The Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke says he is very qualified to be the President of Nigeria and will seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
In an interview with Arise News, Adeleke said his future political ambitions and plans for the future when he leaves his seat as governor are in God’s hands.
He told the Arise News anchor that, “I’m qualified to be the president of Nigeria, so why not? If God says that it’s time for me to become president, I will grab it and take care of my people. I’m not going to say no, anything can happen.”
He added that he is working round the clock to make sure that Osun is seen as a great state.
Governor Adeleke said he has so far provided palliative measures to alleviate the challenges that the people may face, as well as commenced works that he has in mind for the development of the state.
In his words: “I’ve already formed a lot of committees and they are bringing everything. I’m working 24/7 to make sure that Osun is great.
“I inherited a huge debt, about almost forty-something billion. So I started paying them half salary slowly, little by little. I think I have paid about four times now, the fifth one is coming. And then, the pensioners, I’m paying them too… I gave them free medical care and all that. So that’s part of the palliatives to cushion. Even the health care.”
