Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, says Southern Nigeria cannot quite take any political decisions with APC chieftain, Bola Tinubu, out of the country. He says the South is waiting for his return before it takes any serious position.
Tinubu has been out of the country – the United Kingdom – since July 2021, recovering from, allegedly, a knee replacement surgery.
Among many Political heavy weights who had gone to visit him in the UK is President Muhammadu Buhari. Governors, including Akeredolu had also gone to visit him.
Akeredolu is the Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum. A few days ago, he let it be known that the South would not support any Political Party which does not pick its Presidential candidate from the South.
Speaking on Arise Television on Sunday, Akeredolu described Tinubu as the Capo of Southern Nigeria, saying they are waiting for him to come back in order to take directions.
Tinubu is reportedly very interested in running for the Presidential seat in 2023.
Akeredolu denied going to the UK to discuss politics with Tinubu when asked if he would support Tinubu’s candidacy. But he said:
“APC will decide who the candidate will be. For me, whatever APC says, I will follow.
“We went to London because it was important for us to go and see for ourselves how he (Tinubu) is doing. He’s the Capo for us here. By the time he comes, we can make some serious decisions.”
Governor Akeredolu has been talking tough on a number of national issues, including the Anti-open grazing bill which he has signed into Law and the VAT controversy between some State Governments and the Federal Government.
Southern Governors are in support of both, except Dave Umahi, Ebonyi State Governor, who is against States collecting VAT.
Arsonists have set fire on the building housing the office of the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, in Awgu Local government of Enugu state.
This happened Sunday morning when no one was in the office.
Resident Electoral Commissioner for Enugu, Mr. Emeka Ononamadum reportedly confirmed the incident, noting that there was extensive damage to election materials as the fire was concentrated where electoral materials were stored.
Some indigenes of the town suspected sabotage.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, reacting, said that all movable election materials were already evacuated after a previous incident earlier in the year.
“Fortunately, all movable election materials had been evacuated following recent attacks on our offices in the State. There are no casualties in the incident”, he said.
“The identity or motives of attackers are unknown while the incident has been reported to the Nigeria Police Force for investigation.
“The Commission appreciates the prompt response of the security agencies comprising the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) as well the Enugu State Fire Service and the Awgu Local Government Neighbourhood Watch.”
The Middle Belt Forum whose member Dr Obadiah Mailafia was says the late Central Bank of Nigeria’s Deputy Governor, was treated shabbily and even denied adequate treatment by doctors at the hospitals he went to, including the Central Bank Hospital.
In a statement in which it reacted to Mailafia’s sudden date, revealed that he died at the Gwagwalada General Hospital and not the National Hospital.
The statement signed by Dr Isuwa Doga, disclosed that Mailafia fell ill on return to Abuja from Akure on September 12, and was taken to the CBN Hospital where he was shabbily treated until an intervention from a Senior staff.
And there was worse.
When he was eventually transferred to the Gwagwalada Hospital, he was denied the treatment he needed even when foreign doctors recommended otherwise.
Following is the full text of the statement.
“The death of the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada, Abuja, this morning came to us as a great shock. As someone who relentlessly participated in the activities of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), his untimely death has dealt a deadly blow on ethnic nationalities of not only the Middle Belt but the country at large.
“Arising from various enquiries from Nigerians over the circumstances of his death, the Forum wishes to state as follows: That Dr Mailafia arrived Abuja last Sunday September 12, 2021 from Akure and was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by his wife.
“On arrival at home, the wife noticed he was not in the best of health conditions and seemed to be suffering from malaria. After three days of treatment without signs of improvement, he went to the CBN Hospital on Friday September 17, 2021 where he was shabily treated. It took the intervention of a senior medic who immediately placed him on oxygen and admitted him.
“Dr Mailafia’s was later given the option of choosing three hospitals: Gwagwalada Hospital, National Hospital and EHA Clinics. The wife opted for the third choice. On arrival at the EHA Clinics, the wife was subjected to yet another moment of anxiety as it took a direct order from the top management of the hospital to accept him.
