The governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has said it would
amount to failure of unimaginable proportion if his government had
failed in his first term to demonstrate that good governance, even in
the face of meager resources, is possible.
Aregbesola said he went into governance in Osun fully conscious of
the challenges of poor leadership the state had faced and fully
determined to change the course of affairs and bring about unprecedented
changes in the lives of the people.
The governor spoke at the Manchester Business School, University of
Manchester at the weekend, after being presented with an award of
recognition for his administration’s commitment to job creations and
infrastructure provision.
Represented at the event by the Director, Bureau of Communications
and Strategy, Office of the Governor, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, Aregbesola
said, “If we were looking for a comfort zone, contesting for the seat of
governorship of Osun would certainly not be an option. But we were
quite conscious of the enormous challenges facing our people and we were
poised to change that.
“We knew there were no resources even though the state is sitting on
some vast opportunities which remained untapped. Our people needed the
right quality of leadership to galvanise them into action and make them
see the opportunities,” he said.
