My Achievements for Muslim Ummah Surpass my Predecessors’ Records – Governor Adeleke

The Osun State Muslim Community today hosted Governor Ademola Adeleke with the Governor telling the muslim ummah that his records of achievements for the Islamic sector surpasses that of his predecessors.

Addressing the umbrella body of muslim faithfuls, the governor said his accomplishments for the ummah cannot be rivalled by his predecessors, flaunting his records as ground breaking and challenging the APC candidate to run on the records of his party while in power.

Accompanied by top muslim aides who spoke of the various deliveries in the last four years, the governor said for 12 years before his assumption of office, Osun has no Hajj camp, the only state in the South West without one.

“I am happy to report that my administration is almost completing the hajj camp to remove the shame on the ummah. They were in office and they did not dim it fit to build the camp for intending pilgrims.

“They were in office and they claimed to be real muslims, yet they did not think of a mosque at the Government House. My administration is building one.

“For their years in office, they refused to constitute the Hajj Welfare board. My administration has not only set up the board but we ensure multiple benefits for muslims on pilgrimage.

“Just recently, Osun became the first state in the South West to formalise issuance of Islamic marriage certificates. It is now operational. I have also directed that the processes for the issuance should henceforth be domiciled with the muslim community as the umbrella body for muslims in Osun state.

“You all know my principal officers and many members of my cabinet are muslims. I ensure muslims get their fair share in almost all areas.I listed all the above to show what I did that they refused to do when they were in office. You can judge who is a true believer from the work of our hands”, the governor submitted.

Corroborating the governor, the Special adviser on political affairs to the governor, Alhaji Muniru Raji declared that Senator Adeleke had delivered extensively for the muslim ummah, adding that “ the governor deserves our votes.

“They were in office and neglected the ummah. We thank Governor Adeleke for implementing several policies and projects to meet the needs and aspirations of muslims in Osun state. We know he will do more when he is re-elected on August 15th”, the special adviser submitted.

Earlier, the chairman of the Osun State Muslim Community, Alhaji Mustapha Olawuyi said the invitation to the governor was in pursuance of the open platforms for all governorship candidates to speak on their programmes and policies.

Alhaji Olawuyi who thanked the governor for his deliveries so far presented further requests to the governor, urging the number one citizen to forge ahead with his fair mindedness to all faiths.

The governor was accompanied by members of the Imole Campaign Council and the State Executive Council.
