“He had also presented the sum of N518 million to 40 communities for infrastructure development.” he said
The group also applauded the governor for his medical outreach called “Imole Surgical”; about 2,000 persons from the nine federal constituencies in the state, received free medical care.
“Our findings also revealed that the governor, since his assumption of office, had made provision for transformers and other electrical materials in communities without electricity in an ongoing project.
“Adeleke had started the payment of salaries and pension arrears from January 2016, owed by the past administrations.
“In a bid to ensure food security in the state, our governor had approved subsidies on fertilisers and other farm inputs for farmers in the state.
“He has been giving bond cheques to the contributory pensioners in the state. He has started since March 10.
“Osogb/Ikirun/Ila Odo Kwara road is another point of reference. Immediately he assumed office, the governor mobilised contractors back to the site and we are very proud of the marvelous state of that road. In fact, residents of Ikirun are very happy about the development
“Based on these laudable achievements and many more, we hereby declare our support for the People’s Governor,” he said.
