A former Governor of old Oyo State, Dr. Omololu Olunloyo, on Tuesday said it would be impossible for the Peoples Democratic Party to repeat in Osun State the robbery he claimed happened in Ekiti State two weeks ago in the state’s governorship election.
In the election, the incumbent and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was defeated by the candidate of the PDP, Ayo Fayose.
Olunloyo, who spoke in Ede, Osun State on Tuesday during the campaign rally for the reelection of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, said he does not care if his endorsement of Aregbesola would anger the powers that be in Abuja, but that he had studied Aregbesola’s style of governance and adjudged it to be the best.
He said: “The last two weeks, they robbed the APC in Ekiti.
“God will never allow that happen again.
“Secondly, of all the governors, Ogbeni Omoluabi Rauf Aregbesola knows the grassroots politics best.”
Advising other Nigerian governors to learn from Aregbesola’s governance model, Olunloyo said many today drop the name of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to reap political benefits.
The former Oyo State governor said his first discussion with Aregbesola was on the improvement of education.
“Anyone who feeds school children is taking care of education,” he said.
Olunloyo said if care is not taken, the problems of social and economic tension could consume Nigeria.
He said: “There is Boko Haram in the North and there is kidnapping in the South. May the two evils never meet.”
