The Aare Musulumi of Iwoland, Alhaji Wahab Sikiru Atanda, has lauded the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for securing the future of Osun State in the last gubernatorial election won by Gboyega Oyetola.
Atanda said Tinubu set the state on a solid pedestal by ensuring continuity with the emergence of the governor-elect.
He said: “Asiwaju is a true leader and he deserves all the commendations for bringing a technocrat to steer the ship of the state in the next four years.
“He (Tinubu) is genuinely interested in development and that he is undoubtedly want in Osun. We appreciate it for the significant role at the gubernatorial elections.
“Now, that the election has been done and dusted, we are sure Osun State is on the path of glory with Oyetola as the new governor and we believe he will be actualiser of all the efforts by the outgoing administration.”
Atanda advised the Peoples Democratic Party to be democratic to concede defeat and join the progressives train.
He said: “I’m a leader and our people have spoken through the ballots.
“They knew who has their love at heart and they resisted the vultures from gaining power in the state.
“Osun is a progressive state, a template is in place and we would ensure it sustenance as we cannot afford to go back to Egypt.
“APC and Oyetola will surely to take us to the promised land.”
Atanda said the people of Osun State would vote massively to ensure President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection in 2019.
He said: “For us in Osun, President Buhari deserves a second time in office.
“He has gently paddled the country even in difficult situations.
“He’s not flamboyant and his scorecards are there for Nigerians to see.
“He is the leader Nigeria needs at this time.
“So, we would ensure he returns in 2019 by God’s grace.”
