Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has declared Friday, August 14, 2026, a work-free day for public service workers across the state ahead of Saturday’s governorship election
The declaration was contained in a circular issued by the Head of Service, Elder Ayanleye Aina and posted by the Spokesperson to the state governor, the Olawale Rasheed on X on Wednesday.
According to the circular, the decision was taken to enable workers who need to travel to do so and prepare to exercise their constitutional right to vote in the election.
The government said all categories of workers are covered by the declaration, except those engaged in emergency and essential duties.
Meanwhile, Adeleke has urged Osun workers, their relatives and friends to turn out massively for the election and defend their votes to ensure continuity in the state.
In a pre-election message to workers, the governor commended the leadership of organised labour and workers for their support for his administration.
He also described the relationship between his administration and Osun workers as mutually beneficial.
“The time for action has come. As formal workers at state establishments, I task you to mobilise informal workers, artisans and professional bodies,” Adeleke said.
