Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke, has clarified the reasons behind his support for the nomination of his predecessor, Adeboyega Oyetola

He stated that his commitment to the overall interest of Osun State and all its citizens, regardless of political affiliations, was his guiding principle in serving the people.

Governor Adeleke emphasized that the election process had been concluded, and it was time for all Osun people to unite and work together for the development of the state.

He expressed a sense of urgency to transform Osun from a civil service state to an industrialized one.

The meeting was attended by notable party figures, including the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagun, Deputy National Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, and the National Vice Chairman (South-South), Chief Dan Orbih.
