Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said his political opponents cannot deny his achievements since becoming the state’s governor.
The PUNCH reports that Adeleke spoke in Osogbo on Thursday at the New Year inter-religious prayer held at the Government Secretariat, Abere.
The governor, who called on royal fathers and religious leaders to be agents of his administration by spreading news of his achievements among, especially the rural dwellers, said he has been relying on divine guidance in his decision-making as governor.
A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, quoted Governor Adeleke as saying at the event, “At the center of state power is God and His divine will. This truth underscores my unwavering commitment to praise worship, both in private and at public functions. Our dear God has greatly blessed us in the past year.
“We recorded a superlative performance which even our opponents cannot deny. There is the evident hand of God in state decisions. In critical situations, the divine guides us to the right choice.
“I therefore expressed the deep appreciation of our government to clerics and men of God at home and here with us. You are the agents of God in our midst. Since I assumed office, I can attest and assert that it has been God all the way.”
Assuring the audience that he would not abuse power, Adeleke promised to deploy instruments of state to develop Osun and its people.
