Youths in Iragbiji, Boripe local government area of Osun State have expressed support in favour of the leadership of former Governor of Osun State and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola.
The president of Iragbiji Youths Association, Adekunle Oyediran and Public Relations Officer, Adesina Babatunde during a press briefing on Sunday in Iragbiji cautioned against misinformation being spread against the former Governor.

We urge all members to remain calm and steadfast in their support for a man whose contributions to our community have been significant and impactful.
“During his tenure as Governor, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola demonstrated his commitment to our people by ensuring the inclusion of Iragbiji indigenes in his cabinets and as aides in various agencies. The rehabilitation of township roads within our community stands as a testament to his dedication to our infrastructure development.
“Furthermore, we applaud his efforts in facilitating SDGs projects for Iragbiji land, showcasing his commitment to sustainable development. Notably, the appointments and projects reflect his vision for an inclusive and prosperous Iragbiji.
“In his current role as the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola has continued to prioritize the welfare of Iragbiji youths. Over 20 youths have secured employment opportunities in Nimasa, NPA, and Nigeria Shippers Council under his leadership, and we are confident that he will continue to create more avenues for our youths to thrive.
“We appeal to all Iragbiji youths to remain calm and resilient, standing firm against any attempt by detractors to sow seeds of discord. Let us not be swayed by misinformation, for Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola is a man with a heart of gold, deeply invested in the well-being of our community.
“Lastly, we acknowledge the road construction from Osogbo to Kelebe to Iragbiji, a project that has faced challenges in the past. We commend Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola for his commitment to completing this vital infrastructure, rectifying the misuse of funds by an iragbiji son during his time as a senator.”
