The Governor of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola on Tuesday advised the
Governor of Ekiti, Dr. Ayodele Fayose to face
the reality of the death of Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) as a party.
Aregbesola said while he is not asking the
governor to abandon the opposition PDP
against his wish, he would only advise him
to join hands with a political party that will
give hope to the people of Nigeria.
He also charged the Ekiti State governor to
direct his energy towards bringing human
and physical development to western region
and Nigeria as a whole.
The Governor stated this when his Ekiti
counterpart paid him a courtesy visit at the
Government House in Osogbo.
Governor Fayose, during the visit, had said
that he is in Osun not for any political
reason and that he is not ready to abandon
the PDP for the All Progressives Congress
(APC) but for his belief in the Yoruba race
and her development and unity.
Aregbesola described the visit of Governor
Fayose to Osun as demonstration of
maturity, saying it takes a very matured
human being to know that at the end of
every public office, he will be left with
humanity.
He said, “Osoko has said that he is not going
to leave his party, but the reality today is
that PDP has served its term in Nigeria.
When a horse is dead, it is either you
abandon it or you bury it.
“I want my good friend and brother to know
that PDP has exhausted it’s stay in Nigeria,
it can no longer be revived, let us look at a
political party that will give hope to our
people. Opposition must be for a purpose, I
stand by you on the unity of Yoruba land
and that our leaders not put down in the
country.
“The war is over, we are in a season of
mobilising our people to agriculture and
produce such that we will economically have
the strength to give leadership to the Nation
and Africa. Our energy must be directed at
bringing human and physical development,
we have enough in this region to give
leadership”. Aregbesola stressed.
He assured Fayose that he will stand by him
in his effort to galvanise the people of
South-west for accelerated development.
The Governor who lamented the present
economic situation of the country noted that
there is an invasion on the economy of
Nigeria to the extent that the country is
loosing 75 percent of her income due to oil
glut.
“The country is facing a very serious crises
with the rate at which the crude oil price is
falling. There is an invasion on the economy
to the level that we are loosing 75 percent of
our income which is not good.
“At this point, wise people must have an
alternative to oil which part of it is your visit.
We must use our culture and affinity to form
a bond that can make our people live a
normal life, it is a duty that we owe our
people, States and Nigeria as a whole”.
Speaking earlier, Governor Fayose stated
that against all speculations that he was
coming to Osogbo to ask Aregbesola help
him beg President Muhammadu Buhari, he
was in Osun for the unity of Yoruba race.
He added that the Yoruba race is greater
than any political office hence his belief in
the development of the race.
The governor averred that the visit of the
Ooni of Ife to the 45th coronation of the
Alaafin of Oyo is instructive hence the need
for every Yoruba sons and daughters to see
to the unity and progress of the race.
He said, “This is my first official visit to any
APC state in Nigeria. I am not in Osogbo to
ask Aregbesola to help me beg as being
speculated in some quarters. We are all
Yoruba, politics is like water, it can flow
anywhere.
“I believe in the Yoruba race, the race comes
first before the office of the governor. The
race is eternal while that of governor is
momentary. We must watch today to be
guided by tomorrow. I am here for the unity
of Yoruba as it affect the Oodua, the
progenitor” Fayose emphasised.

Yorubas

We identify with our tribe before nationality or political party. Let's continue to disagree on political ideologies without being disagreeable. It's the recipe for our continued progress as a race. My "sophisticated" pipu

Or it may be a an attempt to nip this in the bud?
