Osun State Governor-Elect, Senator Ademola Adeleke has reacted to report that he has reneged on his promise to clear backlog of salaries and pensions during a Channels TV interview.
A reaction by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, says “This is a lie from the pit of hell as Senator Adeleke throughout the interview never at any point disowned his promise to clear outstanding workers’ salaries, pension and gratuities and better the lives of all Osun people.
“Contrary to the frustrated mind of the deceitful author, the Governor – elect explained in detail how he will source for fund to meet the needs of workers including his unique promise of reviewing issue of leakages in state finance and redirecting security votes to meet urgent state needs.
“In the interview, Senator Adeleke not only reiterated his pledge to address workers’ welfare which is number one on his five-point agenda, he also affirmed that payment of workers’ entitlement will not be recorded as an achievement as a labourer deserves his pay.
On the larger governance issue, the Governor-elect touched on his plans for education, security, job creation, agriculture, infrastructure, debt management and other germane issues.
“A people still in shock at their defeat probably could not concentrate on the full interview to watch a Governor-elect displaying his clear grasp of issues and his preparedness to hit the ground running.
As Oyetola run a government of lies and propaganda, the troubled writer assumes all politicians are liars and double faced exploiters of the public.
For the Governor- elect, public office is a sacred trust in which the occupant must displayed honour and integrity. As a Senator , Senator Adeleke over-fulfilled his electoral promises which was arrested to across Osun West during the electioneering campaign. He will repeat that feat as Governor of Osun state.
“We remind the outgoing Governor that the Governor Elect is a man of honour with antecedent of close affinity with workers, women, youth and several interest groups within Osun state. The workers, pensioners and the mass of our people voted out of genuine conviction to reject a government of liars, falsehood and ineptitude.
“The outgoing Governor by his aspersions on Osun people is worsening his already battered image as even after his defeat ,he neither showed remorse but continue his path of describing Osun people as gullible and unintelligent.
“To the good people of Osun state, Senator Ademola Adeleke reiterated his commitment to his five point agenda as well as his readiness to serve the people with full sincerity and openness. He is not only prepared for the task ahead but has an action plan to transform his five point agenda into reality.
