Osun: Bishop Hits Followers Of Oyetola, Aregbesola

The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ijesha North, Rt. Revd Dr Isaac Oluyamo, has called on factions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State to stop creating a crisis between Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, his predecessor in office.

The Bishop said that, since the governor has come out to say that there is no rift between him and the former governor, who is now the Minister of Interior, members of the party should bury their hatchets and join hands with the two leaders to help the state grow.

Bishop Oluyamo spoke on the relationship between Governor Oyetola and Aregbesola at Ijebu-Jesa, headquarters of Oriade Local Government in Osun State, during a chat with newsmen shortly after officiating at a special birthday thanksgiving service in honour of Professor Theophilus Taiwo Olowokure, who clocked 92 recently.

The prelate, who commended Governor Oyetola for the prompt payment of salaries of workers and pensions of retirees in the state, also applauded him for painstakingly ensuring that Osun continues to grow through the provision of infrastructures across the state.

“I don’t know why some people within the ruling All Progressives Congress in Osun are unnecessarily creating a crisis where there is none. They should all come together to join hands with the governor to continue the good work he is doing.

Bishop Says Aregbesola, Oyetola Not Quarelling

“He has come out to say that there is no rift between him and Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, his predecessor in office. So, factions within the party should just stop whatever they are trying to do and give the governor the full support he needs to work for the progress of our state.

“As you can see, Governor Oyetola is someone, who is determined to drive the development of this state forward; and he is doing a good job so far. The prompt payment of salaries of civil servants is highly commendable. If he is not paying it, people like us will talk. Now that he is doing it, we should also commend him” the bishop stated in rebuking supporters of Aregbesola and Oyetola that are on edge.

While enjoining President Buhari to immediately end the security institution in the budget.

“The issue of security around the country needs to be handled seriously. There is the need to completely put an end to the Boko Haram terrorism. The issue of kidnapping should also be swiftly handled if we want true development for the country. No meaningful development can take place in an environment that is not safe.”
