Recent actions by Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state revealed new facts about his governance ideology and styles. The President of the Adeleke dynasty governs without partisan bias and seems more preoccupied with selecting the best within the context of due process in each governance decision.
It is interesting to report that the father of the recently pardoned fowl thief, Mr Olowookere is a strong member of the All Progressive Congress. What is shocking is that sources within the Government said the Governor got to know the political affiliation of the affected family only after the pardon was granted yesterday.
According to the source, “the Governor was only asking the legal team to look into how best to exercise his power of prerogative of mercy after the public outcry. He never for once asked where or which party the family belonged.
“When he was to sign, an aide suggested we check the political antecedents of the listed beneficiaries. The Governor waved it aside and said “I am the Governor for all.Osun people irrespective of political affiliations.
“Let us govern without bias based on politics”, he was quoted as saying.
