The Osun State Governor Senator Ademola Adeleke has warned the newly elected local government chairmen in all the 30 Local Governments in the State to stay away from local government council secretariats in order to maintain rule of law and order in the state.

Senator Adeleke gave this directive while administering the oath of allegiance and oath of office on the 30 local government chairmen and vice-chairmen at the Osun State Government House on Sunday.
Addressing the newly sworn-in local government officials, Adeleke said the occasion is the culmination of what the people of the state have laboured to achieve. Governor Adeleke recalled the journey so far, adding that it is the final phase of a process which began a year ago
He said, “I call on you to be agents of change, community developers or providers of the dividends of democracy.
“We will not fail you. People’s welfare will continue to be our watchword,” Adeleke said.
He appreciated Osun electoral commission and commended security agencies and state officials who made the exercise a success.
Adeleke also expressed appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for not allowing Osun State to descend into chaos.
“I assure Mr President of my commitment to the rule of law,” he said
