Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has once again captured the hearts of Nigerians as he officially handed an appointment letter to Oluwatosin Adejumo, the young puff-puff seller he encountered some weeks ago on the street, fulfilling the promise he made to turn her story around. This touching act of kindness has been described by many as another proof of Adeleke’s compassionate leadership style, which continues to endear him to the masses.
The life-changing moment, which was beautifully captured in viral photos and videos, shows Adejumo radiating joy and gratitude as she receives the appointment letter directly from Governor Adeleke himself. The governor, visibly emotional, reminded those present that his administration is not just about politics but about genuinely uplifting lives and bringing hope to ordinary citizens.
Standing proudly alongside her parent, Adejumo could not hold back her excitement, knowing that her life had taken a dramatic turn from being a roadside puff-puff seller to becoming a government staff member. The presence of her family added to the emotional atmosphere, symbolizing not only personal success but also a brighter future for her household.
Recall that GISTREEL previously reported the inspiring encounter, which went viral across social media platforms. During one of his movements in a government bus, Governor Adeleke, popularly known as the “dancing governor,” spotted Adejumo in the crowd. Touched by her courage and determination despite her struggles, he immediately stopped, invited her closer, and promised to support her dreams. Today’s fulfillment of that promise has been described by many Nigerians as nothing short of “grass to grace.”
Social media users and members of the public have since flooded the internet with heartfelt reactions, praising Governor Adeleke for keeping his word and for changing the trajectory of a young woman’s life in such a remarkable way. Many have described the story as one of divine favor and a reminder that destiny can change in a single moment.
