Osun guber: Group makes case for credible successor

Barely a few months to the 2018 gubernatorial  election in Osun  State, a call has gone to the people of the state to ensure that a credible candidate take over from Governor Rauf Aregbesola in order to continue his good work in the state of living spring and that anything contrary will set the  state back.

This warning was handed down yesterday in Oshogbo, the state capital, by the Publicity Secretary of the Osun People’s Assembly (OPA), Oloye Olalekan Abegunde, where he eulogised the Osun State governor for his laudable projects across the state and made it clear that “only a credible candidate who is hardworking and knowledgeable should be supported to succeed this performing governor”.

The OPA further: “We are concerned about the progress of the state of Osun in the past seven years and we wish to state that Governor Rauf Aregbesola has given the state desired facelift in all ramifications.  He has turned around the fortunes of the state and as the election for his successor comes up, our advice is that our people must screen those scrambling to take over from the amiable engineer turned politician and choose wisely in order to continue the good work”.

The group disclosed that “ for us in OPA,a credible ,trusted and tested hand  has been identified and it’s on this note that we shall be appealing to the delegates of the APC to give their support to Engineer Adelere  Adeyemi Oriolowo who fortunately is of the same ideological school with the governor. We make bold to say that we shall propagate the gospel across the state to ensure that Engineer. Oriolowo  gets the ticket of the  ruling party  to ensure the continuity of Aregbesola’s legacy”.