“After few hours of treatment, the EHA Clinics told the wife that it was expedient to transfer the former CBN Deputy Governor to Gwagwalada as the clinic was not fully equipped to handle the case.
“The wife opposed the decision and insisted that she was opposed to the idea of taking her husband to Gwagwalada. Mailafia’s wife only succumbed when the consultant assured her that nothing bad will happen to her husband.
“Yesterday, Saturday September 18, 2021, Dr Obadiah was transfered to Gwagwalada. on arrival, the name of the doctor that was billed to attend to Dr Mailafia was not on duty. Even when an attempt was made by foreign health consultants to save the situation, the doctor on duty got angry and said he was not obligated to listen to any foreign consultants that had been brought into the matter with the sole purpose of ensuring nothing goes wrong.
“Wife of the former CBN Deputy Governor was asked to pay the sum of N600’000 as deposit even when it was a referral case, with accruing medical bill to be settled by the CBN. At a point, Dr Mailafia complained over his breathing problems and pleaded with the doctors to place him in a ventilator. The doctors flatly refused.
Even after the doctors declared Dr. Mailafia dead, foreign consultants who were brought into the matter through Dr Mailafia’s son that is living abroad, had directed a family member who is a medical professional, with the wife of the CBN Deputy Governor, to mount pressure on the chest of Dr. Mailafia for resuscitation and thereafter place him on a life support.
“The doctors in Gwagwalada refused all entreaties by the family members of Dr Mailafia to follow the advice of the foreign consultants, insisting that they have already pronounced him dead. Even when the wife could feel the pulse of her husband, the doctor flatly declared there was nothing they could do since they had already pronounced him dead.
“While the above narration sums up the circumstances under which Dr Mailafia died, we still await the result of the actual cause of his death. As a nationalist and patriot that he was, Dr. Mailafia was completely dedicated to the emancipation of ethnic nationalities from the clutches of oppression. The economist was never afraid to speak truth to power just as he remained committed to the enthronement of justice and equity to all citizens across ethnic and religious divides.
“In the twilight of his life, this consummate technocrat and global scholar of repute beamed his searchlight on the raging insecurity ravaging our country. He expressed regrets over government’s incapacity to rein in the activities of insurgents and criminal groups terrorising the nation.
“As a former presidential candidate in the 2019 poll, Dr Mailafia sought to deploy politics to bring about the dream he had for his country. Even after he lost the election, he never let down the bar in demanding for a fair treatment for all Nigerians.
“The Forum recalls his patriotic zeal in standing up for truth and justice. He was never a letdown in being at the forefront of showing the way for national greatness as he was willing to lay down his life for Nigeria.
“The Forum is inspired by his altruistic disposition and contributions to national development. We remain proud of his footprints on the political, economic and social sands of our nation.
“In this period of grief, we extend our sympathy to his immediate family members and pray to the Almighty God to grant each and everyone of them the fortitude to bear the pain of this irreparable loss.
“The death of Dr Mailafia today represents a dark day for not only only the Middle Belt but also for all citizens who yearn for a new dawn for justice in Nigeria.”
The former Deputy Governor of CBN died Sunday, September 19, 2021.
In a surprise appointment that is bound to reverberate in Imo State, President Muhammadu Buhari has empowered Senator Ifeanyi Ararume. He has appointed him the Chairman of the Board of the just incorporated Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd.
Along with former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha,
Senator Ararume belongs to a faction of the All Progressives Cogress, APC, Imo State, that does not agree with the Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
Members of the faction never took part in the membership registration and revalidation exercise of the party, nor the Congress. They were not also present during President Buhari’s recent visit to Imo State.
It had been taken for granted that they have, on their own, quit the party and looking elsewhere, possibly the PDP, as 2023 approaches.
But Ararume’s high profile appointment puts a question mark on the assumptions, as did Okorocha’s visit to Buhari with his son a few days ago where they took photographs with Mr President.
