Adeleke’s Revamped 5-Point Agenda Sparks Fresh Hope Among Youth, Women, Workers

 By Oriontimes Political Desk


The updated five-point agenda of Ademola Adeleke is generating renewed excitement among key segments of Osun’s population, particularly youth, women, and workers, as stakeholders interpret the revised blueprint as a strategic expansion of inclusive governance.





Recently unveiled, the agenda outlines five core priorities: integrated welfare and empowerment for youth, women, and workers; infrastructure consolidation for social and economic wellbeing; agro-industrial expansion for human development and shared prosperity; access to affordable and quality healthcare and education; and the creation of a more secure and enabling business environment to drive job creation.

At the heart of public attention is the first pillar, which now explicitly incorporates youth and women alongside workers. Previously framed simply as “Citizens and Workers’ Welfare,” the revised wording has been widely welcomed as a direct response to sustained advocacy from youth and women groups across the state.

Several youth organisations, while acknowledging the administration’s performance between 2022 and 2026, had called for a more deliberate inclusion of young people in the policy framework. Their submissions emphasized the need for expanded opportunities and targeted interventions in the next phase of governance from 2026 to 2030.

Women-focused groups also contributed to shaping the updated agenda, presenting detailed proposals aimed at deepening inclusion. Among their recommendations is the institutionalisation of women-focused desks across ministries, departments, and agencies to ensure sustained attention to gender-related development priorities.

Reacting to the development, the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Kazeem Akinleye, reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to inclusive governance. He assured that the government would sustain and expand its pro-youth and pro-women initiatives if re-elected.

According to him, the updated manifesto reflects the collective aspirations of the people and signals a renewed commitment to responsive leadership.

“Osun has witnessed a strong performance of Governor Adeleke in his first term. Our people should expect more, more service delivery, more responsiveness, and greater alignment with the wishes of the populace,” Akinleye stated.

The revised agenda is seen by observers as both a consolidation of past achievements and a forward-looking strategy designed to broaden participation and deepen impact across all sectors of Osun society.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
