Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has assured President Bola Tinubu of his commitment to deliver the state’s votes, emphasising that he does not make empty promises.
Governor Adeleke made this pledge during the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary Ajibola Basiru’s visit to the Government House on Sunday.
Adeleke affirmed his genuine support, asserting that he intended to deliver Osun’s votes “100 per cent,” emphasising that politics must be conducted with integrity.
He, therefore, called on all Osun State stakeholders to unite beyond differences for the President’s success.
“I don’t make empty promises. When I say we will deliver Osun State votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I mean it wholeheartedly,” he stated.

Adeleke credited his principles to the values instilled by his father, a diplomat and labour union politician, who taught him and his siblings the importance of fulfilling commitments.
He recounted his role in political negotiations that led to Godswill Akpabio’s emergence as Senate President and Tajudeen Abbas as House Speaker.
Adeleke said he assured President Tinubu during that period that Osun lawmakers would support the President’s preferred candidates, despite indications that some from his political circle favoured Senator Abdulaziz Yari.
According to him, he contacted the lawmakers, persuading them to align with the President’s choices, and ultimately, all three Osun senators and House members supported the candidates.
This experience strengthened Adeleke’s belief that political promises must be honoured.
“I don’t make empty promises; I don’t play games. That’s not me, because I have a fear of God,” he stated.
The governor called on Osun politicians and residents to put aside divisions and collaborate for the state’s development and the President’s success, emphasising that political differences should not hinder efforts supporting initiatives beneficial to Osun and its people.
