Aregbesola credits political success to Buhari, Tinubu
Former Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has credited President Bola Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari for the accomplishments in his political career.
During his homecoming reception in Osun State, where he paid homage to Oba (Dr.) Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran, the Owa Obokun of Ijesaland, Aregbesola acknowledged that the support of the two leaders played a pivotal role in his success.
He expressed heartfelt appreciation to his family, friends, colleagues, and associates for their unwavering support throughout his journey as commissioner, governor and minister.
Aregbesola took the opportunity to highlight several interventions and projects he brought to Ijesaland during his tenure as minister.
“We thank God for how far he has brought me.
“Again, I must thank President Muhammadu Buhari for counting me worthy to be made a minister and also President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for counting me worthy to be a commissioner in Lagos. Because from there, God continued to uplift me to where I’m today.
“If you recall, when I left government in November 2018, I came here to pay homage and thanked God for a successful tenure.
“After my tour of duty as Minister in Abuja, I felt it was proper for me again to come and pay homage as a worthy son of Ijesaland.
“Some of the projects God used us to achieve and facilitate to Ijesaland are the Fire Service Zonal Training School, 3,000 capacity custodial centre under construction, Passport front office, Regional passport production centre, Covid-19 crisis intervention fund Hospital, Ilesa and the National Institute of Domestic Security.
“The institute is a research and training centre for all paramilitary agencies in Nigeria and all over Africa,” Aregbesola.
Oba Aromolaran commended Aregbesola as a commendable representative of the Ijesa community, reminiscing about the multitude of projects and achievements accomplished while Aregbesola served as minister and governor of Osun State.
The monarch extended his prayers for Aregbesola’s future endeavors and for divine blessings to accompany him on his path.
