.
He added that despite the unsubstantiated statements on a national television, allegedly by some politicians, particularly a failed governorship candidate, Governor Adeleke will also off flag the second phase dualisation of the Osogbo/Ikirun/Ila Odo Kwara State Boundary Road.
“The said politician and few others have said all sorts of things which are at variance with the reality and facts of our achievements in the infrastructure sector across Osun State.
“These misrepresentations and misinformation have only strengthened my resolve to push ahead with the all inclusive infrastructure upgrade and delivery of good governance in our dear state,” Olawale quoted the governor to have said while hosting some Osun elders who paid him a courtesy visit.
Governor stated that his administration has positively transformed Osun State, as acknowledged by local and international bodies, citing several reports by federal agencies and non-governmental groups, which rated Osun very high across all indices.
The governor flaunted several awards on infrastructure revolution, health sector excellence, new examination performance rating, digital economy innovation, agricultural mechanisation, sport sector reforms, business sector enhancement, water sector upgrade and artisanal cooperative empowerment.
“Our excellent performance was affirmed by patriots, lovers of true developments, friends and even foes.
“The latest national table on states fiscal transparency for 2025 first quarter places Osun in number 5 position out of 36 states. Our administration is transparent, accountable, and compliant with due process requirements.
“Our critics are worried by our extraordinary performance within less than three years, hence their resorts to name calling, blackmail and libelous allegations. We will not get distracted by petty politicking and desperate attempts to stop our rigorous service to the people.
“In continuation of our pact and promises to the people, our people of Ila Orangun, Ifelodun, and Odo Otin local government areas s will host me next week.
“I will be flagging off the dualisation of Ila Orangun Township Road as well as the second phase of the Osogbo/Ikirun/Okuku Highway Dualisation.
“Myself and my team remain focussed and undistracted. I commend Osun people for their support and unwavering commitment to good governance as represented by our government,” Governor Adeleke told the visiting elders.
