IBA RALLY  (3)

IBA RALLY  (3)The Governor of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has commended the people of Ife-North Local Government of the State for their massive support and vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 28 elections which culminated in the victory of the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari.‎

In a statement by the Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, the governor was quoted as speaking during his commendation visit and shoring of supports for the House Assembly candidates of the APC in the state in the area.

It was in continuation of the governor and his party’s efforts to ensure a repeat of the massive vote for the APC in the presidential poll on March 28.

The campaign team criss-crossed towns like; Ipetumodu, Edun-Abon, Okuuomoni, Famia, Onibambu, Oyere-Aborisade, Modakeke, among other notable towns in Ife-North local government of the state.

He described their love for APC as unprecedented stressing that the area is known as pro-Obafemi Awolowo even in the face of frustration, political molestation, assault and monetary inducements.

He held that the people of the areas have written their names in gold in the political history of the State, adding that their rare passions and supports to his administration can never be forgotten.

The governor frowned at the way and manner in which PDP and its loyalists went about inducing people with money and other items before, during and after the elections, describing such act as barbaric to modern democratic principle and values.

According to him, ” I want to use this occasion to congratulate all of us on the success of our party, the APC at the last presidential and National assembly elections. We thank God that the change we have been waiting for has come.

“I also want to commend and thank you for the way you trooped out for the March 28 elections which gave victory to General Muhammadu Buhari and our representatives to the National Assembly.

“Our people should be commended for standing tall despite the intimidation and the inducement of the PDP before and during the elections. Our people are wise, some of us collected their Dollars and still did not vote for them, while majority rejected them with their Dollars.

“We must come out en-mass on April 11 to vote for our candidates to the House of Assembly like we did during the presidential election, a vote for APC on Saturday will be a vote for stability and continuity in Osun.

“You must all ensure that you vote all our candidates, by doing so, you are voting for more positive transformation of the state and the continued development of infrastructure the state has been witnessing in the past four years”. The governor told the gathering at the campaign ground.

Aregbesola pledged to fulfill all his electioneering campaign promises to the people of the areas as soon as the earning of the states improves.

Earlier in their separate remarks, the Apetumodu of Ipetumodu, Oba James Adedokun, the Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Francis Olatunji Adedoyin, Olomoni of Okuuomoni, Oba Taiwo Odedoyin congratulated the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari and other APC candidates for their victories at the polls.

The traditional rulers pledged their royal support at all times for the APC government and that the council will do everything to lift the development of the state and that of Nigeria.

The monarchs equally hailed the people of the State most especially in Ife-North for their peaceful conduct during the March 28 elections, urging them to replicate such manner in the fort-coming election.

Free Train 2014 Xmas-3

Free Train 2014 Xmas-3The Governor of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on Sunday said the Easter season offers Nigerians especially Christians a good opportunity to pray for the take-off of a new beginning that would usher in prosperity in all facets of national life.

The governor also charged the Osun people to embrace love and peace and make the necessary sacrifice towards the development of the country.

The governor, in his Easter message to Nigerians which was signed by the Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Office of the Governor, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, urged Nigerians to use the occasion to pray for the President-elect, Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, to bring the positive change to Nigeria.

Aregbesola stated that what the country needs at this time are various intercessory prayers for God to continuously stabilise the country.

He charged Christians and people of other faith to supplicate to assist the in-coming administration on the critical areas of needs in the country such as insecurity, hunger, unemployment, decayed infrastructure, corruption which had all held Nigeria down.

According to him, “Nigerians are tired of mere promises, they want concrete actions. They want to see in practical terms that government is committed to fighting insecurity and restoring the country to its past glory. This is what the APC government is committed to and so, Nigerians should pray successes in these areas.

“The season therefore offers us all the opportunity to pray for a proper take-off of that new beginning for our country to regain her lost glory.

“Events of the past few years, particularly the spate of insecurity in the land, leave much to be desired. I want to call on Christians and every Nigerian to pray for leaders of the nation, because Easter celebration should be used to renew love for one another”.

