OF AN ADDRESS BY GOVERNOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE AT THE 2023 OSUN OSOGBO FESTIVAL

PROTOCOLS

1. It is my honour and privilege to deliver this address at this internationally acclaimed cultural festival. From time immemorial, Osun Osogbo has gained global recognition.

2. I felicitate with Kabiyesi, the Ataoja- in -Council, all traditional leaders and all pillars of our cultural society. We are here to witness a rebranded festival which celebrates our traditionalism. As our culture is our bloodline, we all recognize where we are coming from and who we are as a people.

3. Our culture and tradition are therefore the foundation of our strength as a people. We are therefore obliged to deploy culture as a tool for state and national development. This is the practice in Asia. That is the secret of the successes of South Korea , Japan and many of the Asian tigers.

4. This year's celebration therefore provides the greatest opportunity ever for our people to have a new look at our culture and tradition. We are challenged to capitalise on our rich culture to build an economically sound and virile nation.

5. As a government, our administration has a tourism and cultural industry agenda. During the campaign and within the transition committee , we devised far reaching programmes and policies for the arts, culture and tourism industry. We indeed created a new holistic approach by adding the creative industry as a whole.

6. Our agenda targets the genuine globalization of our cultural heritage as a major building blocks of our economy. We expand beyond mere celebration of Osun Osogbo festival and other assets to making them the cornerstone of a truly cultural and tourism industry. We are creating a series of global cultural events that will attract millions of tourists all over the world. We are integrating our local economy into a global creative and cultural industry.

7. Hence our rich cultural heritage will become a cherished product of value at home and abroad. Our agenda is to create a Saudi Arabia and Jerusalem out of Osun State as the cradle of the Yoruba race.

8. As a starting point , our administration has facelifted the Osun groove. You all can see the improvement. We have added new features to the celebration to deepen its international appeal.

9. I commend our team that worked tirelessly to rebrand this festival. Long before the cabinet was put in place , a small team of tourism professionals designed a template to uplift this festival. We appreciate you

10. I am therefore using this platform to direct the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism to give effect to the tourism and creative industry agenda of the administration as spelt out in the transition committee report. He is also to work with other team of professionals to make a reality my vision of making Osun a global tourism point.

11. We have to place Osun state on a global tourism map. We have cultural richness and heritage. We are the centre of Yoruba nation. The position of Osun State is pivotal to all Yoruba people at home and abroad.

12. Ladies and gentlemen, Osun is experiencing a rebirth in her governance. Her cultural life is changing for the better. We must count ourselves lucky for witnessing the arrival of imole in our society.

13. Thanks for listening and God bless us all.

*_Regarding The Unit Performance And Ward Performance Aggregate Between Hon.Abimbola Ajilesoro (Sitting-Rep) And Mr. AYOBAMI FOLORUNSO AKA AYO SOLDIER In The Last House of Representatives Election That Took Place On The 25th Of February,2023,This Is How Things Stands._*

*_1.) Hon.Abimbola Taofeek Ajilesoro's ; Unit 001 Of ILARE WARD2;_*

APC = 81 Votes ;PDP 113 Votes.
Votes Difference= +32 Votes In Favour of PDP.
While The Ward Performance Aggregate For ILARE WARD2 Is;
APC = 1332 Votes ; PDP = 1417 Votes.
Votes Difference= +85 Votes In Favour of PDP.

*2. Mr.Ayobami Folorunsho SOLDIER (Moore/Ojaja Ward,Unit 004);*

APC = 121 Votes ;PDP 177 Votes.
Votes Difference= +56 Votes In Favour of PDP.
While The Ward Performance Aggregate For MOORE/OJAJA WARD Is;
APC = 1861 Votes ; PDP = 2071 Votes.
Votes Difference= +210 Votes In Favor of PDP.

On the basis of the Election Results And Statics stated above, It Is crystal clear that Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Soldier) is an outstanding Politician Of Repute that you cannot afford to push aside.

To say Ayobami Folorunsho played an anti-party role in the last February 25, 2023 House Of Representatives Election or in any other Elections of the past, is an absurdity that cannot be swallowed by any sane person. It is clinically clear that, this is nothing but a pure campaign of calumny not only against Ayobami Folorunsho, but also against our great political party (PDP).
If someone like Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Solder) can put all his resources and risk his life in ensuring he wins all the elections in his Unit and also in his Ward(Moore/Ojaja Ward) ,and some desperate politicians can come up with such flimsy allegation from the pit of hell that he was involve in anti-party activities, *_it only shows the depth of their devilish desperation for political power and unpatriotic mentality, not only against our great political party (PDP), but also against the present administration of Osun State._*

From the Election results above, Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Soldier) performed far better than all Caretaker Chairman Of Aspirants in Ife Central Local Government,both at the Unit Level and Ward Level.

