We will not relent in our quest to surpass the imaginations of Osun State residents despite efforts by the opposition.
Osun State governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke stated this in Iwo while commissioning the 1st phase of the dualised Odo-Ori/Adaeke Road, Iwo project.
Govenor Adeleke noted that the dualised road was to bring Iwo out of the neglect it has suffered from past administrations in the state.
Addressing thousands of Iwo residents, the governor said he would not stop developmental projects if re-elected in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the state.
In a keynote address, the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Adewale Akanbi who expressed joy over the project thanked the governor for it just as he testified that those whose property were affected by the construction of the road had received compensation.
In an address, Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr Bamidele Salami noted that the road project which started last year June was promised to be completed within a year.
Mr Salam said its completion was evidence that Governor Adeleke kept his promises.
In his speech, President Iwo Board of Trustees, Professor Lai Olorode thanked the governor for the project which he said had given Iwo a new look.
Delivering a goodwill message, a front-line politician in Iwo land and a former Secretary to the Osun State Government, SSG, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, commended the governor not only for embarking on and completing new projects but also for completing projects that started during Aregbesola’s administration and were abandoned by his successor.
Alhaji Adeoti also commended him for clearing half salary owed by the Aregbesola administration.
