Dr. Isaac Oluyamo, the Bishop of Ijesha North Anglican Diocese, has advised the new governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke to ensure he fulfills the promise he made to the people of the state while campaigning.
The Bishop gave the advice while speaking during the 2022 Diocesan Summit of Ijesha North Anglican Communion, where he urged the governor to ensure he pays the 15 months of backlog salaries and pension owed the civil servants and retirees by the administration of Rauf Aregbesola.
Oluyamo congratulated the new governor, asking him to serve the people of Osun State with love and accountability, while assuring him that the Anglican communion will continue to pray for him.
He said, “ You must be prudent and accountable, the upliftment of the people out of poverty and underdevelopment should be paramount in the Governor’s heart. I want to assure him that the entire Ijesha North Anglican Diocese will continue to pray for him to have the wisdom to deliver good governance and have a successful tenure of office.”

The clergyman went on to suggest that the former senator should rule the state with the fear of God and show compassion if he wants to be successful.
“I want to urge him(Adeleke) to rule the State with the fear of God and with the love of the masses at heart. With these two things in mind, he will hardly commit any errors. He should always remember that the people of the State willingly gave the mandate through their votes and he should not let them down.
“I strongly implore him to fulfill all his promises to the people especially as it concerns Civil Servants and retirees. He should endeavor to pay the backlog of salaries and the pension of retirees because it is their due and they have laboured for it”. Oluyamo added.
