Wonders, they say, shall never end. I read the story with the above headline in the Punch Newspaper and on another platform. After reading the story, I knew their target was Governor Adegboyega Oyetola. But I love the ‘ignore them’ attitude of Mr. Governor. He doesn’t give room for distractions. That’s the stuff of a man that is focused and determined to deliver on his goals and mission.
The new group that was hurriedly put together to call for the probe is being chaired by one Alhaji Azeez Adesiji, the immediate-past Osun State Vice-chairman of the APC who defected to the ADP and came back into the APC with Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, former SSG not quite long ago.
Adesiji, as we all know is a known apologist of former governor Rauf Aregbesola, who has for reasons known to him, refused to accept the fact that he’s no longer in charge of the State. The Secretary of the body is Aregbesola’s staff at Oranmiyan House and the subject of the story, Teju, who is the son of Wosilat, the deceased immediate elder sister of Rauf Aregbesola.
These elements are only trying to create an issue where there is none, which is the stock-in-trade of Aregbesola. I believe that they are trying to draw Oyetola and his team out for a needless intellectual warfare. Otherwise, in the scheme of things in Osun, who is Teju? A non-entity who shouldn’t be dignified for whatever it is worth.
Only the blind and the deaf will not see and hear about the landmark achievements of Oyetola in the Health, Education, Commerce and industry, Agriculture, Culture and Tourism and the Mining sectors. The mere fact that Oyetola is fixing roads, paying salaries and pensions as and when due, thereby changing the negative narratives that almost cost our party the election in 2018, is already endearing the party to the people in the State again.
I strongly believe that these renegades trying to cause trouble at all cost within the party will not succeed. If indeed they are serious, they should channel their petition to the Police.
Oyetola, please, continue to ignore them. Let the Police do their job.
