A group, The Osun Masterminds, has advised the incoming administration of Senator Ademola Adeleke in Osun State, not to discard some good policies initiated by his predecessor, Adegboyega Oyetola.
Addressing newsmen in Osogbo on Monday, the Executive Director of the group, Dr Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, observed that Adeleke would be inheriting a government that has run on “frugality and prudence over the last four years.”
Oyedokun-Alli also told the incoming governor to find creative ways to rapidly boost the state’s revenue through the exploitation of agriculture and tourism potentials.
He further said, “Sen. Ademola Adeleke is inheriting a government that has run on frugality and prudence over the last four years. This has been particularly important because the State needed such austerity measures to ensure its survival and long-term fiscal sustainability. We first expect him to continue this practice of intentional prudence, block all financial leakages and ensure optimal utilization of the State’s resources.
“It also must be stated that the incoming Governor must not allow bitterness around him such that he will attempt to discontinue the good legacies of his predecessor. He must continue the policies of the outgoing government that are pro-people and only seek to deliver optimal results with them.
“Government is a continuum and thus, policies must be sustained for the greater good. We also advise the incoming Governor to ensure that he builds a smooth working relationship with the APC-dominated State House of Assembly that he will inherit.”
