Akire, Apomu Reaffirm Support for Oyetola

As the 2022 Osun governorship election draws nearer, traditional rulers in Irewole Federal Constituency of the state have passed a vote of confidence in the administration of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, saying he had successfully delivered on the people’s mandate.

The monarchs comprising the Akire of Ikire, Oba Olatunde Falabi; Alapomu of Apomu, Oba Kayode Adenekan Afolabi and high chiefs in Irewole and Isokan local government areas, also expressed their support towards the actualisation of the re-election of the governor in the July 16 gubernatorial poll.

This is even as Governor Oyetola reaffirmed his determination to continue to build a virile economy and maintain the existing peaceful atmosphere in the state, declaring that “under my watch, Osun will continue to be safe.”

Speaking at his palace yesterday while receiving Oyetola and members of his re-election Campaign Council, Akire of Ikire, Oba Falabi said the governor had performed creditably well, noting that his outstanding achievements were visible across all sectors.

The monarch particularly lauded Oyetola for repositioning and redefining the socioeconomic fortunes of the state through the introduction and implementation of masses-oriented policies and programmes.

He said: “Your campaign here is just to fulfill all righteousness because your track records and monumental strides across sectors are living testimony to earn you a return to office. To us as traditional rulers, you have done excellently well. We have seen your trademark of good governance as reflected in the competent way you’ve been running the affairs of the state.

“There is nothing to say other than for us to continue to pray and support you as a way of reciprocating your good intent for Osun and its people. You have indeed convinced us to continue to support you and we profess loud and clear that you are eminently qualified to steer the affairs of the state for another four years,” Oba Falabi said.
