At a packed stadium, All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday announced the resolution of the progressives to support continuity of good governance.

“There is no going back in the resolve to return President Muhammadu Buhari for another term in office,” the former Lagos State governor said.

It was at the inauguration of Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola and Benedict Olugboyega Alabi as Osun State governor and deputy governor.

The colourful ceremony, attended by many dignitaries and ordinary folks, took place at the Osogbo Township Stadium in the state capital.

Tinubu said Nigerians could not afford to go back to the “scavengers, who personalised governance because of their greed”.

To the APC stalwart, there should be enough of greed and self-serving government that “has held back our progress as a nation”.

He stressed that there was nothing to show for the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in power.

He said the PDP only laid the foundation for “greed” and “selfishness”.

His words: “Nigeria must never be allowed to go back to the corruption, greed and selfishness that have held back our progress. No shaking and no going back to the old foxes, old scavengers and old greed of this country. Look back at their years in government and find out if they laid any good foundation. They didn’t, except the personalisation theory of greed.”

Tinubu, who was elated by the inauguration of the new government in Osun State, congratulated the former governor, Rauf Aregbesola, for handing over power to a progressive administration.

He said: “I congratulate you, Aregbesola, for handing over power to a progressive. Now you have joined me in the club of former governors. You have really done very well. You have run progressive and welfarist programmes. I commend you for your performance in the two terms you have spent as governor.

“You have done very well. Since eight years, which is like yesterday. You earned a progressive mandate and did it for four years and renewed it for another four years. It was a welfarist and progressive programmes now handed over to another progressive governor. Thank you for walking the path and doing a good job.”

Tinubu, who congratulated Oyetola and Alabi, assured them that the administration would be supported by progressives in all parts of Nigeria.

According to him, Oyetola’s emergence as governor is a continuation and testament of APC’s progressive ideology of governance started four years ago by President Buhari.

He urged the new governor to follow the path that will engender progressive development, put smiles on people’s faces and take the country to higher heights.

The former governor said: “We want you to maintain the same path of progress. We are strongly behind you. Ride on, no going back. There is no any other party here in the Southwest.”

President Muhammadu Buhari, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, said the inauguration marked a peaceful transition from one administration to another.

President, who commended the former governor for steering the ship of the state successfully for eight years and handing over power to an APC administration, thanked the people of Osun for conducting themselves peacefully during and after the governorship elections.

Buhari advised politicians in the 2019 general elections to make their campaigns focus on programmes and agenda capable of emancipating the people from hardship.

He called on Oyetola to centre his administration around the welfare of the people of the state, especially women and youths, to make life meaningful to them.

He said: “Public office is a trust. You must rule with a human face and the fear of God. You must ensure that all the ongoing projects are completed.”

He assured the new governor of all the necessary support that would help him succeed.

Buhari also called on Nigerians to vote for the APC in the 2019 general elections.

He urged them to conduct themselves peacefully – in a manner devoid of bitterness and violence, shunning hate speech and violence during the campaigns.

He praised the Aregbesola for bringing “immense developments” to the state in the last eight years.

He assured that the APC-led administration would continue to deliver the democracy dividends to the people.

Among the dignitaries at the event were Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Gen. Alani Aknirinade, Aregbesola’s wife, Sherifat and his former deputy Mrs. Grace Titi Laoye-Tomori.

There were Governors Akinwumi Ambode (Lagos), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).

Former Ogun State Governor Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro and Osun State Chief Judge, Justice Adepele Ojo were there.

Others were the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, former Osun State Governor Chief Bisi Akande, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Olabomi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, the Orangun of Oke-Ila, Oba Dokun Abolarin, former House of Representatives Speaker Patricia Olubunmi Etteh, Osun state speaker of the State House of Assembly, Najeem Salaam, former state speaker, Adejare Bello, APC women leader, Chief Mrs Kemi Nelson, Senator Ayo Fasanmi, Senator Solomon Adeola , former Lagos deputy governor, Femi Pedro, Senator Babajide Omoworare, Senator Sola Adeyeye.

