Governor Adeleke Ticks All the Boxes in Osun

Osun State is one of those places where political promises dissolve into thin air once uttered. But Governor Ademola Adeleke is a refreshing exception. Where others hesitate, he delivers. Where others made promises, he has brought clean water, fixed roads, and is letting communities see real, tangible improvements.

Water is a basic necessity and should not be a luxury. But for many in Osun, it’s been just that. Adeleke tackled this by dropping boreholes in every ward. No bureaucracy, no endless deliberations—just clean, drinkable water for the people.

Infrastructure is where many leaders stumble, but not this one. With 20km of roads constructed across the state and abandoned projects revived, Osun’s arteries are flowing again. The once-forgotten Osogbo/Ikirun/Kwara boundary road is seeing a new lease of life, easing movement and trade. All because a governor recognizes that a good road does more than connect places—it connects possibilities.

What about light which has returned to communities long resigned to darkness? Rural electrification projects, transformers, and electrical materials have ensured that more homes can turn on a switch and see the glow of progress.

Healthcare, too, has been transformed under his watch. With 18,000 people receiving free surgeries and medical treatment under the Imole Surgical and Medical Outreach, families no longer have to choose between health and survival. Add to that 3,000 new enrollees in the Osun Health Insurance Scheme, and the message is clear: well-being is non-negotiable.

Development is not just about projects; it’s about people. When N518 million is presented to 40 communities for infrastructure, it’s not just money—it’s empowerment. When pension arrears dating back to 2016 are paid, it’s not just financial relief—it’s justice. A leader who remembers the past while shaping the future earns the trust of his people.

Adeleke’s approach is simple: fix what’s broken, improve what exists, and dream beyond limitations.
