Osun and continuity: Aregbesola, Oyetola example
Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s Chief Press Secretary Ismail Omipidan highlights the achievements of his boss, who has been building on the feats of his predecessor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Since his assumption of office about nine months ago, the administration has demonstrated that it is one that could be trusted by the people at home and in the Diaspora, as it has begun fulfilling the promises made to the people, despite the initial litigation distraction that lasted about eight months.
According to the immediate past Commissioner of Finance and chairman of the Planning Committee, Bola Oyebamiji, the occasion was to celebrate Oyetola’s triumph at the Supreme Court and to celebrate the appointment of the immediate past governor, Aregbesola by President Muhammadu Buhari as the Minister of Interior, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Oyetola who reflected on the circumstances, hurdles and challenges that confronted him before ascending the office described his emergence at the poll and victory at the court as divine. “It is God that sent us to govern the state and I thank God that we have been following the path He laid for us as reflected in the wonderful things that He had allowed us to do and to be doing in the last nine months of our administration.
Earlier in his remarks, Aregbesola commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the courage in appointing him in spite of the opposition to his candidature from some quarters. “I am thankful to God that in the entire South West, after late Obafemi Awolowo and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I am the next that God favoured to have been able to successfully hand over power to a successor from the same party. This is a rare feat.”
The duo expressed satisfaction on the spate of development that the state had witnessed in the last nine months of Oyetola’s administration. The traditional ruler implored Oyetola not to relent in his efforts at taking the state to greater heights.
