SPEECH OF OSUN STATE GOVERNOR ADEMOLA ADELEKE AT THE 2026 ANNUAL STATE PRAYER SUMMIT
PROTOCOLS….
I give praises and admiration to almighty God for making our gathering here today a reality. This is our fourth prayer session since I assumed the mantle of leadership in our dear state.
By the special grace of God and by the mass support of our people, we shall assemble here again in January, 2027 in victory and gratitude to God and the good people of Osun state.
I look back at the previous annual prayer sessions and I affirm that our good Lord is indeed the ruler of heaven and earth. Our God is our sustainer, our defender, our protector.
From the beginning to date, our God fights our battles for us. The universal being rises against those who rise against us. My God, your God, our God engages those who block us. We secured several divine victories in the last three years. We overcome several obstacles and challenges.
We are here today as a testimony that God rules in the affairs of men. We stand before you today as a government that enjoys the super grace of the creator. When we call him, he answers us; when we invoke him, he answers with thunderstorms. The divine crushes our enemies; He destroys their evil plots and we emerge victorious in battles upon battles.
As the Lord is of yesterday, today and tomorrow, as the Lord is ever on the throne, we shall continue to be victorious; we shall continue to overcome; we shall remain undefeated.
All the above shall be so because we serve nothing but the best interest of our people. From day one, we launched out to serve the people. From my assumption of office, I rolled out pro-people policies and programmes. Three years later, we have delivered across sectors for the benefits of people and state. We fulfill our promises to the people.
So as your Governor, I stand before you with a fulfilled heart. I have not disappointed Osun people. I have helped our neglected senior citizens; I have assisted the poor; I have rebuilt our roads and bridges; I have brought strong support to artisans; I addressed our educational and health challenges.
Under very difficult circumstances, we are resolving the half salary and pension debt which the opposition said cannot be paid. I have ensured that Osun money circulated within Osun. I ease the burden of investors. We have remained faithful to our vows to run a government of the people, by the people and of the people.
Dear clerics and opinion leaders of our dear state, I express our deep appreciation for your prayers and invocation. The hand of our creator is everywhere in the accomplishments of our government. God is answering our prayers all the way.
We should not stop praying; we should sustain our sleepless nights ; we should continue to seek divine favors and guidance.
We remain resolute in our desires to liberate Osun state and her people from under-development.
We remain determined to pursue our five point agenda to its logical conclusions. Our aspirations is for an Osun state that is collectively prosperous and a model for good governance in Nigeria.
I charge our people not to waiver in their support for our government. We cannot go back to the dark days. Our duty is to embark on electoral vigilance and activism.
I thank you all for listening.
H.E, Senator Ademola Adeleke
