The Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr. Hammed Adekunle Oyelude Makama, Tegbosun III, CON, has congratulated Governor Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke on his victory in the Osun State governorship election, while urging him to adopt an inclusive approach to governance and fulfill the commitments made in his victory speech.
Monarch Commends Adeleke's Renewed Mandate
In a statement issued from his palace, the traditional ruler described the election outcome as a renewed mandate from the people of Osun State. He called on the governor to embrace the victory with magnanimity and ensure that his administration reflects the diversity of interests across the state.
Oba Oyelude reminded Adeleke of the pledges he made during his victory speech, urging him to translate those words into measurable action as his new term begins. He charged the governor to "hit the ground running" by building on ongoing development projects and ensuring they receive sustained attention throughout his second tenure.
Rural Communities Need Greater Focus
The monarch emphasized that while urban areas in Osun benefited considerably during the first term, the incoming administration should shift focus toward underserved rural communities. He called for the strengthening of people-oriented policies that have earned the governor broad public support.
Beyond development projects, the Olowu of Kuta stressed the need for a stronger emphasis on security and the general welfare of the people. He expressed confidence that the renewed mandate provides a valuable opportunity for the governor to build on his achievements, address remaining gaps, and deliver policies that bring tangible improvements to the lives of Osun residents.
