Returning Oyetola to office is for benefit of all — Osun LGSC Chair

By Ismail Azeez, Osogbo

Osun State Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has been described as a divine gift to the entire people of the State, whose second coming would be a monumental blessing to all and sundry.

This assertion was made by the Chairman of the State Local Government Service Commission, Elder Tunde Adedeji during a media chat over the weekend.

Adedeji posited that the ease of Governor Oyetola’s accomplishments, within the last four years is an harbinger of the divine support that he enjoys.

While reflecting on the magnitude of challenges met on ground by the Governor, including that of humongous debt, Elder Adedeji asserted that they were such that could scare a feeble mind.

He, however, observed that the Governor was adequately prepared for the task by the trio of his divine support, exposure in the private sector as well as his eight years in the saddle as the Chief of Staff to the immediate past Governor.

Adjudging Governor Oyetola as an astute manager of finances, Elder Adedeji lauded him for “being able to grapple with payment of full salaries and offsetting debts without compromising infrastructural development.”

He further added, “The fact that Mr. Governor has covenanted with his God to continue to pay workers’ full salaries has revived the State economy which was in comatose during the half salary regime in a predominantly civil service State.

“Mr. Governor has done so well, I’m sure Osun people are not so daft as to discountenance the impact of his administration. He has effectively laid a good foundation for progressive development. We have got to move forward by allowing him to run his full term so  that whoever will be succeeding him will not be able to reverse the gear,” Elder Adedeji concluded.
