Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the September 22 gubernatorial election in Osun State, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, has promised to continue with the legacies of the outgoing governor, Rauf Aregbesola, if he emerges as the governor after the poll.
Oyetola stressed that his administration would be anchored on the philosophy of continuity with a view to ensuring all round development which pace Aregbesola had set during his administration.
He gave the assurance at the weekend while addressing the members of a socio-political group in the state, the Osun Positive Force (OPF), during their ‘Thank You’ rally, in Osogbo, the state capital, to appreciate their full support, leading to his (Oyetola) victory during the primary election.
Oyetola, who doubles as the Chief of Staff to Governor Aregbesola reiterated, said he would consolidate on his achievements if given the opportunity to succeed the incumbent.
The APC flag-bearer, who thumbed up the efforts of the OPF members, leaders and the entire members of APC during the primary, said he would not disappoint them in living up to his promises and making them proud of their support if he became the governor.
Oyetola declared that he was in the best position to continue and sustain the giant strides of the current administration in the state, especially in the area of infrastructural and education development.
Ilerioluwa as Oyetola is fondly called pointed out that his governorship ambition was God’s project.
He, therefore, called on the members of the group, his party members and the people of the state to give him total support and vote for him to be able to position the state on a ladder of sociopolitical and economic development.
He assured that apart from consolidating on Aregbesola’s legacies, guaranteeing the dividends of democracy to the people would be the priority of his administration.
He promised to bring his wealth of experience in politics and administration to bear in running a government that has human face.
Oyetola who commended Aregbesola for transforming the state to a development entity also expressed fulfilment in working with him.
He described him as an enigma and most resourceful, consummate and creative governor in the history of the state.
