Every Osun Citizen Is Important To My Re-election Bid – Oyetola

The governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola on Monday said developmental projects of his administration are spread across every part of the state as a mark of importance placed on ever citizen.

He disclosed that his re-election campaign would be taken to every part of the State as no one can be overlooked.

Oyetola was speaking while fielding questions from journalists in Orile-owu, Ayedaade local government area of the State during his campaign.

Oyetola whose campaign train first port of call was the palace of Alayegun of Ode Omu, also visited the Olowu of Orile-owu as well as Olufi of Gbongan just as he addressed his fans, supporters and members the All Progressives Congress who received him at different campaign grounds in the three towns.

While addressing the crowd at the campaign venues, Governor Oyetola said the turnout was a testament to his performance since assumption of office.

“You handed me the mandate as your governor four years ago, and through the help of God, I did not disappoint you. I trust that you are not going to deviate this time around.

“Our works have shown that we are not neophyte in politics. In 1983, I had the privilege of sitting and interacting with Baba Awolowo, and that attests to the fact that I understand the concept of progressive governance. We are not in government to struggle for relevance, we came to serve, we came to fix Osun.

“We have taken note of other concerns, and we will attend to all in due time. But we must also remind you that this is an effort that requires collaboration. That is why we are appealing for your support, before, during and after the election, to enable us fix the state.

“Osun is at a very delicate phase in history, let us entrust its leadership to hands that have been tested, not gamblers or jesters, or those who think Osun is for sale”, Oyetola said.

Speaking in his palace, Olufi of Gbongan, Oba Adetoyese Oyeniyi, had commended the governor for his impressive record in less than four years.

Oba Oyeniyi said it was necessary for Governor Oyetola to return to consolidate on the works he had done since assuming office in November 2018.

“I say it everywhere I have the opportunity to speak that you have done so much, and I’m grateful to God for helping you this far. It is a must that you consolidate the good works you’ve done, and that is why another four years is necessary.

“We know your desire to govern Osun is not for selfish gains or interest and that is why your reelection is our collective project here in Gbongan”, Oba Oyeniyi said.

The Alayegun of Ode Omu, Oba James Bolanrinwa Alabi Oladipupo, on his part, described Governor Oyetola as a fulfilment of God’s promise to Osun, adding that his performance in three-and-a-half years showed that he was raised to fix Osun.

According to him: “God made a promise to Osun and fulfilled it with the emergence of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola. Those who are observant will know that there have been tremendous and significant changes in Osun since he became governor, and he will do even better if trusted with the mandate again.

“I appeal to you all not to work against the fulfilment of God’s promise. Rather, let us join hands with the man who has been ordained for this great task. I believe that come July 16, he will emerge victorious”, Alayegun said.

Also, the Olowu of Orile-Owu, Oba Daud Ajolola Akinfalabi, pledged the readiness of the Owu community to support Oyetola’s reelection on the strength of his performance.

Oba Akinfalabi who commended the governor for running a clearly defined, participatory and an all-inclusive government, registered his community’s confidence in Oyetola’s ability to consolidate on the works he had done in his first term.
