Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has expressed happiness and solidarity over the peaceful nature of the ongoing protests in the state, assuring the protesters of his commitment to delivering good governance.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor expressed his admiration and appreciation for the #EndBadGovernance protest organizers. He commended them for their unwavering patriotism, evident in their refusal to allow dark forces to hijack the protest for selfish goals.

Adeleke said, “We have consistently observed the organizers upholding peaceful demonstrations even in the face of pressure from various quarters. I was briefed on their refusal to succumb to evil political forces intent 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 urge them to continue upholding peace. All their submissions will be duly received. We will address the areas that concern us as a state government and take the rest to Mr. President in Abuja. As Mr. President works hard at the national level, we are complementing his efforts as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

“We are redoubling our efforts to address the yearnings and aspirations of our people. Within the government, we feel the pain being experienced by our people and are working tirelessly to bring succor and improve living conditions.

“I recently met 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.

“I commend security agencies and all stakeholders for working hard to achieve sustained peace in Osun. I thank commanders across the security services for their dedication, ensuring that Osun remains peaceful and prosperous.”
