During the campaigns for the 2022 Osun State governorship election, Governor Ademola Adeleke repeatedly assured residents that his administration would chart a different course if elected.
Running as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he promised improved welfare, economic growth, infrastructure development and people-centred policies, arguing that Osun deserved better governance.
Addressing thousands of supporters at a rally in Osogbo on 14 May 2022, Mr Adeleke unveiled a five-point agenda as the blueprint for his administration from 2022 to 2026.
Mr Adeleke’s agenda promised improved welfare for workers and pensioners, economic expansion through business partnerships and support for enterprises, and a homegrown infrastructure policy aimed at ensuring “Osun money serves Osun people.”
The agenda also prioritised people-focused social policies centred on skill-based education, affordable healthcare, security, and social protection, alongside agro-based industrialisation to create jobs and wealth for the youth and women.
