THE MODERN ART OF GOVERNANCE AND OGBENI RAUF AREGBESOLA
OF APC
IN THE STATE OF OSUN
It is a popular norm, globally acknowledged and practiced by developed nations, that political parties serve as an avenue where values and qualities are discovered which, when discovered, are fully utilized to nurture the interests of the people and achieve a profitable end for the future of the concerned political entity.
The engine through which these values and qualities, if discovered, could be utilized to better the lot of the society is governance while the oil which lubricates the engine of governance is a capable and competent administrator.
Ogbeni Aregbesola, who is honoured by the Business World Magazine, amongst several others, as the “Most Innovative Governor in Nigeria”, has proven himself as an astute administrator with much diferrence. Armed with his innate spirit of kindness, people’s oriented programmes, and progressive policies, Ogbeni has greatly transformed the old Osun state - where official prodigality, administrative irresponsibility, self enrichment, people’s impoverishment of high level, educational decadence, economic bastardization and ridiculous degree of misgovernance was the order of the day - to the present State of Osun which is being administered by governance of belief rather than incredulity; governance of hope rather than despondency; governance of light rather than darkness; governance of truth rather than mendacity; governance of prudence rather than prodigality; governance of care rather than abandonment; governance of sincerity rather than deceit; governance of decency rather than decadence; governance of egalitarianism rather than god-fatherism; governance of amiability rather than unfriendliness; governance of altruism rather than egoism and; governance of true democracy rather than autocracy.
Through Ogbeni Aregbesola, the good people of the State of Osun have realized that governance means development of the land and the people on it rather than personal enrichment, kill and share tradition or babaric people’s pauperization and enslavement of anachronism.
In allusion to the formidable whirlwind of rejuvenation and thunder of untold overhauling of the Nation’s body polity, laying a befitting legacy for Nigeria and emanating from a almost unexpected quarter, the State of Osun – created a little above 2 decades now -, with an uncommonly honest personality operating behind the curtains and working like Trojan to make the traditional-oriented State, primus inter pares, the great people of the State of Osun ought to be proud of, part of and be ever ready to throw their weight behind this much orchestrated Crusader of Change with whom the Creator has blessed them.
Aregbesola has brought hope to the State and he has restored the lost glory of the State. He has given and practicalized assurance to reshape the present precarious condition of the youths of the State so as to placing them on a more qualified pedestal to assume the mantles of leadership comes tomorrow. He has ensured that governance can again be meaningful to the overwhelming people of the State who had for seven and a half years experienced maladministration, troubles, victimization, underdevelopment and ill-governance.
APC government led by Ogbeni Aregbesola has been working very hard to create, within Nigeria, a State comparable only to the most economically viable, most beautiful and most prosperous State in Europe, Asia, Australia and America combined. Ogbeni, never considered himself as a mere commissioner in Lagos but contributed in no small measures to the overall development and modern embellishment of the “Centre of Excellence” to the bold proud of the Yoruba race. No wonder, this seasoned engineer never hesitated to deem it fit and proper to flag off his electioneering campaigns in Ile Ife, the Cradle of Yoruba, in honour of his race and tradition. This gesture palpably highlights the behaviour of a true born of the race who truly loves his people beyond all artificial distinctions.
Be that as it may, Ogbeni Aregbesola’s unexpected success at crystallizing monumental achievements that have elevated the State of Osun to a pre-eminent pedestal, where no one had, in the past, ever aimed at, has, indeed, made him the best and the greatest among his peers while the State has, consequently, crossed the hurdles of underdevelopment to a developing State. Ogbeni’s painful efforts and tireless sweat culminating into the modern advancement recorded in the State of Osun is enough to encourage the people of this God-chosen State to take pride, be happy, grateful to God and advance continuous support towards this God-sent leader.
It is no longer news that Ogbeni Aregbesola has, in his administrative magnanimity, injected untold transformational changes in the administrative vein of the State. For the sake of brevity, few of these unprecedented advancements are:-
