Gov Ademola Adeleke of Osun State
By Prisca Sam-Duru
After reading reactions from Nigerians following his comment on no loan so far, it’s possible that what Osun state governor, Ademola Adeleke may be saying in his mind now is, whatever you do, you can’t please the world.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of transparency and to show how much his administration is committed to taking the state to an enviable level, that Adeleke known by many as the dancing governor, told his people that he has not taken any loan to pursue any project or programme since he came to power.
According to him, it was a decision aimed at ensuring he works with available resources to ‘manage huge liabilities inherited’ from his predecessors. Instead of applauding him, some Netizens began reacting in a surprising manner.
Owomoyela Oluwatosin wrote, “That you didn’t take a loan for now is not an achievement. You can take it to improve infrastructure in Osun state. Liaise with FG and private companies to revive Oshogbo steel rolling mills…”
