Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has asked members of his cabinet to be prepared for a thorough budget defence at the State House of Assembly.
Adeleke said this in a statement on Wednesday through his spokesperson, Mr. Olawale Rasheed.
In order to expedite the budget processing in accordance with the Assembly’s schedule, he stated that complete cooperation with the legislature was essential.
“We have a state to govern. We have a five-point agenda to deliver. There is no room for distractions. All cabinet members must get their work together by ensuring successful budget hearings at the Assembly.
“Also, let the relevant house committees have all the required information to vet and approve your proposals.
“I have full confidence that the legislature will understand the fiscal and economic considerations behind the 2024 budgetary proposals,” he said.
According to him, his administration was aware of innovative ideas being introduced that may necessitate new laws or amendments to existing ones.
“Let me on this note direct our MDAs with planned executive bills to speed up the internal processes.
“Three of such bills are very dear to the goodness of our state. The bill to domesticate the Nigerian Startup Act should be forwarded to the Assembly without further delay. That bill holds the key to boosting and diversifying our state’s economy,” he added.
He equally highlighted the significance of the Osun electricity market bill.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has warned the local government caretaker committee members to be disciplined with their finances.
The governor sent the warning on Wednesday while swearing-in of local government caretaker committee members at the state government Secretariat, Abere.
He told them that it was not a time to marry a second wife.
Adeleke stated that those caught engaging in corrupt practices would face heavy sanctions.
He urged the committee to hit the ground running by developing their respective local government.
According to him, “Very important is the issue of financial discipline. This is not the time to marry a second or third wife. This is a time of financial prudence. Anyone found engaging in corrupt practices will be severely sanctioned.
“Your appointment is part of the process by my administration to kickstart a process that will produce a democratically elected local government system.
“I am directing you to hit the ground running by developing your respective local government areas through developmental initiatives.”
While recalling that his administration came on board at a time of constitutional crisis at the local government level, the Governor lamented that the previous government grossly violated the constitution and the law by conducting local government elections after its defeat.
Insisting that the election was a sham and a waste of billions of taxpayers’ money, Adeleke held that the Oyetola administration did not comply with the specific provisions of the law.

Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor, has made a new vow.
The governor vowed that his administration will reclaim the state property located in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Governor Adeleke gave the assurance on Monday during an on-the-spot assessment of the Osun House located at No 18, Femi Okunnu Road, former Cooper Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Adeleke who recalled that the gigantic 18 suit apartment was purchased by the first executive governor of the state, the late Isiaka Adeleke for the purpose of serving as a liaison office decried the lackadaisical attitude of the management towards the proper maintenance of the property.
While noting that the building has no functional generating set, running pipe born water and other utilities, he promised to set up a committee to look into it and carry out a proper investigation with a view to resuscitating the dilapidated property.
“This property was purchased by my late brother, the first Executive Governor of Osun State as a liaison office. When I became the Governor, I made it a point of duty to have an on-the-spot assessment of all the state property located in different places. I visited the one in Abuja and work is ongoing on it.
“I must be sincere with you, I am not happy with the deplorable condition of this facility which has no functional generating set or running pipe-borne water and other necessary utilities, it is rather unfortunate that the management is still collecting service charges from the occupants.
“I am so passionate about this building, this is why I’m going to set up a committee to investigate everything about this place and after that, we are going to work out a modality to reclaim it for the benefit of the state.
“I learnt that the building has been leased out. We want to know where the proceeds are being remitted.
“I want to promise you that I’m going to visit other places where Osun State Government has assets and ensure those converted to personal gains by some people are reclaimed,” the Governor concluded.
DAILY POST recalled that in 2022, the governor also paid an unscheduled visit to the Osun House in Abuja where he complained in the same manner.
The Osun State House in Abuja had been left dilapidated and the Governor Adeleke had blamed previous administrations for their attitude towards the state property.
