Now that Senator Adeleke has won as the people voted against the APC to protest Tinubu's Muslim-Muslim ticket, here are 10 things he could do to improve the lives of his people in Osun State

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Turn Ile-Ife into a tourist hub on the same scale as Ibiza. Invest massively in its infrastructure like hotels, tram, restaurants, hospitals, roads, nightclubs, swimming pools, etc

[2] Create an Amotekun Park in somewhere like Ikirun where people can go and see leopards in the wild

[3] Invest heavily in security. Make the Osun State Amotekun Corps the role model for state police in Nigeria

[4] Build Africa's largest horticultural plantation in somewhere like Ikire

[5] Build Africa's world's largest fruit farm in somewhere like Iwo

[6] Invest heavily in the annual Osun-Osogbo Festival. Bring it up to the same level as the Rio and Notting Hill Gate carnivals

[7] In 2005, the Ọsun-Ọsogbo Grove, was declared a World Heritage Site in 2005. It needs to be turned into a global tourist attraction on a par with Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Rome, Bethlehem, etc

[8] Osun State's Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls in Oriade Local Government Area has to be brought up to the level of Canada's Niagra Falls as both a tourist attraction and as a source of hydro-electric power

[9] Osun State is home to a dwindling population of royal antelope in the Ife South and Ife North local government areas. Governor Adeleke should build a mega wildlife colony in somewhere like Edunabon or Ifetedo, where they also breed other animals like grass cutters, springbok, impala. etc

[10] Governor Adeleke should create six industrial parks in Ilesha, Ile-Ife, Oshogbo, Ede, Gbogan and Ikire. Any foreign or local investors who open manufacturing plants there should be granted a two year tax holiday. Security will also be provided as will local housing with the construction of estates.
