Singer Davido tackles Gov Oyetola over campaign promise to Osun farmers

Nigerian recording artiste, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has questioned the decision of Osun State governor Gboyega Oyetola’s to wait until his second term to fulfill his promise to farmers in the state.

Davido aired his opinion on his official Twitter platform on Sunday, March 20.

This was after the Osun State governor engaged members of the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) on Sunday in the Odo-Otin local government area of the state.

He mentioned during the programme that he had not neglected his plans for them as the farmers would be his priority should he emerge victorious in the coming Osun State governorship election on July 16.

Oyetola added that his administration would continue to support farmers with necessary farm inputs.

Reacting to Oyetola’s declaration, Davido questioned why the governor could not do the needful now since he was still in power. He asked why the governor had to wait for a second term to take care of the farmers’ needs.

Davido wrote:

“Why not fulfill it before election?
Must you wait to be reelected?”

David I’d uncle, Ademola Adeleke, popularly called, the dancing senator, is also contesting for the governorship seat of Osun State under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the state and a firm, VirtueplusTwo Integrated Nigeria Limited, for the establishment of a bio-refinery in the state.

The bio-refinery said to be the first of its kind in the state will be situated on a large expanse of land measuring over 20 acres at Ayekale area in the Boripe Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking at the event on Sunday, and witnessed by the state Commissioner for Justice, Mr Femi Akande, the governor said his government took time to carefully study the MoU bothering on the integrity and competence of the firm to deliver the multi-million naira project.

Represented by the Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation, Hon. Sola Oladepo, the governor described the pact as another breakthrough in the area of the industrialisation of the state.

Oyetola said the establishment of a bio-refinery in the state would aid the growth of small and medium scale enterprises.

A moratorium period of two years have been given to a firm known as VirtueplusTwo Integrated Nigeria Limited to build a bio-refinery in our state.

“…by the time a bio-refinery of this magnitude becomes fully functional in the Ayekale area of the state, it would create 5,000 direct and 10,000 indirect employment opportunities for the people.

“The attendant benefits of the bio-refinery are therefore immeasurable for the citizens and non-citizens of our dear old state,” he said.

In his remarks, Chairman/Managing Director, VirtueplusTwo Integrated Nigeria Limited, Dr Segun Iroko, lauded the confidence in his firm by the state government to deliver the first-ever bio-refinery project in the state.

He said work would commence in earnest at the project site in Ayekale in a few days.
