Davido, right, in a warm embrace with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke
Global music icon David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, has rallied the people of his home state, Osun, behind the reelection of his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, to ensure continuity.
This was in a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Olawale Rasheed.
While addressing transport management system leaders at the Imole House in Osogbo, the state capital, he said “my uncle has delivered.”
Davido, who was cheered repeatedly by the Okada riders, said the governor has performed and deserves to be re-elected.
The global music sensation said, “I task you to go out and mobilise for my uncle. His re-election is in the best interest of Osun state.”
In his speech, the governor said the people of the state would return him on August 15 through the power of the Almighty.
He said the opposition is labouring in vain with their desperation and campaign of falsehood, affirming that “Osun people have sworn not to go back to the dark days”
Accompanied by the global music icon, the governor narrated the performance of his administration in education , health, agriculture, infrastructure and digital economy, declaring that “those claiming not to see our great works and performance have the people to contend with.”
His words to the cheering Okada riders: “The people are our witnesses when it comes to performance in office. Our government has positively touched all sectors and regions of the state. The people who voted us into office have severally confirmed our excellent deliveries in the last four years.
“Our people experienced the APC times; they are comparing our tenure with the locust years of the APC. By God and man, I will be re-elected to continue the good job we are doing for Osun people.
“The opposition APC seeks to crash our government through financial strangulation. They diverted over N300 billion of local government funds, money meant for local workers. Despite their evil act, our government survives.
“We are sure that those squandering LG funds will end up in jail. Those inflicting untold hardship on Osun people will have their days of reckoning. We have delivered to our people, Osun won’t go back to the dark days.
“The APC destroyed Osun State during their days in office. Our government is rebuilding what they destroyed; yet the APC is seeking power through the backdoor. The opposition has failed.”
Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the motorcyclists wing of the transport management system, Mr Sikirulahi Ayobami (Ado Igbonna) commended the governor for his many projects and programmes across the state, declaring “we are enjoying your government”
Speaking in Yoruba language, Ayobami recounted several projects of the administration, adding “our members are your top campaigners across Osun state”
