Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has expressed his gratitude to the people of Osun state over their massive turnout and feedback at the Ipade Imole, assuring that his administration will implement the various recommendations and viewpoints from the people.
In an appreciation statement issued and made available by the spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke said he remains ever excited and encouraged by the positive review of his records of the last 11 months as well as the candid identification of areas of attention by the participants.
The governor said, “It was a truly engaging four hours of interaction with people drawn from all walks of life. It is really gratifying that the event took place under a largely informal setting with mutual exchange of ideas between the people and their elected governor. The formal barrier was removed and I was able to reach my people in heart to heart exchanges.
“I cherish the rare opportunity of a hall full to the brim listening attentively and contributing as to where our administration has done well and which areas we should place more emphasis on. The frank down to earth questions and comments further strengthen the resolve of our team to deliver more dividends of democracy and amends in areas of interest to the people.’’
Adeleke applauded the monarchs, the representatives of various associations from students to civil society associations, saying the media particularly proved strong channels for ventilating their records.
“I have subsequently directed my team to analyze the questionnaire from the participants and create a sectoral tracker. We will ensure action is taken in areas of weaknesses and strengthen areas of accolades. We must be able to show the people that Ipade Imole is not a mere jamboree,’’ he said.
