Since the coming of the Oyetola led Administration in the state in November 2018, His Excellency, Governor Gboyega Oyetola, has made the frantic efforts for combating the scourge known as corruption in the state. Prior to this present moment, Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s mantra on stamping out all sort of financial sleazes in our dear state is worthy of commendations from varied quarters of which he has taken upon himself to ensure its success in addressing this challenge shortly after his resumption as an Executive Governor of this state as well as to correct some anomalies already inherent in the system. Until when we were just begun to witness on how some agent provocateurs now sharpen their skills to marshal their defence in reaction to the changes effected by the State Governor to put the state of Osun in the right direction among the comity of States in the entity called Nigeria.
I think it is so expedient for us to note that Governor Gboyega Oyetola to be in the saddle as the Executive Governor of this state. Such a platform he has gotten in the first place is an avenue to right some wrongs in the areas of governance as well as to prevent some administrative bottleneck associated with the day to day runinng affairs of this state. Having assumed such office as an Executive Governor of the state of Osun for about close to three years and four months; without gainsaying, there are some significant improvements in areas of healthcare delivery, education, agriculture, the provision of roads and other infrastructural development across the State, the recent being the opening of iconic Ola-Iya Fly over in Osogbo, the State capital, first of its kind in the state.
Ever since this political wranglings, as a result of changing the narrative of politics in the state of Osun, would begin to rear its ugly head, Mr. Governor himself has the premonition that such a trend is likely to emerge because some people are not comfortable with the leadership style of His Excellency and he has tried his best to quell such its spillover effect it may have on the fortunes of our party electoral success until some renegades from within our folds took the advantage of this political harakiri to feast on it at the expense of attaining certain feat in an area of proffering ideas for the permanent solutions. Still, Mr. Governor remains so meek, obedient and sincere and open to every major stakeholders in the APC project in the state who are ready for true reconciliation.
For the most part, Governor Gboyega Oyetola in his bid for re-election never shows any shreds of pretense by throwing his hat into the ring amidst slews of the party wranglings, intrigues and other sheninangas here and there among our party stalwarts and faithful who have hidden agenda to pursue against the already laid down rules via its party lines. There is no place anywhere in the world, such a trend to find its way to evolve in our affair to me is a dangerous precedent we ought to quash in our scheme of things. Let us face it squarely, Mr Governor has the paraphernalia of office to constitute his structure in the party, but the Governor has decided to allow party structures from the state level to ward level to be run by party Excos without unnecessary interference from the state, this was done in his Mr Governor’s political wisdom in order to separate governance from politics.
The changing of political narrative in the state of Osun by the state Governor, Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola was in consonance with the demands and dictates of the majority of the Osun populace for them to have inputs in the affairs of the State. The government under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola who believes in participatory democracy will always change the narrative of politics for good and accommodate public interests. That’s the beauty of democracy. Mr Governor is a progressive cum Democrat to the core who believes in the basic tenents of what good governance is all about.
The sterling performance of Mr Governor couples with the confidence the majority of the Osun populace have in his Administration, Mr. Governor will no doubt emerge victorious come July 16, 2022.
As the narrative of politics is changing at the state level as a result of Mr. Governor’s visionary leadership style, the coming into the political scene of Seun Odofin in Ijesa North Federal Constituency politics, as a major Political Stakeholder, is already changing the hitherto narrative of politics for good across the Federal Constituency.
Seun Odofin, who is the Converner of Oyetola Independent Support Group (OISG), is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that APC wins convincingly come July 16, 2022 in Obokun and Oriade Local Government Areas of the State. His infrastructural development efforts in Ijesa North Federal Constituency is unparalleled and unrivaled.

In the area of Empowerment, Seun Odofin has raised the bar of high standard above all in our Federal Constituency.
