Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has said his government has successfully reset the button of the state public service.
Adeleke disclosed this at the annual inter-religious prayer section on Tuesday, held at the state government secretariat, Abere, said his administration has broken jinx in critical areas and proved that Osun people can experience good governance despite all odds.
He stated that through God and people of goodwill the present administration has succeeded where opponents never gave them a chance.
The governor noted that the government addressed workers’ welfare and put a smile on the faces of the senior citizens in the state.
He stated that the administration under his watch has also restored local governance with the implementation of infra agenda.
Adeleke commended the workers across Ministries and government Agencies in the state for their support, urging them to continue to maintain cohesion, love and support for the government under his leadership.
According to Adeleke, “Today, I am overjoyed to stand before you to proclaim that our state is free from bondage of the past. Through the prayers of the just, the people of God secures victory, salvation and redemption. A year after fervent pleas to our dear creator, we all feel and experience the hand of God in our lives and in the governance of our state. My dear people of Osun state, ours was and will continue to be a God guided leadership.
“My dear people of faith, I have personal confessions to make. In the last one year, I directly experienced divine guidance in making state decisions. On several occasions, God Almighty was my instructor in deciding on key issues. When I told you I govern with the fear of God, It is not a joke. Our leadership is a product of divine plan and manifestation.
“The signs are everywhere even for our political opponents to see. I will share some of the examples for you all. When I assumed the governorship of our dear state, many serious problems existed. Such issues appeared to have defied all solutions. My predecessor deliberately added petrol to the fire by laying several bobby traps before he left office. Nobody expects solutions from us. The thoughts of detractors was the expectation of failure.
“But because we have a God who does not fail his beloved ones, doors open where none exist. The governance space witnessed policy innovations and implementation which provide answers to knotty state policy questions. Because we have a God who props up his favoured and chosen ones, our government successfully reset the button of the state public service, frontaly addressed workers’ welfare, put a smile on the faces of pensioners, restored local governance, implemented infra agenda and set the tone for sustainable governance.
“Through God and people of goodwill, we succeeded where opponents never gave us a chance. We break jinx in critical areas and prove that Osun people can experience good governance despite all odds. Our government has manifested what many denied- that a God led administration is a condition for successful leadership in state governance,” he added.
