Posted by On Tuesday, Governor Ademola Adeleke of the State of Osun gave the Interior Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the assurance that the state government would support him in upholding and enshrining his lofty policies and programs.
Adeleke assured Aregbesola that he is always welcome in the state and promised to complete all projects started by the previous governor for the development of the state.
At the official commissioning of the Ilesa Passport Front Office and Production Center, the Governor made the commitment there in Ilesa.
He believed that politics and party lines should not influence governance, and that it should be centered on bringing forward-thinking changes to the populace.
Adeleke also sought the support of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and other security agencies to his administration’s drive to tackle illegal mining in the state.
The Governor stated:-.
“Mr. Minister, I am assuring you that this is your state, nobody can chase you away. This is your state, you are welcome anytime. Even, you can come around to the government house. When I complete all of the structures I am currently working on at the government house, I will personally invite you to commission them.
“No matter the party you are, if you are a progressive in as much as you are doing what the people want. When he was Governor, he loved the people and the people loved him. All the projects Ogbeni left were abandoned for years. I promised the people during my campaign that I am going to continue the projects. That is what I am doing. ”.
In his remarks, Aregbesola appreciated the governor for gracing the event, noting that his disposition to honour him despite party differences, is worthy of note.
“I am very grateful for your presence Governor Ademola Adeleke. Without making a personal call to him, he chose to honour us with his physical presence and that of everybody the Governor’s office. It is indeed remarkable as my predecessor only attended my official engagement in the state once, throughout his tenure. This is my first official assignment in the state after your assumption of office, which you have come to grace. ”.
