Aregbesola Accuses current Administration of Betraying Progressive Ideals of Awolowo, Bola Ige

– Former Osun State Governor and ex-Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on Thursday criticised the current federal administration, declaring that it has “betrayed the ideals of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Bola Ige, and our other progressive forebears.”


Mr Aregbesola, the current National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, (ADC), made the remarks during a well-attended reception organised for him in Ikire, headquarters of Irewole Local Government Area and part of the Ayedaade/Irewole/Isokan Federal Constituency.


Speaking to a large crowd of supporters, the former governor said residents of the three local government areas that make up the federal constituency turned out in massive numbers to welcome him and his team, signalling what he described as a growing desire for change.


“It is time to restore a people-friendly government and return the progressive forces to power,” Mr Aregbesola declared, in an apparent call for a return to what he considers the authentic progressive tradition, ideals in Yoruba politics.


The ex-governor, who served as Osun governor from 2010 to 2018, also expressed gratitude to the Akire of Ikire, Oba Olatunde Falabi Lambeloye III, and his council of chiefs for the warm reception and royal blessings bestowed on what he called “our new political journey.”

Accusations and counter-accusations!

Political talk!

baba Kabiru Hafusalarii dey Wail anyhow

Afusa is talking

When he had the civil service in half salary he didn't know this

Rubbish statement simply because he's no longer eating the national cake

Baba KABIRU Hafusalarii is a definition of hypocrite,

See who is talking about betrayal…

Aregbesola will soon join APC.

Lolz, Aregbe so na half salary be baba Awolowo legacy?

Go sit down Internally Displaced Politician.

He is very correct on this. Those set were different in leadership and life style. The ones there now claiming Awoist are pure political bandits. Grab and share to themselves and cronies.

Obedient and ipob will soon turn him to their hero.

Watch and see

Tinubu is no democrat and knows nothing about progressive and democratic ideals.


He is no Awoist, not even an omoluabi.
He is a notorious drug bárón, a cértificate-forgér, an idéntity thiéf, and a buccaneering power-grabber engaged in criminal state capture.

elder1002:
For decades, the *forefathers of other tribes planted one poisonous seed:*

*“Don’t trust an Igbo man… an Igbo man will sell Nigeria.”*

But look around today

*Who owns the oil wells?*
*Who controls the military hierarchy?*
*Who dominates the political circle?*
*Who decides the allocation of national wealth?*

It is not the Igbo man.

The same people who warned the nation to *“fear the Igbo”* are the ones *harvesting Nigeria’s resources* like a private estate, keeping millions in poverty while *preaching unity on national TV.*

Meanwhile, the Igbo man the one they claimed would *“sell the country”* is the one *building businesses,* *industries, markets, and jobs from nothing.*

*The one who rises without federal power,*

*survives without government support,* and *thrives without national appointments.*

Here is the tragedy:

The biggest “mistake” an Igbo man made was not *Biafra…*
was not *politics…*
was not *commerce…*

It was simply *being born in Nigeria* a country where the system is already beating him *1–0* before the *match even starts.*

In *65 years of independence,* the *Igbo have ruled Nigeria for barely six months*

yet they *carry the weight of suspicion* as if they ruled for sixty years.

They are policed the hardest.
*Judged the fastest.*
*Suspected the quickest.*
*Punished the easiest.*

Because the truth is bitter:

*Nigeria does not fear the Igbo man because he is a threat*

Nigeria fears him because he *succeeds without permission.*

And any *system that cannot control you…*
will always try to silence you.

*“When a people are denied power but blamed for a nation’s failures, injustice becomes tradition and equality becomes a myth.”*

think about what you just wrote again, because the last time I checked, few individuals from all ethnicities share the nations resources among themselves, our issues are not Yoruba or Igbo but individuals for all ethnicities living large on the wealth of all, this narrative you wrote is not actually what is playing out

Did you know then, or you are just realising now too? 😏

Greedy ungrateful man. You were with Tinubu since 1999, commissioner, governor and minister. What happened overnight? Because you were left out of the government right?

Baba Half Salary

Can you tell us what it means to be a democrat, Awoist ?

Another disgruntled full time politician.
Former Internal Affairs minister that performed woefully.

Everything is politics to some people.

Someone is dead, instead of praying for his soul, you are politicizing it.

That's foolishness.

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Read widely about what it means to be a democrat, and study your history to understand the progressive ideals of Awolowo.

Baba Waidi, continue the work of Oromiyan.

You too,you were not a progressive. You were nothing but a fake awoist.

The last set of true Awoists were Bola Ige,Lateef Jakande,Olabisi onabanjo,Adekunle Ajasin,the very cerebral Ambrose Alli. Those were the last set of true Awoists

Not the fake ones parading themselves since 1999 in the SW

Baba KABIRU Hafusalarii is a definition of hypocrite,

is Tinubu not an hypocrite for removing thesame fuel subsidy he abused Jonathan's govt against ?

Aregbesola should go and meet Obi in LP.

Bunch of ne'er do wells .... Anytime they leave power, that is when they realize that the GOVT in power are not working.

Umu Anuman!!!

Accusations and counter-accusations!

This man is a shameless man. He is not ashamed of himself. He mentioned Awolowo and Ige. This is a man that has never won any election in Osun State. While he was installed as Osun State Governor by Osun State Kingmakers he could not deliver Ijesa Land to AC and APC . The IJESA particularly ESA-OKE the hometown of Bola IGE rejected him and voted for PDP.

Aregbesola, despite being an Indigene of Ilesa cannot win a local government election at Ilesa. Senator Fadahunsi , Omoworare and others controlled IJESA Politics while he is just a Spectator. IJESA are diehard Awolowo / Bola IGE followers but under Aregbesola Watch they rejected him and followed PDP .
