Details of the meeting between Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and members of the State House of Assembly have emerged.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the governor paid a visit to the Assembly during plenary on Monday to seek their support in running his administration, just days after lawmakers disagreed with him on some of his Executive Orders.
In his address to lawmakers, Adeleke pledged that his administration will not abandon any of the projects begun by the previous administration, emphasizing that government is a continuous process.

Now that election is over, I want everyone to join me to move the state forward, government can not do it alone. For us to have an enviable state, everyone must be ready to play their part for the state to move forward.

In his remarks, the Assembly Speaker, Timothy Owoeye, promised that the House will do everything to support the government, saying they may only disagree with the executive based on facts of the law and not sentiments.
He said:
Your Excellency, you and your team have the utmost task of strengthening the Executive-Legislative relationship, it is most important considering the differences in the ideology of our political parties. We must also allow the rule of law to guide our actions, behavior, and activities during this period.
Under my leadership, be rest assured that this Assembly will support your administration according to best global practices. Also, it is important that your administration continue to uphold the rule of law and principles of fair hearing. Any deviation from this path may lead to a State of anarchy and crisis.
