Adeleke’s meeting with the Osun Assembly has been made public
The meeting between Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and members of the State House of Assembly has been made public.
The governor went to the Assembly during plenary on Monday to seek their support in running his administration, according to Track News, just days after lawmakers disagreed with him on some of his Executive Orders.
Adeleke pledged in his address to lawmakers that his administration will not abandon any of the projects started by the previous administration, emphasizing that government is a continuous process.
The governor urged the legislature and the people of the state to collaborate in order to move the state forward, saying that everyone must be willing to contribute.
Adeleke stated that his administration will be all-inclusive, with citizens satisfied and peace reigning supreme in the state.
“Now that the election is over,” he said, “I want everyone to join me in moving the state forward; the government cannot do it alone.” To have a desirable state, everyone must be willing to contribute to its advancement.
“I assure you that my administration will not defraud anyone; it will be an inclusive government in which everyone will be happy and peace will reign supreme in the state.”
Assembly Speaker Timothy Owoeye promised in his remarks that the House would do everything possible to support the government, saying that they would only disagree with the executive based on legal facts, not emotions.
“Your Excellency, you and your team have the most important task of strengthening the Executive-Legislative relationship, which is especially important given our political parties’ ideological differences,” he said. We must also allow the rule of law to guide our actions, behavior, and activities during this time.
“Be assured that this Assembly will support your administration in accordance with best global practices under my leadership.” It is also critical that your administration continue to uphold the rule of law and the principles of fair hearing. Any deviation from this course may lead to anarchy and crisis.”
