One after the other, leading Muslim and Islamic leaders listed many strides of the state government under Governor Adeleke and followed it up with fervent prayers to God for continuity of Adeleke governorship beyond 2026.
A former governor of the state, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in his remarks, prayed to God to continue to strengthen Adeleke in his ongoing good performance, drumming support for the administration. Oyinlola told the audience at the prayer session that “nobody changes a medication and medicine that is working.”
“Mr Governor’s medicine is working for Osun people. And so he will continue for a second term”, the former Governor noted in Yoruba language.
The President of the League of Imams and Alfas in the state, Musa Animasahun who led other religious leaders declared that the good delivery of services by Governor Adeleke has ordained him by God for second term, urging mass support for continuation of better life in the state.
The workers union led by the state Chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Bimbo Arapasopo openly endorsed the governor for second term amidst singing and dancing, citing his expensive attention to the needs of workers and pensioners.
The market women and men in the state led by the Iyaloja General of Osun State, Oyebode Mary in her prayers for the state conveyed the endorsement of the governor for second term, listing ease of doing business among other achievements.
The Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi while rounding up the prayer session conducted a special prayer of empowerment and approval of all the individual prayers by the clerics, workers and others, seeking divine protection and enablement for the Governor and his team.
According to the monarch, the performance of the governor is his best prayer, appreciating the governor’s dedication to duty and his listening and consultative approach to state governance.
“Only a clean heart dances. Where they dance, good things happen. Great things are happening to Osun and we are all rejoicing,” Ogunwusi declared.
In his address, Adeleke called on religious and traditional rulers to be his agents among the people.
He said, “Let the message go to the grassroots that this government is ever dedicated to serving the people. We will continue to work for the people and by the people.
“In 2025 and beyond, we will not be found wanting in service delivery. The state care for the young, the old, women, youth and children will continue on a strong note. I repeat again that soft infrastructure will top the state agenda alongside ongoing hard infrastructure upgrades across the state.
“We call on leaders of thought to rally round the administration in our efforts to enthrone good governance. This call flows from what all stakeholders can attest to. We have shown good faith as a government acting beyond partisan considerations. The best interest of Osun has continued to be our guiding principle. We need all hands to be on deck.”
