Over 100 traditional rulers (Obas) from Ede North/Ede South/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency of Osun state weekend said chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Public Accounts, Bamidele Salam, is the best the constituency has ever produced.
The traditional rulers also endorsed incumbent governor of Osun state, Ademola Adeleke, for a second term in office.
The monarchs made the declaration at an end-of-year summit convened by Salam weekend, during which the lawmaker pointed out numerous developmental programmes implemented by Governor Adeleke in the last two years.
The lawmaker said the key achievements of the governor include road infrastructure, education, health, agriculture, and human development which positively impacted the lives of the people in the state.
Salam said Governor Adeleke will embark on more landmark projects in the 2025 fiscal year which will enhance the socio-economic development of the four local governments in the constituency and promised that “other special intervention projects in rural electrification, construction of school buildings, roads rehabilitation and various empowerment programmes will be facilitated through the 2025 federal budget.”
A communique at the end of the summit was read by the Alawo of Awo, Oba Abdulrasak Taiwo Adegboye, who praised Governor Adeleke for his inclusive approach to governance.
Commending the governor’s respect for traditional institutions and his efforts to involve traditional leaders in decision-making processes, the Obas also extended their commendations to Salam, recognising his instrumental role in facilitating numerous developmental projects across towns and villages within his constituency.
