Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Sunday charged the state indigenes recently appointed into various federal positions by President Bola Tinubu to let the interest of the state reflect in carrying out the tasks of their new offices.
The governor who made the charge in a statement by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed in Osogbo, said Osun comes first to him above any other consideration and sees their appointments as a win for the state.
He congratulated the appointees who he said, are mostly members of the main opposition, All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and maintained that the state as a common estate, must be rallied around by all to attain its desired growth and development.
He said his administration is always open to the support and collaboration of Osun indigenes in President Tinubu’s government in changing the face of the state and putting smiles on its people, urging them to take their new positions as an opportunity to impact lives better.
“It is to my delight that I welcome the appointment of Osun indigenes into various positions by President Bola Tinubu. The appointments are an added benefit to Osun, as our people will enjoy the benefits of more hands in various positions to impact their lives and compliment my administration’s sincere efforts to set this state on a path of growth and development,” the Governor quoted as saying.
“As I appreciate President Tinubu for the opportunity given to Osun indigenes in his cabinet, I charge the appointees to take their new positions as an opportunity to serve not only the interests of the APC but also the greater good of our beloved state.
“While our political affiliation may differ, as the Governor, my overridden interest is the progress of Osun, and I want to encourage the federal appointees to be swayed by the desire to see things change for the better for Osun people by supporting or collaborating with my administration on meaningful interventions.”
Adeleke reminded the appointees of the Osun identity they bring to new roles and said they should give their new jobs the best and positively spotlight the state with excellence in service delivery.
“On behalf of the good people of Osun State, I congratulate you all and express hope that you will do well in your various offices to the point that not only will you add value to the Osun identity but also make your offices count positively for Osun state and its people.“