*_And the peak of it all is that, he(Ayo Solder) also performed extremely better than the Incumbent/Sitting House Of Representatives Member (Hon.Abimbola Taofeek Ajilesoro) at the said House of Representatives election, which happens to be his own election._*
_The Unit and Ward Election results of Hon.Bimbo Ajilesoro and Ayo Soldier says it all._

*_In a true spirit of preparing well ahead and early enough for the 2026 Re-election Project of His Excellency, Sen Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke,_* _Ayobami Folorunsho(Ayo Soldier) is the real deal for the Caretaker Chairmanship position of Ife Central Local Government._
His appointment would not only add flavour and tonic to our growing political fortunes in Ife Central Local Government, it would also consolidate our grip on the Electorates as the fast approaching _2026 Governorship Election is going to be a very tough one in Ife Zone._
*_We have to put square pegs in square holes; And round pegs in round holes.._*

I would be doing a great injustice to Mr. Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Soldier) and all critical decision makers in our great political party (PDP) and the present administration If I erroneously fail to state that, *Mr.Ayobami Folorunsho (AyoSoldier) has the highest number of votes(177) in the whole of the 215 polling units in Ife Central Local Government in the last February 25,2023,House Of Representatives Election. A person who occupies the first (No.1) position out of 215 participants in a contest deserves the first prize,as well as all the standing ovation and accolades therein.* _Any campaign of calumny against him(Ayo Soldier) at this point in time, is an attack on the sanctity of human sanity._

Finally, we should take cognisance of the fact that,*_the Wards and Local Governments are the closet to the electorates,the masses,and the party members._*
Elevating people who had performed badly in past elections above those who had done extremely well is tantamount to destroying the very foundation of our past Electoral fortunes. *We must avoid,at all cost, in sending a signal that would demoralize and ultimately catalyse apathy among the ranks and files of our hardworking political party(PDP) members. We must learn from what brought down APC in Osun State,* as 2026 is very much around the corner._
*_To whom much is given,Much is expected._*

*_Leave Hon.Abimbola Ajilesoro Out Of Your Mess. Don't Stain Him. Face Your Warrant:_*
It is a sheer display of the act of sacrilege for anyone to drag our beloved MHR Bimbo Ajilesoro into this simple,but colossally strategic matter.

Just as it has been pointed out by one or two persons, Hon.Abimbola Taofeek Ajilesoro and the Ajilesoro Dynasty has never, and would never discriminate when executing their God given attribute as renowned philanthropist.

Hon.Bimbo Ajilesoro has made a good name for himself in the political space of Ile-Ife,as well as Osun State,and by extention, Nigeria.

Anybody who loves him in truth, not the eye-service type, would not create unwarranted or unnecessary political cm social enemies for him, because MHR Ajilesoro still has alot to achieve in his political journey and life. He only has just started.

We, or I personally understand that, Hon. Bimbo Ajilesoro ventured into politics not because he wants to make money from it (he was made already), but because he wants to extend his scope of Philanthropic Activities. Ofcourse, I have benefited from it, however not enough.viz-a-viz some factors put into consideration. I still appreciate him dearly. Mi o sé isè owo si lowo.

Yes,Hon.Abimbola Ajilesoro maybe younger to quite a number of us, including myself, but he is a father to many people by the providence virtue of where God has placed him in the scheme of things, both in politics and life. And I pray God would continue to sustain him in all ramifications.Amen.

Nobody can use the ongoing struggle of becoming Caretaker Chairman Of the Local Governments or LCDAs or any other matter that maybe on ground to turn the perfect honorable gentleman into the American F-16 figther Jet against anyone. Hon.Bimbo Ajilesoro is far smarter than that. Let everyone bear his father's name.

Yes, I have it on good record that he is using his resources and influences in trying to rescue the imminent political extinction and drowning of some self-acclaimed political "gladiators" who are also aspiring for the prestigious Caretaker Chairman office of the LGs and LCDAs. Honestly,he has the right to do so. Personally, I cannot blame him for that, he is an _Abiyamo_(A true Parent). He is acting like what the popular Yoruba proverb says, *_"Abiyamo kii gbo ekun omo re ko ma tati wéré"_*

But there is untold imminent danger in backing the wrong horse in a situation like this, or on a matter of this sensitivity and magnitude. The dangers therein can be likened to a parent who has five children..In an effort to encourage the children to perform academically well in school, The parent promised to always give gift to whosoever came first or second in class. When the exams where over, two of his Children qualifed for the gift as promised by their parent. One came first,and another came second. At this juncture, the parent has no choice but to do the needful. As a true parent,who is disciplined, loving, caring and smart, he did exactly what a rational parent that does not want to set his or her own house on fire should do. Kudos to such a parent.

