Oyetola’s achievements unbeatable – Akeredolu

The Chairman of the Southwest Governors’ Forum and Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, on Thursday said the achievements already recorded by Gov. Gboyega Oyetola in Osun State are unbeatable.

He noted that the Osun State Governor has proven his commitment to his people by judiciously utilising the limited resources available to the state.

Akeredolu spoke in Osogbo, the Osun state capital, during the commissioning of the iconic Flyover at Olaiya Intersection.

The flyover, which was built by Oyetola, was commissioned by Akeredolu on the invitation of the Osun State Governor.

The Ondo State Governor was accompanied by some members of the State Executive Council, led by the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu.

He described Osun Governor as a reliable ally and performer, adding that he has served well and made sacrifices for the people of Osun.

Akeredolu hailed Oyetola for insisting on discharging the mandate given to him by the people of Osun state.

He commended Oyetola’s tenacity in ensuring that rectitude remains the guiding principle of governance in the State under his watch.

The Governor, who stressed that Gov. Oyetola has discharged the trust reposed in him creditably, said posterity will remember him for the significant strides taken in governance amidst the myriad of challenges confronted.

“I recognise the crucial role which infrastructural development plays in the affairs of a society.

“It is said that living in an environment will be stress free if the necessary socio-economic amenities are emplaced.

“The improvement on the quality of infrastructure in a society affects, positively, the living conditions of the people. They are the direct beneficiaries of projects such as this very important one we are commissioning today.”

“You have proven that with the limited resources, you cared so much about your people. Anybody can say anything, but for us who are close to Osun State, we know you have done wonderfully well.

“I can beat my chest and say that nobody can beat your record. As you are struggling to get this mandate back, the record you have put down is there. We know the number of roads you have done. We know the Health Centers you have worked on. Congratulate yourself, you have done well,” Akeredolu said.

Akeredolu, who thanked the Osun State Governor for the invitation to commission the Iconic Flyover, described the gesture as an honour.

Responding, Gov. Oyetola thanked Governor Akeredolu for the love he always shows him and his administration.

He described Akeredolu as the commander of the Southwest Governors who have earned the forum’s respect.

“I’m most grateful for the love you have always shown to me. The love has always been demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt. What is important for us is to serve, whether it is appreciated or not,” Gov. Oyetola said.
