Osun 2018: ‘Welfare of Workers Tops My Priorities’
Apparently dissatisfied with the plight of workers in Osun State, the Chief of Staff to governor Rauf Aregbesola, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola Tuesday declared his commitment to make the welfare of Workers his priority when elected governor of Osun State.
Declaring his intention to succeed his boss on the platform of the All Progressives Congress at a press conference in Osogbo, Oyetola said all programmes and projects embarked by the Aregbesola administration will be reviewed and built upon.
According to him, when elected governor, he would take the welfare of workers in Osun serious adding that his administration will be guided by the experience acquired from the implementation of the bold Six Integral Action Plan of banishing hunger, poverty, unemployment, restore healthy living, promote functional education and enhancement of communal peace and progress.
Oyetola noted that for the past seven and a half years as Chief of Staff to governor Aregbesola, he has dedicated himself to the public service of Osun people in the faithful implementation of the six integral action plan of the present administration.
While debunking the audio of alleged oath taken by some members of Aregbesola’s cabinet to support his aspiration, Oyetola said as a man of God he would never be a party to such a fetish act but wondered how seeking the commitment and allegiance of people to a course could turn out to be oath taking.
On the agitation for zoning of the post of governor to a particular senatorial district, Oyetola who is not from the district said that zoning was not in the constitution of their party and definitely not part of the convention of the party adding that he is widely loved by the people
Oyetola who equally debunked the rumour making the round that he has been endorsed by governor Rauf Aregbesola, said if he had been endorsed by governor Aregbesola he would not be bothering himself working assiduously to get the ticket of his party saying that the governor is being fair to all contestants.
According to him, he has the experience and what it takes to rule the state adding that the six integral action plan of the present administration is a template that can be fine-tuned.
The gubernatorial aspirant said inccuring debt to finance capital projects is inevitable to a government that want to work and impact on the people added that he would go borrowing when elected if there is the need for it.
