Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has assured the EndBadGovernance protesters of his commitment to the continued delivery of good governance.
Governor Adeleke also expressed happiness and solidarity over the peaceful nature of the ongoing protests in the state.
DAILY POST recalls Osun State joined the ongoing nationwide EndBadGovernance protests, which started on Thursday, August 1, 2024.
The protest, on its fifth day, will end on Saturday, August 10, 2024.
Expressing delight at the level of patriotism exhibited by the organisers, Governor Adeleke, in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said he was elated at the rejection of efforts by dark forces to hijack the protest for their selfish goals.
He said: “We heard of the consistent upholding of peaceful demonstrations by the organisers even in the face of pressure from various quarters. I was briefed on the refusal of organisers to succumb to evil political forces hell-bent on destroying the peace of the state. I commend them for maintaining peace and peacefully airing their views on the state of the nation.
“I charge them to sustain their upholding of peace. All their submissions will be duly received. We will attend to areas that affect us as state government, and we will take the rest to Mr. President in Abuja. As Mr. President is working hard at the national level, we are complimenting him as the government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
“We are redoubling our efforts to address the yearning and aspirations of our people. Within the government, we feel the pain being experienced by our people, and we are working tirelessly to bring succour and good living.
“I again had a meeting with my team handling the food security implementation committee. We are working hard to expand food supply, enhance farmers’ support, moderate food prices, boost food access, and introduce tractorization.”
Appreciating the commanders across the security services for their efforts at making Osun remain peaceful, Adeleke commended the security agencies and all stakeholders for working hard to achieve sustained peace in Osun.
