Ahead of the September 22 governorship election in Osun state, governor Rauf Aregbesola and the All Progressive Congress (APC) on Monday began town Hall meetings in all nine Federal constituencies across the state.

The meetings scheduled to hold between April 23 and May 7, 2018, kick started from Sijuade Memorial Hall, Enuwa, Ile-Ife, in Osun East Senatorial district.

Speaking, the state party chairman, Prince Adegboyega Famoodun said the town hall meeting became necessary because of the need to show appreciation to members of the party who has stood by the governor and the party in the past seven and half years of developing Osun.

He said the party was ready to do more for the people of the state, hence the need to do everything possible to allow APC to continue to rule the state.

Famodun further noted that the programme was conceived to clear all perceived differences within the party and pacify any aggrieved member.

The party chairman explained that necessary mechanism are in place to make the programme a huge success and bring members to an amicable stance.

He however urged the members of the party who might have had one thing or the other bordering them to berry their grievances for the progress of the party.

He said there was the need for them to live in peace and work hard as good ambassadors of this party to sustain and promote the good will of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.

Speaking, Governor Rauf Aregbesola also urged party members and the people of the state to continue to support APC, saying the only way to continue enjoying the dividends of democracy in the state is to vote APC in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.

Aregbesola who described the APC as the light which has come to liberate Osun from backwardness said the party, if re-elected in the state is ready to continue bringing the dividends of democracy to the down trodden in the state.

According to the governor, the current spate of development being experienced in Osun will continue if the ruling All progressives Congress is voted back into power in the forth coming gubernatorial elections in the state.

The Governor who warned the people of the ancient town of the dangers in allowing the People’s Democratic Party back into the saddle of leadership stated that the PDP has never been known for anything good just as he said the party is dead and buried.

He urged the people of Ile-Ife to be cautious and careful so that they will not be deceived into making the mistake of allowing the current spate of development of the state by the APC come to end as the PDP are all out to deceive people once again.

According to Aregbesola, “the only party that can guarantee the current spate of development we are witnessing in Osun is the All Progressives Congress and we must ensure that we do everything humanly possible to ensure that we come out victortious in the coming polls.

“we are the only party that can do it, we have done it before and we are ready to replicate what is going on in Lagos in Osun. The state that has witnessed continuous development in Nigeria since the inception of the current democratic rule in Nigeria is Lagos which has been continually ruled by the APC.

In an address, a representative of the APC elders council, Chief Sooko Adewoyin expressed the happiness of the elders council towards the governor, saying he has done what the elders have asked for in terms of developing the state from where the APC met it about seven and half years ago.

While urging party members to close ranks for the benefit of all, the elder state man said standing by the principles of the party remains the only way Osun can progress, while calling on all to always put the growth of the state first.

“we thank God for the life of our Governor, he has done what we actually want and I want to state here that he is a party man to the core who wants the progress of the party and the state at large.

“we all need to come together for the good of the party and the state and we should always put the state first before our individual desires if we truly are interested in saving our state from the hands of hoodlums who are in the PDP”. He stressed.
