Governor Adeleke sets record straight on Freedom Park, exposes APC's lies, propaganda
The attention of the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has been drawn to a frivolous, unfounded and unthinking social media post, that the State government led by Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has sold the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.
The assertion is not only ridiculous, it is also barbaric. It is indeed the figment of imagination of the enemy of Osun State, who have failed in their many attempts to blackmail, malign and disrepute the personality and good governance of the State Governor, especially in the economic sector.
The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) with no blueprint, agenda or ideas about effective governance should, ordinarily be ignored but this is to set the record straight, once and for all.
The Nelson Mandela Freedom Park sits on the landed property of Federal Government, Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), but developed by the government of Osun State under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, mainly for the purpose of Urban Renewal.
Any interested member of the public can fact-check the ownership of the Freedom Park, through the Nigerian Railway Corporation, for the record.
So, if some people, who are bereft of ideas about issue-based campaign, decency and good governance, are now making laughable allegation, they should be totally ignored.
It is abundantly clear to the public, especially the good people of Osun State that Governor Adeleke is running his government with the fear of GOD, integrity, passion and dedication to the transformation of lives of the citizens.
His Excellency, the Asiwaju of Edeland has neither sold any government property nor borrowed a dime from anyone, despite his transformative achievements in Infrastructure, Commerce and Industry, Health, Education, Agriculture and workers' welfare in the State.
No wonder why the masses rejected the APC in the 2022 poll and are prepared to do it again, come August 15, 2026 gubernatorial election of Osun State. They have tested and tasted both governments of APC and that of Governor Adeleke. People who are obviously envious of Governor Adeleke's sterling performance in governance should be ignored.
Signed:
Rev. Bunmi Jenyo Ph.D
Honourable Commissioner,
Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
Osun State.
