Traditional chiefs of Osogbo in Osun State have said Governor Rauf Aregbesola deserves a second term because of the infrastructural projects embarked upon by his administration.
Speaking at the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, on Sunday, the high chiefs noted particularly that Osogbo, had witnessed tremendous development.
The second-in-command to the Ataoja, Chief Gabriel Oparanti, who is the Ajagunna of Osogbo, said no administration in the state had touched the lives of citizens as the Aregbesola administration has done.
He said, “We notice that since the creation of Osun State in 1991, the state remained largely and sadly underdeveloped until the emergence of the government of ORauf Aregbesola in November 2010.
“The passion, vision and tireless energy with which the governor has been executing his six-point integral programme is gradually turning Osun into a modern, progressive and economically viable state.”
The Ajagunna commended the quality of roads, drainage channels and schools being constructed by the state government even as he hailed the construction of modern markets and distribution of computer tablets to secondary school students.
