He made the commendation while featuring on an OSBC special radio programme tagged ” APC Ati Idagbasoke Ipinle Osun” on Thursday, January 25.

Oloyede,  who is also contesting as the parliamentarian in the Saturday January 27 local government election said he was interested to contest the poll so as to be able to complete his developmental projects,  which he has started in the local government.

While rating the performance of Governor Aregbesola in the last seven years, Oloyede said the giant strides of Aregbesola’s administration are testimonies to what government represents and real ideal of democracy.

He noted that the developmental achievements of Aregbesola in the state has strengthened his confidence  that the candidates from the All Progressive Congress APC would definitely emerge victorious in the coming local government election.

Oloyede said : “It is noteworthy to say that our own Governor Rauf Aregbesola has successfully en-rooted the spirit of service to humanity in all in the state and this would help boost our chances to win in the Saturday local government election

“Aregbesola has realistically and unequivocally turned around the economic fortunes of Osun through his commitment to human and capital development.

“Aside being the architect of unusual government, his administration in no small measure contributed significantly at turning Osun to infrastructural domain among states in Nigeria.

“Talking about security, Aregbesola has done tremendously well in terms of security, construction of the state-of-the-art schools, construction of roads across the nooks and crannies of the state just to mention but a few.

“We are proud to have Aregbesola as our governor because his emergence has brought accolades, encomiums and pride to our dear state through his people-oriented policies and programmes that have impacted tremendously in the lives of all.

“It is on record that Aregbesola’s administration has witnessed plethora of changes in all sectors particularly on his commitment to development as well as his courage to rescue Osun people from poverty to prosperity, darkness to light and grass to grace.

“Aregbesola’s administration has made what seems impossible possible. His government has brought unusualism to governance and this has made Osun to be the cynosure of transformation, developments and socioeconomic model.‎

“It is not an hyperbole that in Osun today, there is no sector that has not felt his impact. There is no town, community, family and household throughout the state that has not benefited in one way or the other from Aregbesola’s pro-masses policies.‎

“These among others have been the traits with which millions of us have imbibed from his wealth of progressive politics and political ideology and ideals as he (Aregbesola) remains a true leader with no equivalence.

“As for me, “to whom much is given, much is expected”, then, all his visions required a rallied-point support from all and sundry particularly to APC governments in the state and the country at large”, he resorted.

The council boss expressed confidence in the ability of the APC government to take the country to enviable point unprecedentedly,  saying “our party is the only political party that can guarantee meaning and sustainable development as we have been doing”.

Itemising some of his administration’s interventions on assumption of office, Oloyede said he has democratilized good governance to the grassroots.

“Our administration has renovated Oke La Health Centre, purchased and distributed health facilities to all the health centres in Erin Osun.

In a bid to complement the effort of the government in ensuring environmental cleanness, Oloyede said no fewer than three refuse dumping sites have been cleared.

“We have embarked on massive road g‎rading as this gesture cut across the nooks and crannies of communities and streets just as we have the construction of phase 1 of permanent site of council Secretariat.

“We also collaborated with NYSC on free medical test and treatment for Erin Osun residents and its adjoining communities while we have been doing our best to improve on welfare package for Community Development Council (CDC) of serving corps members in the district.

“We have not been found wanting on the regular payment of arrears of casual workers allowances as this doesn’t in anyway affect other commitments”, he stressed.

All the aforementioned achievements have made people of my ward and entire local government to ask me to re-contest for the post.” He concluded

Oloyede therefore charged the people of his local government to come out en mases and cast their vote for  APC, just as he charged them to be law abiding before, during and after the election.
