As the governorship election in Osun State is set to hold this weekend, farmers under the aegis of All Farmers of Nigeria, AFAN, endorsed Governor Ademola Adeleke for re-election, describing him as farmer-friendly.
The group, in a statement issued by Governor Ademola Adeleke’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, appreciated the governor for his pro-farmers policies, which include the purchase of new tractors, completion of the farmers’ secretariat, distribution of farmers’ inputs and distribution of thousands of cocoa, cashew and palm oil seedlings.
Speaking through their representative, Moshood Adepoju, the group said farmers in Osun had never had it so good, accusing the state APC of arresting their leaders to force the association to work against Governor Ademola Adeleke.
“We endorse Mr Governor for re-election because he did well for Osun farmers. We were neglected for years under APC. Governor Adeleke came and changed our fortunes for the better.
