” I want to urge Osun residents to appreciate the strength and prospect of unity in driving the needed progress for the state. We should use the season to renew bonds, lend helping hands and spread love without boundaries.
” The birth of Jesus Christ as we have come to realise, is the most profound message on the power of love and how it can save,” Adeleke said.
According to him , the state government under my leadership will continue to prioritize welfare of the people by paying owed half salaries .
” The regular salaries and in a few days to come, the wage award agreed with labour leaders will be paid to give the needed funds to our workers to stimulate the economy.”
