Aregbesola denies rift with Osun gov, Oyetola

The immediate past Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, has urged idle people to find other useful engagement instead of peddling rumours of non-existing rift between him and his successor, Gboyega Oyetola.

He dispelled rumours of any frosty relationship between him and Oyetola, urging citizens in the state to disregard any information to that effect.

Aregbesola, who made the remark after his 62nd birthday lecture held in his honour in Osogbo at the weekend, said the present government was as a result of the uncommon and unwavered commitment of his resolve to ensure the entrenchment of good governance in Osun State.

“The current government was as a result of our unfettered commitment, result and effort. We cannot but continue to pray for the progress of what we laboured and strived for.

“Oyetola is my senior brother who is senior to me in all ramifications. He has achieved a lot in his personal life before having a stint at all in government. So, there’s nothing meaningful in me having any issue with him. Let the detractors know that there can only be peace within us and the state,” he said.
