The governor of Osun State, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, has revealed why he issued six executive orders in his first week as governor of the state.
He made this known at a thanksgiving service at Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim, Oke Gada, Ede, on Sunday.

Quoting Adeleke, the statement further read in parts, “We passed through tough days before we reached here. I can’t but constantly praise God, my brother, my sister, my political associates, my friends and the great people of Osun state.
“That massive support accounted for my hitting the ground running a week ago.
“That was why I issued those executive orders to dismantle all illegalities and clean up the mess I inherited.
