I Don’t Have Any Bickering With Gov Aregbesola – K-Rad

A governorship aspirant under the platform of the All Progressive Congress APC in next year’s governorship election in Osun State , Mr Kunle Rasheed Adegoke has described arguments that a particular zone should produce the next governor as unrealistic.

He said this at the NUJ Press Center in Osogbo during a media chat organised by the Osun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.

Adegoke who is popularly known as K-RAD said there is no point limiting the contest to a particular zone and that such restriction is baseless and not in tandem with principles of democracy.

“This argument that the position of the governor of Osun State should go to a particular zone in the state is baseless and there is no point in it. My zone has not produced a governor since the creation of Osun State and zoning sentiment could favour me but notwithstanding, I believe that I’m eminently qualified to be the next governor of Osun State and I won’t rely on the issue of zoning.

Adegoke also debunked insinuations that there was dispute between him and the incumbent governor of the state, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, saying that he might have disagreed with some of the governor’s policies, there is still cordial relationship between them.

His words: “There is no clash between Governor Rauf Aregbesola and me. I may disagree with some of the things he has done. If anyone says Aregbesola has not made mistakes, such person is not fair to him. The truth is that he did well and performed excellently but he has made certain mistakes. I will correct those mistakes when I become governor. We remain good friends.”

Adegoke also cleared the air on the controversy surrounding the suspension of the National legal adviser of the All Progressive Congress, Dr Muiz Banire.

He explained that Banire was at the forefront to ensure that things are done appropriately urging members to the party to imbibe the culture of respect for due process and rule of law.

K-RAD said his plan to be the next governor of Osun State was informed by his genuine intention to serve the people of the state and facilitate rapid development to the state through his programmes that would be unveiled soon.
