Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has stated that he will never betray his conscience in fulfilling his campaign promises to the people, if re-elected in July 16 governorship election in the state.
Oyetola said the falsehood being peddled around by the opposition parties that he would not fulfill his campaign promises, when re-elected, should be disregarded.
The governor said this during an engagement programme with members of Osun State Automobile Technician Association, on Sunday in Osogbo.
Represented by his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Mr. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, Oyetola said his journey into politics was for service delivery and not for personal gain or deception.
The governor assured civil servants and retirees in the state of his commitment to their welfare, urging them not to fall into the antics of the opposition parties.
Oyetola said since the beginning of his administration in the last three and half years, he had not renege in the payment of pension and salaries of workers.
He said the rumor’s by the opposition parties that he would stop the payment, when re-elected is a dirty politics taken too far.
The governor, who said he would still do more in his second term, urged the electorate not allow desperate politicians to deceive them.
“Since the beginning of our administration, we had spent N43 billion on payment of pension for retirees and we will not stop.
“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.
The governor further explain that, when re-elected he would consolidate on the achievements his administration had made in the last three and half years.
Oyetola said the giant stride of the government in the area of education, infrastructure, health, empowerment, rural development, among others would not stop.
Oyetola then urged members of the association to support his re-election, adding that he will continue to provide the enabling environment for their businesses to thrive.
In his remarks, the chairman of the association, Ajibola Akinola, commended the governor for the strides he had accomplished in infrastructure and amenities across the state.
Akinola, however, appealed to the governor to assist members of the association with more soft loans to boost their businesses.
He also promised that the association would support his re-election for the continuation of the good work in the state.
