Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State says farmers, butchers, produce buyers and women involved in agriculture across the state have expressed their support for his re-election, describing the endorsement as a vote of confidence in his administration’s agricultural initiatives.
The governor shared the message through his official social media platform, expressing appreciation to the agricultural stakeholders for their confidence and support.
According to Adeleke, his administration has focused on transforming agriculture through interventions including the provision of tractors, farm inputs, improved seedlings and other forms of support for farmers.
He described the latest endorsement as more than an expression of political support, saying it should serve as a reminder of the need for his administration to do more for people working across the agricultural sector.
Adeleke Promises Expanded Agricultural Support
Looking ahead to a second term, the governor said his administration would expand access to farm machinery and agricultural inputs.
Access to modern farm machinery remains an important issue for agricultural productivity, particularly for farmers who may find it difficult to afford or access equipment individually. Increased access to tractors and other machinery could help farmers cultivate larger areas and improve the efficiency of farming operations.
Adeleke also pledged continued attention to agricultural inputs and improved seedlings, which are important components of productive farming.
Focus on Agro-Processing
One of the major areas highlighted by the governor is agro-processing.
A stronger agro-processing sector could provide opportunities to convert raw agricultural products into finished and semi-finished goods within the state. This can potentially create additional employment opportunities while giving farmers and other participants in the agricultural value chain more ways to generate income from agricultural products.
The governor said his administration would strengthen agro-processing and create more opportunities across the agricultural value chain.

This approach could benefit several groups beyond farmers, including produce buyers, processors, transporters, traders, butchers and women operating agricultural businesses.
What the Endorsement Means for Osun Agriculture
Agriculture remains an important source of livelihood for many communities across Osun State. Consequently, government policies and investments in the sector can have an impact beyond the farm, affecting food supply, markets, employment and rural economic activities.
The reported endorsement from farmers and other agricultural stakeholders therefore comes with expectations. Stakeholders will be watching to see how proposed agricultural programmes are implemented and how widely the benefits reach farmers and businesses across the state.
For the administration, the endorsement also presents an opportunity to build on existing agricultural programmes and address areas where farmers may still require additional support.
Governor Adeleke’s message suggests that agriculture will remain an important part of his agenda if he secures another term in office.
As the state looks toward the next political cycle, the focus will increasingly shift from promises and endorsements to implementation, measurable results and the ability of agricultural programmes to deliver sustainable benefits to people across Osun’s agricultural value chain.
The governor ended his message with the campaign slogan #ImoleCarryOnAccordingly, signalling his call for continuity and further development of his administration’s programmes.
