And who installed Aregbesola?
You guys think Osun people are stupid... Just wait for 2023.

I know this is still like a dream but by 2023 by God's grace, it would be abundantly clear

Aregbesola was one of the best Governors in Nigeria until he derailed. By the way, let me educate you: despite derailing and missing the mark, he was miles and miles an upgrade over his PDP predecessor in office.

When you say 2023 will surprise me? I’m keen to know what you’re talking about! Are you suggesting because PDP won Osun (with a margin of 40,000), just a month after it came a distant 3rd in Ekiti, means surprise in 2023?

My friend, I’m not a baby political analyst. Also, I don’t get carried away with all these social media babyish excitements that bear no relevance on the streets.

Even before the Osun election, I correctly predicted it’d be tough for the incumbent because the Adeleke family are very much loved in Osun. In addition, the Governor has been very prudent, refusing to share Osun money around. People seemed not to like that and prefer the free-giving Adeleke, believing there’ll be stomach infrastructure to go round when he gets to office.

I’m compiling a list of all those postulating about a certain shock in 2023. Write it down, there’ll be no shock. The only shock will be social media champions will start crying rigging when they realise the real people on ground have shown the virtual people who’s real.

A lady (osun civil servant) came to Abuja to see her husband last week, same thing she said, Oyetola pay salary when due in fact she hurriedly traveled back to Osun state on Friday in order to caste her vote.

Omoboricash:

Thank you sir/ma. You have said it all.
If you ask xivil servant, if their salary are been paid. They all say yes.
He's not owing pensioners.
I just pity osogbo people especially, i hope and pray they will not regret this action.
Indeed Oyetola is a prudent and visionary leader.
We dont value what we have.It is a pity.
We shall be here after four years of Adeleke to also examine his administration. All the best to Osun State

I live in Ede, Osun State, Oyetola has been the best Governor Osun State has gotten soo far.

One of his offences was that he's a very quite man, he doesn't talk too much.

seunmsg:
Oyetola is a very brilliant guy but he was designed to fail as a governor by Rauf Aregbesola. Unfortunately, Nigerians are very ignorant of what the issues are so they tend to make the wrong political decisions at every election cycle.

Oyetola’s major offense was not executing big contracts and sharing money like Rauf did. Some, especially Osogbo people also hated him for fighting Rauf. But truth be told, what’s in Rauf’s legacy that should be continued? Crazy debt? Crazy religious policies? Crazy educational policies? None payment of salaries? What exactly?

The governor inherited a crippling debt portfolio from Rauf. The state’s monthly allocation was not even enough to meet the servicing of the debt left by Aregbesola not to talk of paying salaries and executing contracts. Still, he managed to keep the state together.

He had two choices as governor, take more crazy loans that the state can’t payback in the next 100 years or cut down on government projects and prioritize payment of salaries, repayment of loan and execution of only emergency projects. He choose the second option and got punished for it.

People, including political contractors simply wanted huge contracts to be awarded everywhere without caring about where the money would come from. They wanted a governor who would come to Osogbo round about and stand on the roof of his car and share money. Oyetola refused all these and they hated him.

I sincerely wish Ademola Adeleke well but I’m eagerly waiting to see what he will do differently considering the huge debt portfolio of the state.

Who's got the time for court?
We don report am to God already.
While Tinubu awaits his judgement he must be told the truth-We are not his slaves.

emerged01:

Hate him if you like,pray that he fail if you like. As far as Nigeria is concern Tinubu's will always ring bell. Is there no court to charge if he is guilty of any crime?

Tolexander:
While we kept on shouting about the debt profile of Osun under Aregbesola and the bad policies he was introducing to wreck the economy of the state which will decimate the next 30 administration, you guys were shutting us down, cos of party and party interest.

When the election was about to be held in 2018. I said I would prefer APC to win, so that they can be smeared by the shît left behind by Aregbesola.