Buhari also remembered his long time friend, late Senator Chuba Okadigbo, by appointing his wife, Senator Margery Okadigbo as a member of the Board. Just as he emphasised the influence of APC Chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu by including his right hand man, Pius Akinyelure on the Board.
Announcing the commencement of the implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act, PIA, Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina said Buhari has directed that the NNPC be incorporated. Buhari is the Minister of Petroleum Resources.
Adesina: “President Muhammadu Buhari in his capacity as the Minister for Petroleum Resources has directed the incorporation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.
“This is in consonants with Section 53(1) of the Petroleum Industry Act of 2021 which requires the Minister of Petroleum Resources to cause for the incorporation of the NNPC Limited within six months of commencement of the Act in consultation with the Minister of Finance on the nominal shares of the Company.
“The Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mr Mele Kolo Kyari, has therefore been directed to take necessary steps to ensure that the incorporation of the NNPC Limited is consistent with the provisions of PIA 2021.
“Also, by the power vested in him under Section 52 (2) of the PIA 2021, President Buhari has approved the appointment of the Board and Management of the NNPC Limited with effect from the date of incorporation of the Company.
“Chairman of the Board is Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, while Mele Kolo Kyari and Umar I. Aliyu are Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.
“Other Board Members are Dr Tajudeen Umar (North East), Mrs Lami O. Ahmed (North Central), Mallam Mohammed Lawal (North West), Senator Margery Chuba Okadigbo (South-east), Barrister Constance Harry Marshal( South-south), and Chief Pius Akinyelure ( South-west).”
A former executive secretary of the National Universities Commission, (NUC), Prof Peter Okebukola, has flayed proliferation of satellite campuses by universities in the country.
He said that the use of satellite campuses by Nigerian institutions of higher learning was one of factors responsible for the production of incompetent graduates.
Okebukola stated this at the convocation lecture he delivered at the Elizade University, Ilara Mokin.
The event was part of the activities marking the fourth and fifth convocation ceremonies of the university.
The lecture was titled, ‘Does Nigeria’s development cap fit the Nigerian university system?’
Prof Okebukola pointed out that ‘The major reason some of our graduates turn out to be half-baked is, number one, the severe financial handicap inflicted, especially on the state-owned universities.
“In an attempt to meet their financial needs, especially for salaries, these universities literally sell their certificates through running poorly-delivered courses in poorly-resourced campuses affiliated to other private or public institutions far from the main campuses.
“The double-speak of the governors in the states which own the universities is seen in the severe cut in subvention and the directive not to charge tuition beyond a ridiculously low rate.
“To make up for the shortfall in revenue, the authorities of these universities end up admitting all manner of persons into programmes in satellite or affiliate campuses, in large numbers.”
“Add the poor delivery of the curriculum at such campuses and what we end up with is graduates who are even less than half-baked.
“These are the persons giving the products of the Nigerian university system a bad name. The other factor, of course, is an interruption to the academic calendar brought about by endless cycles of strikes.”
President Muhammadu Buhari departs Abuja Sunday for New York, United States of America, to participate in the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76).
This was disclosed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media, Mr Femi Adesina, in Abuja.
The statement explained that “The session opened on Tuesday, September 14.
The theme for this year’s UNGA is, “Building Resilience Through Hope – To Recover from COVID-19, Rebuild Sustainably, Respond to the Needs of the Planet, Respect the Rights of People and Revitalize the United Nations.”
“President Buhari will address the Assembly during the General Debates on Friday, September 24 when he will speak on the theme of the conference and other global issues.
“In the course of the Assembly, the Nigerian leader and members of the delegation will partake in other significant meetings such as; The High Level Meeting to Commemorate The Twentieth Anniversary of the Adoption of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action on the theme “Reparations, Racial Justice and Equality for People of African Descent.”
“The delegation will also participate in Food Systems Summit; High Level Dialogue on Energy; and The High Level Plenary Meeting to commemorate and promote the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
“The President will also hold bilateral meetings with a number of other leaders of delegations and heads of International Development organisations.
“He will be accompanied to New York by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN); and Minister of State for Environment, Sharon Ikeazor.
