The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, told Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola on Tuesday that he is welcome in the state and may visit the Government House at any time. Despite their party differences, Adeleke emphasized that Osun remains a home for every progressive, especially Aregbesola, who previously served as the state’s governor.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Ilesa Passport Front Office and Production Centre, Adeleke assured the minister of his commitment to build on his predecessor’s legacies and to complete projects initiated by the former governor. “Mr. Minister, this is your state; nobody can chase you away. You are welcome anytime, even at the Government House. When I finish the structures I am currently working on there, I will personally invite you to commission them,” he said. “No matter your party, if you are progressive and serve the people’s wishes, you have my support. When you were governor, you loved the people and they loved you. Many of the projects you left were abandoned for years. I promised the electorate during my campaign that I would continue those projects, and that is what I am doing.”
Aregbesola responded by commending the governor for attending the event without an official invitation. “I am very grateful for your presence, Governor Ademola Adeleke. Without a personal call, you chose to honour us with your physical presence and that of everyone in the Governor’s office,” he said.