If Adeleke or Omisore had won the election in 2018 and been limited and incapacitated by the stupidity Aregbesola exercised during his administration, would you have said this truth you just posted.

I love Oyetola and never expected he could pull the stunt he pulled despite inheriting debt and bad policies. I wish he had come after Bisi Akande or Olagunsoye Oyinlola, he would have been our best Governor.

Thank you Gov Oyetola. Though you lost this election, you shall remain in the good book of history.

Thank you for this informed comment that is miles away from hatred inspired empty comments from illiterates on this forum. Believe me, there are many of them here.

As a resident of osogbo in Osun state, I know that everything contained in your comment is a fact. It is rather painful that the idi*t who caused the socio economic problems in the state actually connived with opposition to unseat a person that did his best in clearing the mess he created. A very unfortunate situation.

During polling, APC agents directed voters to vote PDP. I have never witnessed such anti party activities. It was like APC was in opposition and vice versa. In all this, Osun state is the loser.

Oyetola was a victim of circumstance, people vented the anger of non performance of the Government at the center on him, coupled with their love for Adeleke whose erstwhile vote was hijacked. Osun people were resolute in their desire, Ekiti people were not.

Chinjo2:
Let him go to Tonubo to appoint him as the sole contractor to supply Nigera soldiers with Corn, Cassava and Agbado

Agbado is a yoruba name of corn

GeneralPula:
Wow, I honestly didn’t know he did well up to this extent..

He didn’t borrow money yet he was able to pay salaries & manage the state so well..

Make Osun people dey pray because Pdp no dey take eye see treasury..

funny guy

ERockson:
When I listened to my brother/a civil servant in Osun State about one of the reasons for wanting Oyetola out of power. "That he has performed well in his first term and they believe he's coming in the second term to deal with them or perform less. That he refused to pay numbers/years of halves salaries Aregbe was owing, though he pays full as at when due. The man is a very good man I swell to gods.

Maybe the Tinubu factor caused him to lose.

True
Delta state with the whole oil and revenue they are number 2 on the least poor state yet they have be bewildered with bad leaders from Ibori, Uduagahan, Okowa. Aside Warri, Sapele, Asaba and Agbor the remaining places in the state are not develop at all.

dalongjnr:

I wish Adeleke well but he will surely fail if he's not resolute with financial decisions.

Adeleke get bills like mad. He needs to settle those men immediately he takes over.

So, Osun people may need to excercise patience for now.

Forget epistle ore.. The question is simple. Who installed Aregbesola?

Abi na like this you dey answer simple question?

That's why Nigerians will Take Back Nigeria from you people next year.

All APC is good at is justifying their gross failure.

Life under the hated PDP was like heaven compared to what it has become under you pack of failures.

The President claimed that Nigeria is better today than when he came in.

APC- Bunch of Devils from Top to Bottom

Let APC return to opposition. That is where you belong.

UrPapa:
Even as a senator, he did nothing, he was only known as the dancing senator. The adeleke man will probably be a flop but I’m hoping he proves me wrong

You people should fear God. I'm from Osun West (Iwo). What Sen. Ademola Adeleke did in two years is better than what the APC man (Sen. Lere Oriolowo) has done. You guys will just be saying rubbish because you hate him.
Oyetola that you guys are praising, was he not one of most important cabinet members of Aregbe's administration?

Oyetola had his merits, no doubt. But his jinx came from basically 2 factors :
He belonged and was sponsored by a political party that has courted public ire, and the internal wrangling in the party did not help him.

Secondly, like Osinbajo, Buhari seem to be indifferent about APC's luck this time around... He had removed the battery of the monumental "remote control" and I guess it's not far from his secret disdain for a Tinubu.

tollyboy5:

Tinubu factor made oyetola loose the election.

And he's not going to be the best governor so far and in the future.

Nigerians are sending a message to APC Yoruba faction.