Now, let us imagine a situation.where reverse was the case. A situation where the parent gave the gifts to number four and number five. We can all imagine the kind of dysmal abysmal signal such a parent would be sending out to the family and the outside world. A callously bad signal right?..
It is like setting his or her own house on an inferno (a large fire that is dangerously out of control.)

It is on this note that I would implore all our leaders, both in Ife Central Local Government and Ife Zone,as well as Osun State to be mindful of the need to uphold justice and fairness at this very point in time of appointing persons for the Caretaker Chairmanship position of the Local Governments and LCDAs. The Local Governments,LCDAs, and Wards, as the basic foundation of governance and politics, and they are the closest to both the party members and the electorates. We cannot afford to gamble with it or play a game of trier and error. Ability to key into the agenda of our performing Governor through the x-ray of the person's past records that indicates the person is on ground in his immediate locality has alot to play in these appointments or selections. The undiluted loyalty and unflinching commitment to the Adeleke/Imole Struggle since 2018 should be concretely considered and upheld. I know it is not an easy task, but, ko si ohun to lé ti ki n rò. Selecting or appointing the best can be made alot easier using past electoral track records, particularly 2022 and 2023. The year 2026 is just around the corner, we cannot afford to toy or go skating with it. Isè second term Gomina wa ti bèrè. The enemies (Ajeles) of the Osun Masses are lurking around the corner and they are frantically regrouping and restrategizing and ready to pounce at any slightest opportunity. Olorun ko ni fun won sé. Amin.
Ko easy ki Ijoba bo lowo éyan ooo. Èjè ni awon ara ibi wa bayi ooo. We the PDP know what we went through before regaining power in Osun State. Thank God for the Adeleke Dynasty, particularly Dr.Deji Adeleke, and our hardworking cm amiable mother of all,Yéyé Dupe Sanni.

Prof.Adewale Oladipo and a host of others like Alh.Gani Olaoluwa(Asejere), Baba Jumokol, Sen.Léré Akogun, Sen.Onigbogi,Baba Peter Power, IBK (Our SUBEB Chairman),Fafa Banana,Baba Asendo, and the late Baba Gomino(Chief Ajéigbé) and other APEX members played a very outstanding role to take us to promise Land where we are today. I also pay tribute to our father of politics, Late. Amb.Chief Gunju Adesakin.

I also thank my leader,. mentor, father, role-model,my principal, my Governor, His Excellency, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke(The Executive Governor Of Osun State) for making us proud. His wonderful performances and giant strides in Osun State, within this short period of his administration, speaks volume. I can now walk the whole street of Ile-Ife holding my head up high 😎. I feel good and cool. Indeed ,one thing is to be successful, another thing is to maintain and sustain that success.

And finally,at this crucial and extremely sensitive stage, it is politically expedient that, no Anigba(Dotun Babayemi) elements should make the Caretaker list in any capacity at the Local Governments,LCDAs, and Ward Level ooo. O ni èwu to pò. I have my Intel and it is intact. They are playing the strategy and politics of stooping to conquer. A ni daamu ooo.

_Imole Osun State ko ni di Okunkun..Amin_ 🙏
_Ayo ni oo_

Palliative: Cash transfer is a scam- Gov Uba Sani

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said that plans by the Federal government to transfer N8,000 cash to 12 million poor Nigerians as a form of palliative to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal is a ‘scam’.

In an interview with Arise Television, Sani said there was no certainty of an accurate and updated database of the Nigerian people that will benefit from the scheme.

“My position has always been that, at this critical time, cash transfer should not be something that we should bring up. I think that cash transfer for me, in my opinion, is a scam. Completely it’s a scam. I can be very certain about that, because who are you transferring the money to?

Let me give an example, go and check the current statistics. Like I said, as the Chairman, Committee of Banking for four years in Nigeria, I oversight Central Bank, I oversight all the commercial sectors of our economy for the last four years and I looked at the statistics, I will be very firm on this issue and you can go and check it.

About 70 to 75 per cent of the rural population in North West are financially excluded completely. You will have to go and check, these people we are talking about are important people in the society. They do not even have a bank account so who are you transferring the money to?” he said

The governor added that the social register has not been updated, giving a case study of the North West region, that about 70% of the rural population was not captured in 2019 due to insecurity. He said this as he defended the position of the National Executive Council (NEC) saying the social register lacked credibility.

