Timi Of Ede Hails Aregbeshola, Scores Him Higher Than His Predecessors

The Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal, has urged the people of Osun to continue to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun for the legacy of Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s government in infrastructure development to continue in the state.

The monarch who described Aregbesola’s performance as outstanding said no governor in the history of the state has surpassed the achievements of the governor since the creation of the state.

The royal father stated this in his palace while receiving the governor and his team as part of the goodwill visit of the party to the people of Ede federal constituency which comprises Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore and Ejigbo Local Governments.

Commending governor Aregbesola on his achievements in the last seven and half years, the monarch said it is impossible for anyone to insinuate that the governor has not raised the bar of governance in Osun as the state has continued to witness unprecedented development in all aspects of the economy.

The Timi prayed for victory for the APC in the coming gubernatorial elections, stating that continuity remains the only way to sustain the transformational programmes of the Aregbesola government.

According to him, “I want to use this medium to congratulate our governor on his achievements in the state in the last seven and half years, whether you like it or not, one cannot say that Aregbesola has not done well in Osun.

“Ede land has truly benefited from this administration’s intervention in making life better for the masses, you cannot satisfy everybody but truth must be told, the present government has tried for us in Osun.

“Anytime I travel to the Gbongan axis of the state and I see the dual carriage way under construction, especially the Adebisi Akande interchange bridge, I always say to my driver that Aregbesola should be praised for developing Osun.

“When I pass through the East Bypass road, I always marvel and say to myself that this is indeed wonderful because I never imagined our state could be transformed like this in my life time. We are indeed very grateful to God for transforming the state through you”, Timi stated.

The Governor, while addressing party faithful, emphasised that he has enjoyed a cordial relationship with the Timi of Ede. He held that what has been paramount to him, well meaning Ede indigenes and the monarch is the development of the town and Osun at large.?

Governor Aregbesola charged APC members to begin door-to-door, awareness and sensitisation campaign on the need for the people in the state to ensure victory for the party at the forthcoming governorship election.?

He urged APC members to hold firmly to the principles of internal democracy and the party’s guidelines by eschewing anything capable of weakening the party in the state.

The governor said, “We have received the blessings of Timi before coming here, with what we saw at the palace, there will be nothing stopping us from winning, Baba has attested to the fact that we have done well and he has given us his blessing.

“Never again should we allow a government that will be stealing our resources and leaving the populace to wallow in abject poverty to come to power. They have been at the helm of affairs of this state before and they have practically demonstrated to us how bad leadership can make the state to be underdeveloped.

“Standing by the party, irrespective of the candidate, is the only way that we can ensure the continuation of good roads, improved health facilities and all other infrastructural development our administration has brought to the state”. The governor told the gathering.
