Osun State Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Sunday Bisi, yesterday, dismissed speculation in some quarters that the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, travelled out of the country over ill-health.
He said that the governor would be arriving in Nigeria this week after a month vacation outside the country. Bisi stated this in a statement signed by Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Director of Media, Osun PDP, Oladele Olabamiji, 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.
“Adeleke is hale and hearty, and he is prepared to further lead the team for the continuous development of Osun State.
“The governor has used the one month vacation to relax, re-energise, 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 that the governor has no health challenge. 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 State 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.”
