Traditional rulers in Osun State under the umbrella of Osun State Traditional Council of Obas on Thursday lauded the modest achievements recorded by the administration of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola in the last three years.
The monarchs urged the governor not to be distracted by political traducers and detractors whose sole interest is to destabilise his government and cause undue structural division before the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
They reaffirmed their unflinching support and cooperation for his administration which they described as one of the best in the history of the state since its creation.
This was just as the governor declared his intention to run for a second term as part of efforts to consolidate on the good works and appreciable performance of his administration.
The meeting also witnessed different issues raised by the monarch, including culture, tradition, good governance and development of the state.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues at the monthly meeting of the traditional rulers in the state which held at the Conference Hall, Finance Building, State Secretariat, Abere, Osogbo, the chairman of the Osun State Traditional Council of Obas and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, applauded the tremendous achievements the administration had made since its inception.
He reiterated the traditional rulers’ readiness and commitment to give necessary support to the governor towards the actualisation of his dreams.
Ogunwusi described the governor’s visit as first of its kind in the history of the state, noting that the governor’s high sense of modesty, prudence, probity and integrity necessitated their decision to continuously give him all- round support.
He said the governor had performed creditably well to earn the royal blessings and support, saying the traditional rulers were solidly behind him and whatever he decided on.
In his remarks, Oyetola expressed gratitude to the monarchs for their open show of love and affection which he said has been the driven force motivating him to put in his best to governance.
He appealed to the monarchs to continue to pray for him and success of his government, noting that, “your continued prayers have been the secret behind our modest achievements so far.”
