According to the leader of Yoruba Community in Cote D’Ivour, “I have traveled round the state on three separate occasions that I have visited Nigeria since 2022 when you were sworn in, Your Excellency has transformed virtually every towns and cities without leaving rural areas abandoned. I must say that other members of our community have also corroborated this upon their returns to Abidjan whenever they have reason to come home”.

Chief Adegboyega explained that out of about 2 million Yoruba’s in the Francophone country, Osun Indigenes are the majority.

The group thereafter invited the Governor to visit Abidjan and see how much popularity he has gained in the diaspora based on his sterling performance in office as Governor in just 2 years.

While appreciating the Governor for the major road projects that have been completed and many others that are still ongoing, they appealed to Governor Adeleke to expedite action on the reconstruction of road linking Iwo to Ejigbo.

In his response, Governor Ademola Adeleke appreciated the visiting Osun Indigenes In Cote D’Ivoir for their show of appreciation for the delivery of good governance by his administration.
While assuring them that the road project requested has been captured in the 2025 budget, Senator Adeleke said his administration will do everything possible to factor the Cote D’Ivoir residents in the scheme of developing the state just as he promised that his administration will open a liaison office in Abidjan to enable Osun indigenes in the country interface easily with their state government.
