BUNMI JENYO LAUDS GOVERNOR ADELEKE ON PAYMENT OF BACKLOG OF OSUN SALARY ARREARS
The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has lauded Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke for his regular payment of salary arrears of the Osun workers, who were owed till the end of the Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola’s administration in 2022.
This was contained in a statement by the Commissioner, which was made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Monday.
Despite Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola’s inability to pay the humongous debt, running to billions of Naira, Governor Adeleke has cleared over 30 months half-salary, being a debt inherited from the Oyetola’s administration, to the rightful owners in different categories, across the Osun State Civil Service.
Members of the public are hereby reminded of the sheer pessimism of the former Governor during a governorship debate in Osogbo, the State Capital, where he said emphatically that no government would be able to pay the workers’ debts.
Little did the former Governor know that passionate, focused and responsible governance could sort out the debts, within the space of four years. Today, as promised during the debate that if he was elected, Governor Adeleke has paid the substantial part of the debt incurred to the State by the government of the All Progressives Congress (APC), under which Alhaji Oyetola served as the Chief of Staff to the Governor.
No doubt, Governor Adeleke is a promise keeper. This is an example of promise made and kept by His Excellency.
Today, the workers with their families who were once demoralised and treated with disdain during Oyetola’s government, are now smiling to banks at intervals, receiving their salary arrears from the Osun State government, ably led by the people’s Governor, Ademola Adeleke.
To demonstrate his statemanship that knows no bounds, Governor Ademola Adeleke ensured that former Governor Oyetola, his cabinet members and other government functionaries also received their owed entitlements directly from their varying banks. This is exemplary of a true leader with politics without bitterness!
While the former Governor’s uninformed position are being defeated, as though himself in the 2022 governorship polls, workers, their family members, loved ones and the entire Osun people are resolute to return the Asiwaju of Edeland to the office, through ballot, come August 15, 2026.
Osun people have tasted both governments and need not a seer to convince them about the continuity of light over darkness, wealth over poverty and humanity over wickedness. The people of the State are in love with Governor Adeleke, who is courageous, visionary and passionate about his citizens’ welfare in all ramifications.
The masses are prepared to vote and re-elect the passionate Governor for another term of four years, mainly to complete his good works, targeted at improving the lives of his citizens.
According to the Commissioner, “His Excellency, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke must be commended for great works he is doing, across all sectors of the economy in Osun State. Specifically, kudos must be given to Mr. Governor for keeping his promise to clear the backlog of Osun workers salary arrears. GOD will continue to strengthen and bless him to do more, Amen”.
“Mr. Governor has put lies and its peddlers to shame. Their impossibilities have been made possible. Governor Adeleke has transformed the lives of Osun workers and citizens”, he said.