“Also on the President’s delegation are: National Security Adviser, Maj-Gen. Babagana Monguno (retd); Director-General, National Intelligence Agency, Amb. Ahmed Rufai Abubakar; Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on SDGs, Mrs Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.
“President Buhari is expected back in the country on Sunday, September 26.”
Meanwhile, protests by Nigerians, especially, agitators for the Yoruba Nation are expected to welcome him at the UN.
An environmentalist, Mr. Kolade Omoyeni, has raised the alarm over the possiblity of some communities in Ilaje area of Ondo state being washed away or submerged if the current trend of ocean surge persists.
He has, therefore, called for immediate intervention in flooded areas especially, Aiyetoro Community in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State.
According to him, the estwhile socialist community might be washed off as a result of incessant ocean surge if Government at all levels and other relevant authorities delayed in rescuing the community.
Mr Omoyeni said in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday in Akure, the Ondo State capital, that flooding had destroyed the architectural and economic bouyancy of the community, ascribing it to oil exploration activities of oil companies in adjoining communities.
Lamenting the level of destruction of the community, Omoyeni said: “The oil companies carry out exploration in the communities surrounding Aiyetoro without acceeding to international standard practice
“They carry out their exploration activities without recourse to global environmental protection laws.
“This is the same inhuman attitudes of the multinational companies in the whole of the Niger Delta.
“Black soots are threatening the existence of most oil communities from Bayelsa and Ondo, while the Petroleum Industrial Act (PIA) cares very little (even in theory) about the continuous reckless damaging of the riverine areas and lands.
“The economy of the host communities in Niger Delta region are lamed by the crude activities of the oil companies.”
He appealed to environmetalists, governments and the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC) and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to save Aiyetoro community from being sunk by incessant ocean surge by ensuring the immediate implementation of abandoned intervention projects awarded for same purpose.
Mr Omoyeni warned that if the community is neglected to be washed away by ocean surge, several communities in Ilaje Local Government Area would suffer the same fate.
Academic, Scholar, Economist, Newspaper Columnist, Politician, unrepentant critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari regime, former Deputy Governor of the Central Dr Obadiah Mailafia is dead.
He died aged 64.
Disbelief and shock are the reactions.
He reportedly died at the National Hospital, Abuja.
Dr Mailafia, the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, during the 2019 General Elections talked himself into national consciousness and running battle with Security Agents when, in a television interview, he accused an unnamed Northern Governor and some Politicians from the North of sponsoring Boko Haram.
He claimed to have been told by repentant insurgents, but taken to task, he buckled and said he heard from traders in a market. The controversy cost him his job at NIPSS, Kuru. From then on, he never relented in bemoaning the state of insecurity in the country.
A weekly Columnist with Vanguard Newspapers, it is not clear yet what caused his sudden death.
The people and Government of Anambra State have received with sadness the news of the death two days ago of Chief Abdulaziz Chivuzor Ude, the internationally renowned publisher, intellectual, art lover, pan Africanist, entrepreneur and philanthropist from Abor, Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State who played a significant part in modern Igbo history. He died in Lagos in his late 80s, and was buried in his hometown in the afternoon yesterday in line with the Islamic injunction.
Christened Bertrand at an early age and became the first senior prefect of the College of Immaculate Conception (CIC), Enugu, Ude attended Oxford University where he read philosophy, economics and politics before proceeding to Columbia University in New York where he took a master’s degree in international relations. Ude caught public attention when, while working as an editor at Random House in New York, the world’s biggest book publishing firm, he published Chinua Achebe’s classic, Things Fall Apart, in the United States during the Nigerian Civil War of 1967-70.
He was to strike a lifelong relationship with Achebe, and made handsome contributions to Achebe’s Okike: A Journal of New African Writing, established in 1971 at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Ude also struck a lifelong relationship in the late 1960s with such Anambra indigenes as Dr Chuba Okadigbo, then an academic in Washington, DC. He worked closely with Dr Okadigbo when the latter was appointed the Special Political Adviser to President Shehu Shagari from 1979 to 1983. When Okadigbo founded Platform, an analytical news magazine, based in Lagos, Chief Ude stood with him all the way, making critical financial interventions.
