The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, has promised 100 per cent support for Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s second term ambition.
Sijuwade made the promise when the governor paid a courtesy visit to him in Ile-Ife on Tuesday as part of his campaign tour.
The royal father said he decided to support Aregbesola because of the projects executed by his administration in Ile-Ife and the state in less than three years.
The monarch added that there had not been a governor who demonstrated as much love for the people of Ife as Aregbesola had done.
Sijuwade stated that Aregbesola merited the second term in office because of the lofty achievements of his administration never experienced in the history of Ifeland and Osun as a whole.
Meanwhile, Senator Babajide Omoworare (APC-Osun East), urged the people of Ife and Osun as a whole, to support the governor’s bid.
Omoworare said allowing Aregbesola to rule the state again would enable him to complete all the projects he embarked upon.
He said the second term of Aregbesola, if allowed to materialise, would mean more dividends of democracy for the people.
Acting Chairman, All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Mr Adelowo Adebiyi, appealed to the people of the state to “hearken to the voice of wisdom from Oba Sijuwade.”
Adebiyi added that the endorsement of Aregbesola for a second term in office by Ooni meant that the traditional institution in the state had appreciated the development projects executed by his administration.
Aregbesola said the achievements of his administration included implementation of the six- point Integral Action plan.
