Osun Assembly passes vote of confidence on Adeleke

 

Osun State House of Assembly on Tuesday passed vote of confidence on the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and subsequently endorsed him for another term in office.

 

Adeleke will, by November 2026, complete his current term and will be expected to seek second term in office before then.

 

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, Olamide Tiamiyu, said all the 25 members that attended the plenary unanimously agreed on the continued support for Adeleke.

 

“During a plenary session on Tuesday, the 26-member Assembly, comprised of 25 members from the Peoples Democratic Party and one from the All Progressives Congress, expressed their full support for the governor,” the statement read.

 

In his remarks, the Speaker, Mr Adewale Egbedun, commended Adeleke’s achievements and congratulated him on the celebration of his 65th birthday.

Egbedun, who noted the governor’s dedication to the development of Osun, highlighted positive impacts already made on the people through the administration’s five-point agenda.

 

The speaker further said, “Lawmakers, as representatives of the people, take pride in the governor’s leadership, and we urge him to continue striving for even greater accomplishments.”

 

In his contributions, the lawmaker representing Boripe/Boluwaduro State Constituency, Mr Simeone Popoola said, “Politics aside, Mr. Governor is a plain-minded personality, loving and genuine. These attributes have greatly assisted him in his performance.”

 

The statement further read, “The motion for the vote of confidence was initiated by Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi, representing the Obokun State Constituency and seconded by Hon. Taofiq Olayiwola from Ede South State Constituency.

 

“Following the motion, the Speaker called for a vote, and the chamber resonated with enthusiastic “Ayes,” solidifying the Assembly’s endorsement of Governor Adeleke.”
