Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has said his administration is engaging with the Nigerian national government to resolve the crisis at the local government level in the state.
Adeleke stated this while hosting a delegation of the Canadian High Commission led by the Deputy High Commissioner, calling the initiative “a timely option in view of global economic realignment”.
A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Monday, said Adeleke during the meeting, called on the Canadian High Commission to join hands with his government for the drive to open new partnership between Nigerian and Canadian subnational governments.
The statement read in part, “Osun state is actively engaging with the Nigerian national government to resolve some binational disagreements you may be reading in the news.
“Our democracy is a work in progress and we are assured that ongoing contact with the Federal authority will provide an eventual political solution to the crisis at the local government level in the state.
“We hold to the fact that our president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a democrat and he is committed to ensuring observance of the constitution and the rule of law. Osun remains peaceful and governance delivery is ongoing. I have prioritised good governance and Mr President is equally an agent of good governance and people-centred administration. We are therefore in consensus with the Presidency and the Federal Government.”
Speaking earlier, the head of the Canadian delegation, Carlus Rojas Arbulu, said the team is in the state to explore economic partnerships between Osun businesses and Canadian companies.
