GOVERNOR ADELEKE: EPITOME OF POLITICS BEYOND BOUNDARIES
The Executive Governor of Osun State, His Excellency, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has proven beyond reasonable doubts, that politics, which many players have misinterpreted to a do-or-die affair, can be played beyond the boundaries of self-interest, bitterness, vendetta and needless aggrandizement.
The Governor’s arrival at the residence of Chief Bisi Akande with his cabinet members was on Saturday 17th January, 2026.
The recent visit of Governor Ademola Adeleke to the erstwhile Governor of the State and elder statesman, Chief Bisi Akande at his Ila-Orangun countryhome for his 87th birthday anniversary, is a pointer to leaving a resounding legacy that is worthy of emulation.
It lends credence to the fact that leadership is about all, not only about the segment or sentiment about religion, race, political platform or vantage points in social, economic and societal values.
Governor Adeleke in his magnanimity, has deemed it fit to honour the elder statesman despite known political parties’ differences. The major unifier in both figures, remains the good, growth and development of the masses, in every nook and cranny of Osun State.
The scenario captured the humility, respect and the spirit of sacrificial service to mankind. The Governor, despite the highly coveted position he occupies, needless ego, popularity or eulogies have not tampered with his honesty, humility and humanity in general.
While the actions and specifically the august visit of His Excellency are highly commendable, this is wishing the elder statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, a resounding celebration and many more fulfilling decades ahead, AMEN.
Osun indegenes at home and in the Diaspora are proud of this development and wish everyone, especially those highly placed, can borrow and turn a new leaf from bitter politics and selfish adventures.
