"Sports will make Osun more popular. By the time the many incentives of our government materializes, you will be happy to play. Sports will become a major strength of our state.So tomorrow, to encourage you, I want all of us to go to the stadium and watch you play. I want to do the kick-off", the State Governor concluded.

The Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi who was present at the event commended the sportsmanship spirit of Governor Adeleke, reassuring the sport stakeholders in Osun state that one of their own is the Chief Executive of the state

The Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Teslim Igbalaye praised the Governor for acting promptly on the request for buses for the state football teams. 

" Since we got the new bus, the teams have not lost a single match. They are in the lower division and played with teams in higher divisions and didn't lose. With your support, we want to pilot them to the NFL.", the SSG noted.