There were many persons of Anambra State origin in top management of his enterprises like Gordon and Georgi Umunna who worked on Financial Post. His friendship with the hugely popular musician, Chief Oliver Akanite from Nnewi South Local Government Area popularly known as Oliver de Coque, was such that the entertainer waxed an album dedicated to Chief Ude which turned out to be a national bestseller.
Unknown to most people because of his self-effacing nature, Chief Ude contributed significantly to the creation of Anambra, Enugu, Delta and Ebonyi states. Apart from being one of the signatories to the petition for the creation of these states to the Ibrahim Babangida military regime, he donated not just cash but also his private jet to transport the Igbo patriots like Dr Alex Ekwueme, Chike Edozie, Dr Akanu Ibiam, Chief CC Onoh and Dr Okadigbo to different cities who signed the petition. He also donated part of his building at 59 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, to coordinate the campaign for the creation of Igbo states and paid the staff. The then traditional ruler of Enugwu Ukwu, Igwe Osita Agwuna, one of Nigeria’s foremost nationalists, was to confer a high title on him for services to the Igbo world.
Ude’s Nok book publishing firm in Enugu, New York, London and Lagos, published such outstanding works as Chinweizu’s The West and the Rest of Us and Romanus Egudu’s Study of Four West Africans. Ude, in addition, financed Eddie Iroh’s Chic, the London-based colourful social magazine. He was, indeed, a pan Africanist of the finest hue.
An active member of The African Business Round Table for several years, Ude awarded scholarships to hundreds of people to study in top universities in the world and assisted many others in different fields quietly. For example, he was a major promoter of the exhibitions of Aka: The Circle of exhibiting artists like Professor Obiora Udechukwu, Professor Chike Aniakor, Tayo Adenaike, Dr Obiora Anidi, Nsikak Essien, Bona Ezeudu and Boniface Okafor.
Ever humble, he practised egalitarianism in truth and spirit. He never discriminated against the less privileged or those who did not share his religious views. Even after converting to Islam, a result of his deep friendship with founding Guinean President Sekou Toure, a pan Africanist in his own right, Ude remained a big contributor to the welfare of priests and the church in his community.
The Government and people of Anambra State truly mourn the transition of this great Igboman, pan Africanist, publisher and intellectual. We mourn with the Ude family of Abor and the people and government of Enugu State. May Abdulaziz Ude’s noble soul find rest in paradise.
Adinuba is the Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment, Anambra State
The cold war between the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and Governor of Osun state, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola is continuing unabated as their loyalists continue to trade accusations and blames.
Attempts had been made to broker peace between the two political gladiators especially by the leader of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) in the state, Chief Bisi Akande all to no avail.
Ogbeni Aregbesola, a former Governor of the state, handed over the baton to Mr Oyetola, while Chief Akande served as the first civilian Governor of the state.
The latest firework is coming from a former Commissioner under Aregbesola, who accused him and his loyalists of not saying the truth about the present administration.
The former Finance Commissioner, Mr. Bola Oyebamiji, who is also serving in that capacity under Governor Oyetola, said in a statement in Osogbo at the weekend that some loyalists of the Minister have been dishing out lies against the present administration, with a view to misleading the people.
The statement reads: “My attention has been drawn to a viral video being circulated on the social media by the former Commissioner for Home Affairs, Mr. Sikiru Ayedun, who by his unsubstantiated claims, could mislead the public through misrepresentation of facts on the state of refund by the Federal Government to the Osun State Government on all the federal roads constructed by the previous administration and the Osun debt portfolio management by the present administration.
“In setting the records straight, it is important to emphatically and explicitly state that such claims, as presented in the video under reference, is capable of creating disharmony, strife, and bad blood within the progressive family.
“The claim that the sum of N48billion has been received by the Oyetola-led administration as a refund on federal roads constructed within the state is untrue.
