OSUN
State governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday, said the emergence of
President Muhammadu Buhari saved the nation from heading to the
precipice, alleging that the immediate past administration of former
President Goodluck Jonathan almost brought Nigeria to its knees.
Aregbesola, who disclosed this in Osogbo, at a forum, Osun Stakeholders’ Conference, organised by Osun Legislators’ Forum, an umbrella body for lawmakers in the House of Representatives, Senate and state House of Assembly, traced the financial crises bedeviling the states of the federation to the bad leadership of the immediate past government.
He maintained that the stakeholders’ conference, which is the brainchild of the Osun federal legislature, indicated the high level of commitment of our representatives to the issue of this state.
According to Aregbesola, “how we got to this financial crisis is unknown to a lot of people, it is only the wise who may have a flash of understanding of what actually went wrong. It is this similar crisis that we are also battling with in this state as other states are also experiencing.
“This forum gives us opportunity to study in depth, how this situation came about and for us to find a lasting solution to the crisis, so that our state will move forward.”
While tasking the participants, drawn from civil service, formal and informal sector, including artisans, businessmen, socio-cultural groups and others, to use the occasion to open up on their grievances, the governor noted that misconceptions and other ill-informed opinions about his government were misplaced.
In his contribution, former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, said “this state is a brand that will outlast any government, whether its performance is good or bad.”
He posited that Osun had a perpetual succession, irrespective of the performance of any government in power either before or now, stressing that the summit was right on target, with a view to evolving a survival strategies within the context of national economic crisis.
Commenting on the potential benefits of the conference, one of the organisers, a member representing Iwo, Isokan and Olaoluwa federal constituency, Honourable Gafaru Amere, expressed hope that the outcome of the conference would be fully implemented to change the face of the state.
