Gboyega Oyetola, governor of Osun, has promised to deliver “more goodies” to the state’s residents if elected for a second term.

The governorship election of the state is scheduled to take place on July 16.

Oyetola spoke on Sunday while addressing residents in Ijimo village, Oriade LGA of Osun state.

The governor, who was represented by Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, his special adviser on civic engagement, said the “good works” will continue if he is re-elected.

“On assumption of office in November 2018, I promised prompt and full payment of workers’ salaries, as well as pensions,” he said.

“And till date, the promise is well kept, as workers and our senior citizens get their entitlements as and when due.

“I also promised to embark on developmental projects, and this is evident in the areas of road rehabilitation, health, education, youth empowerment, as well as the provision of free monthly feeding for vulnerable groups, among others.

“Aside Olaiya flyover, which is waiting for the inauguration, we had embarked on other road rehabilitation and reconstruction across the state.

“We recently approved repairs of 25 roads, spanning 200 kilometres in the state.

“On our free monthly food distribution, over 300,000 vulnerable households have benefitted from it since inception, and we will not stop.

“In the area of health intervention, we rehabilitated, revitalized, renovated and upgraded 332 focal Primary Healthcare Centres across the state.

“The administration has distributed drugs worth N50 million across the state Primary Health care facilities, as well as several new beds to all health facilities across the state, among others.

“If you give me your support again, which I believe you will, these good works will never stop, but rather, expect much more goodies.

“You have tested me for close to four years now, and you can see that I have not in any way failed you.

“Let’s join hands to ensure continuity for the benefit and greater Osun, which we will all be proud of.”