……as Osun monarch congratulates colleagues who rejected “Dollar” inducement

The Governor of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has on Monday said the Victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and that of Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari at the just concluded presidential election should be ascribed to God and not any single individual.

Aregbesola in a statement by the Director Bureau of Communication and Strategy Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, was quoted as speaking when a group of royal fathers paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Osogbo the state capital.

‎The royal fathers of Osun commended some of the monarchs who refused to be tempted by the alleged last minute distribution of foreign currencies by the ruling party to sway votes for its candidate.

The group of traditional rulers was led by the Akinrun of Ikirun, Oba Abdul Rauf Adedeji to the Government House to congratulate Aregbesola and offer prayers on the victory of APC and it’s candidate at the last Presidential election.

Aregbesola stated that no man on earth should ascribe the success and the outcome of the election to himself, but all praises to the Lord who in His infinite mercies granted Nigeria a peaceful election.

He noted that there is nothing new that the Progressives have done this time that is better than what the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and the acclaimed winner of the 1993 presidential election did.

According to him, “sixty-three years ago, politicians who were of the view of a political climate that will give life abundantly to the people did all they could but they were unable to achieve their desire. Despite all their struggle and the will to give a better leadership could not make it to the presidency.

“After the first attempt by Obafemi Awolowo and others came the advent of Moshood Abiola when Nigerian voted and he won but never become the president of the country. Here we are today, the victory is still looking to me as a dream. All the glory ‎must be given to the Lord”.

The governor commended the doggedness and the fighting spirit of Asiwaju Bola Hammed Tinubu and the former governor of Osun, Chief Bisi Akande at ensuring that the Yoruba get their votes for a central government for the first time in 63 years.

He also congratulated governors of APC, both serving‎ and former saying after God, APC leaders in all the states of the federation and party faithful deserves commendation.

Aregbesola charged traditional rulers in Yorubaland to take seriously the development of their areas, noting that God has endowed them with the power to make sure that they at all time seek the development of their God’s given domains.

He said, ” I am particularly happy that the Yoruba is no longer in the opposition. This is the first time in 63 years that this is happening in the history of Nigeria.

“No Yoruba born or alive in this dispensation should not be happy. It is the first time that Yoruba will have a government that the majority of the people wanted. I will only pray that God will make this government have impact on our region.

“I charge all of us in the South-West and Nigerians alike to make sure that we get it right this time”. The governor told the Monarchs.

Speaking earlier, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abul-Rasheed Olabomi congratulated Osun indigenes and Nigerians on the victory of APC and Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and prayed that the much awaited change will come to people in no distant time.

The Monarch who spoke on behalf of all the Monarchs also congratulated their colleagues who refused to be induced by the “hard currencies” distributed to some by the ruling party before the elections.

He expressed delight that the prediction of Chief Obafemi Awolowo that Nigeria will be better of when the finest of the Progressives of the Northern part of Nigeria come together with the Yoruba has come to fulfilment.

“This is the first time in the history of our Nation where the general wish of the Yoruba will come to pass in terms of selecting for Nigeria. I want to use this opportunity to say a big congratulation to the Yorubaland”.

The royal fathers in attendance included: Olobu of Ilobu, Oba Asiru Olatoye Olaniyan, Akinrun of Ikirun, Oba AbdulRauf Adedeji, Elerin of Erin-Osun, Oba Yusuf Omoloye, Olunisa of Inisa, Oba Oladunjoye Oyedele and Olokuku of Okuku, Oba Abioye Oyebode.

Others are, Oloyan of Oyan, Oba Kilani Adekeye, Obajio of Moore Ile-Ife, Oba Yaya Olugbaju, Onirun of Okeirun, Oba Isaac Adetoyi Adetunlurese, Eleko Ende of Eko-Ende, Oba Rauf Adebayo and Oloosi of Osi. Oba Solomon Ademakinwa among others.
