Buhari pledges support for Osun as Gov. Adeleke pays ‘thank you visit’

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to consider the requests for assistance made by the Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Buhari made the promise Friday when Adeleke was at the State House on a ‘thank you’ visit.

The Governor, elected on platform of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP said he had come to appreciate the President for providing a level playing field in the election that held in July last year.

Said the Governor: “I had waited patiently for this appointment, and was praying fervently for it to happen. It’s a dream come true for me to see you, and have a handshake.


“I am a beneficiary of the new Electoral Law you signed, as it paved the way for free and fair elections, ruling out ballot box snatching and stuffing.

“The security agencies followed your instruction to be fair and firm, and I am so proud of you. You are a true father, regardless of political party differences.”

The Governor according to a State House press release signed Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said free and fair elections would be one of the greatest legacies President would bequeath to the country, as the development was already being applauded home and abroad.

Among requests Governor Adeleke made were: support on infrastructure development, a proposed new economic city and free trade zone, tax credit, and other Federal facilities in Osun State.
