Ademola Adeleke, about one year and four months after swearing in as the Osun State Governor, has finally moved into the Okefia Government House, Osogbo, the official residence of the governor.

Ademola Adeleke, about one year and four months after swearing in as the Osun State Governor, has finally moved into the Okefia Government House, Osogbo, the official residence of the governor.

Adeleke was sworn in on Sunday, November 27, 2022, and rather than moving into the Government House to live like his predecessors, he chose to return to his private house in Ede, a neigbouring town to Osogbo.

Despite criticisms by the opposition All Progressives Congress, Adeleke remained in his private house and sometimes conducted the business of the state from there.

However, a statement on Sunday by his spokesman, Olawale Rasheed, said the move was due to renovation of the state house which had been completed and Adeleke had finally moved in.

Rasheed explained that the rehabilitation work covered the main house, the completion of an abandoned multi-bedroom guest house, remodelling of many of the structures, and refixing of many derelict facilities.

Speaking at the unveiling of the renovated Government House, an event attended by top officials of the Osun State Government, Adeleke said his administration was committed to upgrading state assets irrespective of whether such programmes were inherited or commenced by him.
