The governor made this known during an interview with Punch, discussing his administration’s infrastructural projects, regional security, and his relationship with music star Davido.
Governor Adeleke affirmed that he does not have a godfather demanding returns, which could prompt him to divert state funds to repay political debts.
According to him; “I do not have a godfather demanding financial returns from me. No one bankrolled my election, so I am not under pressure to divert state funds to repay political debts.
“When a godfather funds your election or lends you money for campaigns, they expect contracts or financial rewards in return. You become obligated to them, and in trying to please them, governance suffers. After two years in office, there would be little or nothing to show.
“I am grateful for my family’s unwavering support, especially my brother, Dr Deji Adeleke, who funded my election. He has never demanded a single kobo from me, nor has he asked for any contracts. Instead, he constantly reminds me of my promise to deliver good governance and ensure the people of Osun enjoy the dividends of democracy. He has even warned me that if I deviate from this path, he will personally hold a press conference to denounce me.”
I am fortunate to have a supportive family, and that has played a crucial role in helping me achieve my goals for Osun State.”
