Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has urged his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola to stop listening to Devil’s whispering on a possible return to government, declaring: “Our God is of justice, equity and honesty, not of electoral banditry and deceit.

“The holy books even noted that devil's whispering is real and no one should mistake the voice of devil for God. Our Almighty God has spoken resoundingly in favour of a new Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke. Mr Oyetola should better be reading ‘auzubilahi mina shaytani rajeem’ so he can hear the true voice of God – that a new leader is anointed by divine will for Osun people”, the statement issued on Monday and signed by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted.

Reminding Oyetola that there is life after losing election, Governor Adeleke affirmed that Osun people have moved on and are now enjoying “a new government of openness, accountability and responsiveness to yearnings and aspirations of the citizenry.”

“Osun has launched a new chapter. This new leadership has returned state power to the people who are now feeling the new air of government of the people, by the people and for the people. Never will Osun be returned again to the years of locust,” the statement concluded.
