The Interior Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, was informed by the Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, on Tuesday that he is welcome to visit the Government House at any time and is welcome in the state.
He declared that regardless of political disagreements, he would make sure that Osun remained the home of every progressive, including Argebesola, a former state Governor.
Speaking at the opening of the Ilesa Passport Front Office and Production Center, Adeleke gave the minister his word that he would continue the ex-governor’s legacy-building efforts and finish some of the projects he had started.
The governor said, “Mr. Minister, I am assuring you that this is your state, nobody can chase you away. This is your state, you are welcome anytime. Even, you can come around to the government house. When I complete all of the structures I am currently working on at the government house, I will personally invite you to commission them.
“No matter the party you are, if you are progressive in as much as you are doing what the people want. When he was governor, he loved the people and the people loved him. All the projects Ogbeni left were abandoned for years. I promised the people during my campaign that I am going to continue the projects. That is what I am doing.”
Reacting, Aregbesola commended the governor for attending the event even without official invitation.
“I am very grateful for your presence Governor Ademola Adeleke. Without making a personal call to him, he chose to honour us with his physical presence and that of everybody in the Governor’s office,” Aregbesola said.
