Ahead of July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State, Governor Adegoyega Oyetola has said he will never betray his conscience in fulfilling his campaign promises to the people, if re-elected.
The governor, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Mr. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, stated this during an engagement programme with members of Osun State Automobile Technician Association yesterday in Osogbo.
Oyetola, who assured civil servants and retirees in the state of his commitment to their welfare, noted that his journey into politics was for service delivery and not for personal gain or deception.
His words: “Since the beginning of our administration, we had spent N43 billion on payment of pension for retirees and we will not stop. Osun is also one of the few states in the country that had implemented the minimum wage and we had been consistent in the payment.
“Those who are spreading falsehood that I will stop paying attention to the welfare of workers and our senior citizen are not to be trusted because they have nothing to offer,” he said.
Chairman of the association, Ajibola Akinola, lauded the governor for the strides he had accomplished in infrastructure and amenities across the state.
