The Osun State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Sunday Bisi has dismissed speculation in some quarters that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke travelled out of the country over ill health.
He confirmed that the governor would be arriving Nigeria this week after a month vacation outside the country.
It would be recalled that Adeleke went on the first official vacation since he assumed office as the governor of the state a year ago.
Bisi made this known in a statement signed by
Oladele Olabamiji, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Director of Media, Osun PDP, a copy of which was obtained in Osogbo.
He said, “The Governor’s vacation was publicly announced by the spokesperson to the Governor who reiterated that the vacation is a working one during which the Governor will rest and also meet partners for the development of Osun State.”
Confirming the Governor’s arrival, the statement stressed that Bisi who was said to have spoken on a radio station, stated, “Adeleke is hale and hearty, and he is prepared to further lead the team for the continuous development of Osun State.”
The party chairman added, “Mr Governor has used the one month vacation to relax, to reenergize, refresh, and recharge as he starts his second year in office. You remember the Governor granted an interview on both radio and newspapers to mark his one year in office, and I can tell you our Governor has no health challenges. It is not a crime to take a vacation after working so hard for 12 good months.
“Even while on vacation, the Governor was coordinating his team from his vacation. He launched the implementation of the Multi-billion Infra Plan project. Everybody can see the ongoing work at Oke-fia – Lameco Junction. Our Governor is even working while on vacation.
“As soon as the Governor arrives this week, Osun should be prepared for more delivery of dividends of democracy and good governance. Osun APC is just chasing shadows. The Adeleke governorship is the best for the state.”