Lagos treasury has suffered enough, we're waiting here with our PVC.

I see you guys rejoicing because of Funke Akindele. Just wait for another shocker.

It's not about the campaign or tribal and religious sentiment you guys back on. It's about the poeples choice.

the bolded are the main reasons oyetola lost , whatever stupid things aregbe did , he did under the cover and platform of apc , same also buhari and therefore people are just tired of apc . they feel they need some fresh air . ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO MIRACLE ADELEKE CAN PERFORM .

God bless you for this, Rilwan. I watched the debate and was like “this governor, talk for God’s sake”. He was too quiet and did not effectively reel out his administration’s achievements.

Osun people once removed Akande and got Oyinlola instead. They regretted it. They’ll regret this one also.

Oyetola should be preparing for 2022 (if Jesus tarries). It happened in Ekiti and I see him taking over a state that would have then become a joke and heavily indebted under the Dancing Senator.

Nigerians always play to the gallery, no objectivity, that's why they always suffer. So many here won't even look at the figures you put up there, their own is to follow the crowd like zombie

Crowd mentality is real, especially among people with low iq.

Op no mind them, let them continue to wallow in mediocrity.

While Oyetola may be a good governor for us in Osun, it would simply be insulting the sensibilities of others by assuming no one could outperform him as a governor in a state that boasts of over 5million adults.

It is ok that you ended by wishing Adeleke well.

For the people, may Adeleke's era be prosperous.

FreeStuffsNG:
Hmmm. The numbers speak for him.

He was raising IGR ,

reducing inherited debt ,

not taking on new loans

yet paying salaries and

building mega projects.

This is brilliant!Oyetola is a Genius! Another Genius discovered and raised up by Asiwaju Tinubu.

This is posterity staring people in the face. Well done HE Oyetola.

He is not flamboyant at all and hardly do you see him in public glare. He was just minding his business and building a legacy of great service. He will be taken to the centre when Asiwaju Tinubu becomes the President.

Meanwhile, if you want free business ideas and directory of money sources, please check my signature. Cheers.

You are writing in NONSENSE. Oyetola conceded LAUTECH to Oyo state billions of naira was paid to him. The federal government gave him 11b for federal roads done my aregbe even the Omipidan confirmed it of raffm on two occasions, osun is now making billions of naira of gold mining every month without no significant improvement in the life of osun people. He hijacked allocation of local government even local government chairman can't paint his office without going to osogbo to beg governor for money. No single meaningful project in over 3 years.. he will down as the worst governor in the history of osun state. You think Osun people are fool we just dey look before we push you people to the canal

nairavsdollars:
You are one of his appointees. Sorry about loss of job

THIS ONE PAIN ME I SWEAR.WHAY A TECHNICAL KNOCKOUT

If only States are allowed to control their resources, things might be different....

Sen. Adeleke should talk less and get people who are versatile on economic matters to study the current profile of the State and advise him on the way forward. All the talk about money being taken to Lagos holds no water. A study of the history of the State shows the growth of the debt burden and slower rate of growth of the IGR.

lets wait and see

I am from Osun state. I celebrate his fall for one cogent reason- he purposefully extorted job seekers, wasted their time and resources on interview that would not count.

Norwichsailor:

An average SS person has no business with tinubu really, his sphere of influence doesn't include us so wetin be our own, if we attack him it's just politics, but Igbos hmm, their hate for him especially on this app is personal

My brother, I dislike that Tinubu pass anyone on this earth. I just don't like thieves, nothing more. Every election I have organized to topple him in Lagos governance openly in protests and marches at Lekki toll gate at election time. I contributed to Jimi Agbaje every election cycle. Right now I am on my knees praying for him to be digraced in this election because I want Yorubas to break up Nigeria. Minorities cannot break Nigeria, it will take one of the majors and Igbos are not serious about Biafra with that fraudulent map. Only the Yorubas posses the capacity and incentive to break Nigeria. Niger delta want a federation of their own but are too fragmented into many nations to take on Nigeria and so has the incentive but no capacity, yet.