Adegboyega Oyetola
“The total contract sum of all federal road projects embarked upon by the Osun State Government, as approved by the Federal Ministry of Works, is N38billion. It is therefore against logic that the sum of N48bn will be paid by the FG for projects whose total contract sum equals N38bn.
“The projects in question, as at November, 2018, on the average, was less than 35% completion.
“Available records show that the Osun State Government awarded the 29km Gbongan – Akoda dualization project in 2013 for N29bn while the 40km Osogbo – Ikirun – Ila Odo Kwara boundary was awarded for N17.5bn in the same year, making both projects to amount to N46.5bn as proposed by Osun State Government.
“However, after due diligence and thorough assessment by the FG Public Procurement Agency, the contract sum was reviewed downward thus: Gbongan – Akoda road at N23bn, and Osogbo – Ila Odo road at N15bn respectively to carry the approved award contract sum of N38bn for all the ongoing FG roads under construction. This review was duly communicated to the Osun State Government.
“As at November 2018, the contractor handling Gbongan – Akoda road project had received a total sum of N10.2bn, out of which 3.5km of the 29km stretched road have been completed including the Gbongan Interchange and the project was at 29% completion. “The contractor handling the Osogbo – Ila Odo road collected a total sum of N9.2bn, with 49% completion rate; the implication is that the Osun State Government had paid both contractors the sum of N19.4bn as at November 2018.
“Similarly, the total refund by the FG to the state as today, in three tranches, stood at N11.9bn based on the project delivered by both contractors.
“It is imperative to state that the FG refund of N11.9bn has been judiciously utilized and plowed back into four (4) inherited road projects embarked upon by the previous administration contrary to the unsubstantiated claims by Mr. Ayedun that the refund is being used to pay full salaries to civil servants in the state.
“As at today, Gbongan – Akoda road project is at 36% completion stage, with 8.6km asphalted on both sides of the road.
“Also, the Osogbo – Ila odo project which was at 49% in November 2018 is now at 55% completion, Oba Adesoji Aderemi road which was equally inherited at 65% completion is at 74% now and Ilesa – Iperindo – Ipetu Ijesa road project rose from 40% to 66% completion stage.
“It is also instructive to note that since the advent of Oyetola administration, an additional 60km of the road had been reconstructed and fully completed, with another 10 township roads presently under construction; these are expected to be completed before the end of 2021 including the Iconic Olaiya flyover.
“While we refrain from joining issues with anyone, the State Government of Osun under the leadership of Gov. Gboyega Oyetola has expended over N150bn on prompt payment of full salaries and pensions.
“It is a fact that Osun State remains one of the few states paying the minimum wage of N30,000 in spite of our precarious and highly geared financial situation.
“This is in fulfillment of the pact he made with Osun citizens when he assumed office in 2018. Whereas it is true that both the state’s N30bn and N11.4bn Sukuk bonds have been fully repaid, the current government has paid over N67bn as loan repayment during its 33months of administration in the State without borrowing a kobo to date.
“The ingenuity and doggedness of Governor Gboyega Oyetola, has ensured a significant reduction in the total debt portfolio of Osun State.
“However, in spite of this unprecedented boldness in public financial management, Osun remains the third (3rd) most indebted state among the 36 states of Nigeria. This can be verified from the website of the Debt Management Office.
“Without sounding like a broken record, let me reaffirm that Governor Gboyega Oyetola will continue to deploy his over 3 decades of managerial experience as a risk manager, a welfarist and financial guru to move the economy of the state towards the prosperity of the larger percentage of Osun citizens.
“Finally, I urge all well-meaning Osun citizens both politician and otherwise, to endeavour to verify all information before publication and dissemination. This will ensure a peaceful and healthy political atmosphere for all and sundry.
“The State Government of Osun under Governor Gboyega Oyetola hereby reiterates her commitment to providing a secure, financially viable, and peaceful environment so Osun may continue to thrive.
“I want to implore us as all political leaders and Omoluabis (virtuous people) to support Mr. Governor in his quest for a greater Osun.”
