In his speech the governor said “If I want to contest, I can contest anywhere. If we are genuine and sincere about regional re-arrangement, then why are we concerned about where a man comes from? Rauf can appear when the time comes anywhere in the region,”
Meanwhile the governor debunks reports that the his party All Progressives Congress (APC) Osun state is in disarray over the 2018 governorship election, he also noted that it is God that will determine the person who will succeed him as Osun governor.