With all of these, I don't hate anybody. Not Yoruba, not Igbo, not even Fulani. Everyone is simply acting out their interest the way they think is best for them no matter how misguided. As much as I dislike Tinubu, I wish him good health, long life and wisdom. That is what the Igbo psyche cannot do. Igbo hate Yoruba for their superior culture, language, geography and heritage. I too have problems with Yorubas, no one is perfect, but I have never thought of Lagos as "no man's land". Minorities and even Fulanis don't think that way. Only the Igbos say Lagos is no man's land only so to desecrate Yoruba heritage.

South South is lucky that One Nigeria did not develop Niger Delta ports. That should wait until after the breakup of Nigeria as it will only bring massive aggressive Igbo populations to its doorstep to dilute and pollute local cultural dynamics just as they currently lay siege on Port Harcourt.

Self_determination is the only and the ultimate solution to Nigeria's problem. Territorial nomadic Fulanis and territorial nomadic landlocked Igbos fear freedom for the rest of us. Peter Obi is a gaslighting Igbo project that they want to fool the unsuspecting into believing he is a savior, just like until recently Nnamdi Kanu (I once contributed to that idiot before I saw my village on his Biafrauud map).

No need to apologise.I understand your exuberance
However, one simple way to know a mature person is that they don't use a shovel of words to explain a spoonful of ideas.
Being verbose doesn't make you intelligent

Finally,
Only a fool answers a question he wasn't asked.

In case you missed the question. The question was:
Who installed Aregbesola ?

Best governor my foot. He did a few safe or good things bt not enough to be called best governor. There was no development or attraction of foreign investments. This good have helped the economy.

Osun has so much potential bt not harnessed. Oyetola is like every other average governor just that he played safe , manage debts while paying taxes to lagos state.

1. Rauf was indeed a huge failure but what did his APC and government do? They rewarded him with Federal appointment.

2. Oyetola may have done well (under the circumstance) in his 4 yrs but its cheap, way too cheap for you or anyone to assert that Osun People endorsed his opponent because he was 'not wasteful' . this is glaring considering the following

a. The two major candidates squared went through the same contest in 2018, how did it go? are unaware that the people of Osun voted hugely for Adeleke in that election to the extent Oyetola couldn't find his bearing until the stage-managed rerun?

b. Would it shock you to know that Oyetola is considered by many in Osun to be a product and extension of the dismal performance of Raul ? It is perceived in such quarters that the same external forces that brought in Rauf (Dismal performance governor) are one and the same rooting for Oyetola and the people thus are determined to change things?

3. How come try to lampoon Oshogbo people for Oyetola's failure when Adeleke won in 17 out of 30 states? How did Adeleke get some votes in Ife LGAs to the extent of winning one of the LGAs?

4. With the unresolved intraparty conflict the bedeviled Osun APC prior to the election how could anyone have expected a fantastic outing for Oyetola?


Let me state that considering the dismal performance of APC National government, every APC aspirant need to do more to sell himself to the people if winning the election is desired

RepoMan007:

Same kind of situation Buhari has put his successor in. The debt will inspire a similar blame of past govt by the next govt and Nigerians will be forced to revolt because the hardship will be so much that they will not want to wait until the next election to execute a change in direction of affairs.

Our case as a country is very sad.

This is exactly what I was telling someone this morning. I just pity the next president. He go see wieeeeeeen...... Lol

The Youth, especially should tell us what went wrong and from your analysis,we have a long way to go, especially since the dancing Senator was loved and popular,as if that alone will bring socour to the Osun People,so be it.
But so far, there is nothing the Senator has put on ground or displayed during the TV Debates, to show that he can do better of course,time will tell!
So, people are still asking - where did Govnr Oyetola missed it?
