Gov Ademola Adeleke
The governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke has said that he experienced divine guidance in making decisions during the early days of his administration.
He alleged that his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola set Bobby traps for him before leaving office and expected him to fail.
The governor insisted that his government succeeded, where the opposition never gave him a chance.
He stated this on Tuesday at the inter-religious service held at the state secretariat to usher in the government and the state into the new year.
This was as the paramount ruler of Iwoland, Oba Adewale Akanbi, declared that Adeleke would be reelected for a second term in office.
In his remarks, the governor acknowledged the hand of God Almighty in overcoming challenges
He said, “My dear people of faith, I have personal confessions to make. In the last one year, I directly experienced divine guidance in making state decisions.
“On several occasions, God almighty was my instructor in deciding on key issues. When I told you I govern with the fear of God, it is not a joke. Our leadership is a product of divine plan and manifestation.
“The signs are everywhere even for our political opponents to see. I will share some of the examples for you all. When I assumed the governorship of our dear state, many serious problems existed. Such issues appeared to have defied all solutions.
“My predecessor deliberately added petrol to the fire by laying several booby traps before he left office. Nobody expected solutions from us. The thoughts of detractors were the expectation of failure.
“But because we have a God, who does not fail his beloved ones, doors opened where none existed. The governance space witnessed policy innovations and implementation, which provided answers to knotty state policy questions”.