“In my opinion, what we said was that the social register should be updated. If you are aware, some of the names were put together as far back as 2019. And of course, nothing is constant. For example, some local governments in my state are not captured largely because of the insecurity in the state, and believe me, truly, the social register lacks credibility,” he said

Adurotini ti oju ogun oselu ba lé tan... Ayo Soldier lo n jèbè!!. Ibo 2026,on my mind. Ayo Soldier lo lé di ilé mu ooo. ...
27/07/2023

Adurotini ti oju ogun oselu ba lé tan... Ayo Soldier lo n jèbè!!.
Ibo 2026,on my mind. Ayo Soldier lo lé di ilé mu ooo. He can keep, defend,hold the mid-field,strike,and Coach.
And that, certainly, starts with ensuring he is installed as the Executive Caretaker Chairman Of Ife Central Local Government.

*_Now,The Facts:_*
Anybody that wants our amiable performing Governor of Osun State,His Excellency, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, to have an outstanding amount of votes from Ife Zone, particularly from Ife Central Local Government, should not have any atom of problem with Ayobami Folorunsho *(Ayo Soldier)* becoming the Executive Caretaker Chairman Of Ife Central Local Government.

This is not about personal enrichment or self aggrandizement. This is not about settlement or compensation for past political efforts or political losses.
Primarily, this is all about advancing the ground of our political and Electoral territory as well as having a strong grip on our political and electoral territory. His(Ayo Soldier) emergence as the Executive Caretaker Chairman Of Ife Central Local Government is very strategic to our common future electoral fortunes in Ife Central Local Government and her environ.

Ayobami Folorunsho(Ayo Soldier) has, over the years) demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that, he has what it takes to win votes,at all fronts, and at any cost. This he has demonstrated over the years at the primary elections within the party, and general elections on election days. What this means is that, like our overall National leader,father and mentor,Prof.Adewale Abiodun Oladipo, Ayo Soldier has the electoral tonic, dynamics, flavor, and ingredients to deliver votes. Winning of future elections,as well as returning the lost glory of Ife Central Local Government as an electoral decider (due to her block-votes on election days), particularly at Governorship Elections, is primarily on my mind. Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Soldier) has what it takes in all ramifications to achieve that. That is one of the prime reasons am throwing the full weight of my support behind him. He has my undiluted support and unflinching endorsement. For those that knows me, Iyiola Olayemi Fayemi * *,inside-out, knows I don't firm position of matters of great importance without well-proven facts and figures.

As a true party man that has been in PDP for the past 25years (Since Nov.1998) , I have always,and would continue to have the interest of our great Political Party(PDP) at heart, and at all times. Hence,those who think am a betrayal for supporting Ayo Soldier has evidently missed the point. At this stage of our Political Success in Osun State,we cannot afford to be myopic. Ipada bo awon arabi, oma lé gan oooo... Oh!..,abi èropé won koi ti ma strategize ni...?😲 E ma je ka gò ara wa oooo.

Yes,every persons contesting alongside Ayo Solider for that same office has,in all fairness and honesty, the right and privileges to do so. I don't have an iota of issue against them. They have contributed their very best to the stage we are today, which is, ofcourse, within the ambit of their capacity and strength. They equally deserve to be there. However, am not comfortable with their temperament for such strategic office. The Executive Caretaker Chairman Of Ife Central Local Government office, requires a deep political experience and demeanour(outward behavior). It requires someone that understands how elections are won. It requires someone with a resounding political and electoral tenacity. Someone that resonates between the youths and the elderly. Someone that can enter the psych of the electorates. Someone who has a tremendous and evenly spread Social and Political tentacles. Someone that can be said to have gone through virtually all the intensive baptism of rugged political struggle and fire. Someone who has learnt from the very best in the political annals of Ile-Ife,and by extension,Osun State. Someone that can yodi (A true Political Socialist). Someone that has an overwhelming propensity to show empathy. Someone that knows and appreciate the political story and history of our great party (PDP), both in Ife Central Local Government,and Osun State. A true frontline socio-political personality. A pragmatic politician and Democrat. All these itemized credentials are what I found in Ayobami Folorunsho (Ayo Soldier.)

Others, that are contesting alongside with Ayobami Folorunsho should not be left empty handed. They deserve to be fixed into an appreciable political cm governmental offices that suits them most.

The 2026 Osun State Gubernatorial Election is very much on my Mind. And this starts now. Infact,and in real sense, it has started already.

Imole wa ni Osun Ko ni di Okunkun. Amin ni Oruko Jésun🙏!!!

I have come in Peace. Ayo ni oooo.
