Salaam stated this while featuring on a political programme, Oro Oselu, aired on Uniq FM, Ilesa, Osun State.

The ADC candidate in a statement by his Media Office on Tuesday, said his focus remains “on governance, development, and policies capable of improving the lives of the people rather than engaging in political abuse and distractions.”

Salaam noted that stable electricity remains a necessity for economic growth, industrial expansion, youth employment, and the survival of small and medium-scale businesses, stating readiness “To prioritise solving the state’s energy crisis.”

“Meaningful development can thrive in an environment plagued by poor power supply” and assured the residents that his administration would “explore partnerships and innovative energy solutions capable of boosting power generation and distribution across the state.”

He maintained that the people of Osun deserve leadership driven by vision, peace, and practical solutions, stressing that his ambition is centred on restoring quality governance and sustainable development to the state.