You guys are barbarians. Undemocratic to the point of disgust. Tinubu can work for anyone he wants and folks are free to vote who they want. This is a constitutional right and that is what democracy and free society is about. Learn to accept the true meaning of democracy as this will set you free.

He wants Buhari to continue so that power will return to the South West. Unfortunately, Nigeria doesn’t work like that. We cannot risk another 4 years of economic disaster just to see if power will return to the SW, which I believe it won’t

If Tinubu is doing nothing illegal then why don't you learn to shut up and abide by what democracy entails?
Tinubu is evil because he is not working for your candidate. Abeg, get a life and leave the guy alone.

You can continue with the insult but Tinubu is doing what matters the most in life. I.e getting involved to secure the outcome he wants while you are here impotentently dishing out insult that will not influence or change anything.

Tinubu political career is endings he can not decide anything for us the the Yoruba people

Bruv everything is about free choice. Tinubu does not control your hand or who you thumbprint for. On election day do what you have to do and let others do same as long as you won't come here crying when the democratic vote goes against your camp.

Don't waste your time on them, they think people don't have brains and so must follow other people's selfishness.
An n'je nkan ko tan won gbon owo e s'awo, Buhari till every known and unknown LOOTER give their lives to Christ and do the much needed restitution.
Those who hated Buhari are hating on him because of his fight against corruption, they claimed to be Christian but their lives are in RUINS because of MATERIALISM.
I watched a video of a Nigerian woman who is NOT even ready to work in foreign country, but choose to use her children to steal from white people.
People of such mindset are everywhere, especially from a section of this country, shouting themselves hoarse trying to confuse people, awon werey their sufferings shall be unlimited.

Igbos will come here everyday to insult Tinubu yet they are the group who gave GEJ 99% of their votes while the same Tinubu, rather than insult Igbos, met the SE hate votes at the poll and overcame them to help Buhari become President.

Almost four year later nothing has changed and they have learnt no lessons at all about democracy, the need to build bridges and the importance working for the outcome you want. Instead they remain about insult, bitterness and hate.

They will be shocked when Tinubu delivers the Presidency to the SW in 2023 with measured and pragmatically intelligent Yorubas helping him to achieve this while others restrict themselves to curses, insults and hatred.

Racoon:
Same monumental failure Tinubu is venerating is the one being disbanded by his core CPC members in the core north. If only this power drunk man will realize it before it will be to late for him.

Another show of naivete from those born politically inept. Everyone can claim to be a leader but purist student of politics know Buhari is to CPC, now collapsed into the APC by the way, what Jesus is to Christianity and Prophet Muhammad PBUH is to Islam so go figure what the defection of this so-called CPC leader is worth to the PDP. Nada/zero would be the answer.

The Congress for Progressive Change originated in The Buhari Organization (TBO) formed in 2006 by General Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler of Nigeria, and his associates.[5]

Tinubu did not start supporting Buhari today. U can say whatever u like...

Don't mind them. They are so ignorant of the history that shaped todays reality yet they try to shout louder and more insultingly than others. PMB and Tinubu had begun working together ages ago when Buhari was leader of CPC and Tinubu was head of the ACN.

Tinubu worked harder than any other to create the merger that birthed APC. From day one Tinubu and other had agreed back then it was only PMB who had the clout to defeat PDP. Many years of hard and patient work has led us here today only for those who want to reap where they have not sown to be insulting Tinubu today.

When the man was busy working assiduously to get what he wanted they were busy shouting "GEJ or Nigeria burns". Today the story is the same and they are busy insulting Tinubu and the Yorubas instead of working towards getting the electoral outcome they want.

God forbid bad things.

Hitler killed people all at once. But Buhari is killing Nigerians everyday.

He hasn't killed you yet
