In this time of global economic downturns and woes accelerated by the Covid 19 pandemic, Governor Oyetola has kept the State going without subjecting her, the people and future generations to the burden of borrowing. Whereas it may be argued and rightly so too, that borrowing within reason and effective use of funds is good, what is better is how an administrator is able to deliver and is still delivering without the necessity of borrowing. I want to submit that Governor Gboyega Oyetola has found a formula to keep Osun going without adding to the burden of previous debts. Perhaps, such a time may come when the State may need external assistance in terms of loans, I dare to say that if such a time ever comes during the tenure of Governor Oyetola, Osun state indigenes should be prepared for a massive turnaround in terms of developments which will drive the economy to make the state buoyant enough to offset such loans.

Some are germinating. We can see massive road constructions and consistent repairs. I have emphasised to my people the reconstruction of the Odeomu/Ipetumodu road.

The construction of roads and bridges in Gbongan and Orile-Owu, all in my local government Ayedaade local government. We can see education getting requisite attention and its reflection on the students' performances. We can see a boost in the State's economy specifically in Agriculture. The civil servants have had no reason to rain 'curses' on their Governor in a long time. The monthly feeding of indigent people all over the local government is a thing that speaks volumes and is worthy of emulation by other states, what of dynamic feeding of primary school pupils which attracted young children to school, children are always looking forward to resumption on holidays because of a balanced diet.
