The Governor of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has said that plans are underway to launch palliatives to cushion the impact of petrol subsidy removal.
To this end, his administration is putting every measure in place to make life easy for residents of the state.
The Governor made the disclosure at a stakeholders’ meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its party’s office in Osogbo on Friday, stressing his conviction to run a government that brings smiles to the faces of the people.
On plans to cushion the impact of fuel subsidy removal on the Osun populace, he said: “We will soon introduce public transport buses. We are working on adjusted work hours and days. We want to make life easy and enjoyable for our people.”
Appreciating leaders of the PDP for their support since assuming office, he noted that his administration has been working in line with “our election promises and the agenda of the party.”
While detailing projects and interventions implemented so far recorded by his government in the health, education, and public infrastructure renewal, Adeleke said the PDP-led government in the state has achieved in just seven months what the APC failed to do in four years.
“We are implementing programmes and projects in education, health, and infrastructures. What the APC could not achieve in four years, we have achieved in under seven months,” he declared at the meeting.
He said: “We have positioned the public service, build roads, bridges, and channelisation. We have commenced payment of salary and pension debt.
“Your (PDP) government has launched the Osun digital economy agenda. Abandoned projects are being completed. Your government is beating old governance records within so short a period.”
Adeleke assured party leaders and members that he will run an inclusive government that leaves no one behind, adding that “We will all be accommodated. We will be fair to all.
“I appreciate your support then and now. This is your government. We shall all realize the fruits of our labour.”
Earlier, a former Governor of the state, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola in his message at the meeting recalled the initial skepticism on the governorship of Governor Adeleke and posited that under seven months the Governor has proved skeptics wrong.
He noted the superlative performance of the Governor which he said aided the electoral fortunes of the party at the state and national elections.
According to Oyinlola: “Governor Adeleke has surprised even his worst critics. His performance impresses all and it has strengthened the party and the state. We commend the Governor and his team”.
Other stakeholders of the party who spoke separately at the event also commended the Governor for robust performance and delivery of good governance in the last seven months.
