Governor gets Council of Obas’ backing

Osun State Traditional Council of Obas, chaired by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, yesterday assured Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of its for his re-election.

The governor has declared his intention to run for a second term on July 16.

His Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ismail Omipidan, said the Council of Obas, during their monthly meeting at the Finance Building, Abere, hailed the modest achievements recorded by the Oyetola istration in the last three years.

A statement by Omipidan said the governor paid an unscheduled visit to the Council of Obas and declared his intention to run for a second term as part of efforts to consolidate on the good work and appreciable performance of the istration.

He said: “Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, the Chairman of the Osun State Traditional Council of Obas and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, praised the achievements the istration has made since its inception.

“Ooni Ogunwusi, who described the governor’s visit as first of its kind in the history of the state, said the governor’s high sense of modesty, prudence, probity and integrity necessitated their decision to continuously give him all-round .


“Today, being the first meeting of traditional rulers in the new year, the governor paid us a surprise visit and we were very elated, very happy and we prayed for him because we were very excited about the visit.

“This is the first of its kind in the history of our state. I have been on the throne for years. No governor has ever come to visit us as he did today. Though they tried their best to leave us alone for us not to be partisan, this time we are very joyous that the governor brought around the entire governance structure to come and see the way we operate; and with all humility too, the governor sat as one of the floor .

“What we saw in the past were commissioners, special advisers, among others. But today, Mr. Governor sat with us and we discussed together on the need to take our state to greater heights. We are very appreciative of this gesture and we are very proud of him for creating something out of nothing. We will continue to pray for him on the thrones of our forebears.”

Oyetola thanked the monarchs for their affection, which he noted had been the driving force motivating him to put in his best in governance.

He said: “I decided to come and visit our fathers when it occurred to me that they would be holding their first meeting today. Also, I was highly impressed by the large presence of traditional rulers at the inter-religious prayers session we held two days ago where we had about 60 monarchs in attendance. This to us shows that they are with us. They own this government and see this government like theirs.”

Some of the traditional rulers in attendance were Orangun of Ila, Oba AbduWahab Oyedokun; Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal; Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Ayotunde Olabomi; Alaagba of Aagba, Oba Rufus Ogunwole; Olunisa of Inisa, Oba Joseph Oladunjoye Oyedele; Orangun of Oke-Ila, Oba Adedokun Abolarinwa; Owamiran of Esa-Oke, Oba Adeyemi Adediran; Elegboro of Ijebu-Jesa, Oba Moses Olufemi Agunsoye’ among others.

APC almost lost Osun state in 2018 because of Aregbesola. As it stands, Aregbe and his fellow noisemakers can’t do anything. They can’t work against the party and even if they choose to, they will fail because they are not popular enough.

Oyetola has corrected the mistakes of Aregbesola. Workers are now being paid regularly and there is nothing like half salary again. All the irrational and divisive policies of the past have been reversed.

The governor will win his senatorial district easily while the illiterate dancer will win his own district as well. The Ijesha/Ife district will decide the winner and good enough, Omisore who usually lock down Ife votes is now with APC. The governor’s people will be in charge of mobilizing for votes in the Ijesha axis unlike the last time out when it was left to Aregbesola who failed woefully to deliver.

The evil party will fail.

We prefer Adeleke

Oyetola may likely win just as APC have always been wining in some states like Imo, Osun, kano & Kogi.

I prefer Adeleke

Aregbe is the reason APC almost lost osun in 2018

Aregbe lost his own political base ilesa woefully. Had it been Apc wwon in ilesa the dancing senator would had ve lost on first ballot.

Aregbe didn't work for oyetola first term why should oyetola be worried about him.

Aregbe has been dymstified home (osun state) and away(alimosho lagos state).
He got to abuja and start working against his political benefactor. He was the reason why ambode clash with GAC and Tinubu

OBO is watching

The man is the apt definition of failure!

Apc will win hands down

To the mod that banned me for more than one month cos I called out the hypocrisy of the vulture griller guy, thu.der faya your life

You want to continue his work on people

Na so

"Omisore locks down Ife votes" but APC had to rig the supplementary election in Ife even after Omisore worked for them, you act as if you know everything but nah, you know little

he is right aregbe destablised apc permutation in osun that's why they needed rerun in ife central( omisore political base) to win.

If aregbe didn't lose woefully in ilesha, apc would have defeated adeleke at first ballot.

This guy understand that Ogbeni Aregbe is a colossal failure in governance.. he cut off ties with him and focus on human oriented policies ... Aregbe really suffered civil servants in osun...he's a wicked person...let's see how it goes with the election...But,is Adeleke all PDP got in Osun?

They come and go, yet no development. The latter is worse than the former.
