Following the successful inauguration of Senators Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, as President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Monday, the immediate past Osun Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has urged Nigerians to support the duo in their commitment to take the country to greater heights.

He said the newly inaugurated administration needs the support of all and sundry for the country to prosper.

Oyetola, spoke on Monday, in Abuja at the get-together dinner organised in his honour by his associates to celebrate the national award of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) bestowed on him by immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.

He implored the citizens to remain solidly behind the new administration, saying the season of renewed hope has dawned on Nigeria.

“We thank God for His mercies upon the life of our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It was like a play when the whole thing started, but today, it has become a reality. The success is a sign of our collective support to build a virile nation.

“It is a product of our reliance on God. We all knew what Mr President went through before, during and after the election but against all odds and by the grace of God, he sailed through. The success of today is for all Nigerians, and I want to assure you that Tinubu will perform creditably well.

“We all know his antecedents. We all know what he had done in the past and his capacity and capability to stimulate our economy and take our country to greater heights. Let’s support the lofty agenda hinged on the mantra of Renewed Hope for togetherness, unity and progress of our dear country”, he said.

Oyetola appreciated the continued support of his people particularly loyalists of the APC in Osun, assuring them that the party would bounce back stronger soon.

“Don’t lose hope, you are not orphans. You have fathers, grand fathers and lot. We will reclaim our State. You impressed me, I don’t know you have been planning this before. Though reward for hardwork is more work, I don’t want you to relent, please, we need your continued support”, he added.

Speaking intermittently, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Olabomi; Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Omoeye, described the award as a reward for his hardwork, commitment, forthrightness and selfless service to humanity.

“You don’t cherish what you have until you lose it. Oyetola is a blessing to Osun and Nigeria. Let’s continue to pray for him. This award is not by happenstance, it is a product of his commitment to humanity as manifested in his tremendous achievements as Osun Governor”, Aragbiji stated.

In his words, Owoeye said, “I want to assure you that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will perform creditably well. Whoever God is solidly behind no body can decimate him. He is an extraordinary being favoured by God.

“As regards Oyetola’s award, the crowd here is a testimony to his avowed commitment to human and capital development. I want to implore him not to relent in his efforts to impact on humanity.”
