Thousand of residents of Osogbo, the Osun state capital showed admiration for their governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola over the weekend as he led them in a fitness and health walk as part of activities lined up by his committee of friends to mark his 60th birthday celebrations.

The exercise tagged “Walk to live” had been a major highlight of the
administration particularly during his first term.

The walk which is aimed at promoting healthy living among the people and as well creating a high sense of unity and productivity among the people of Osun was organised by friends and associate for the governor.

Turnout for the solidarity walk was impressive as the state capital stood at a standstill as people trooped out to be a part of event.
