The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State is currently embarking on accommodating new members and reconciling existing ones in view of building a stronger team that will give us victory in the next election.

The results of these pragmatic efforts of the leadership of the party in bringing all the aggrieved members together through conflict resolution and mediation are now yielding positive results.

In a couple of weeks, the party will start welcoming a large number of decampees to APC in the state.

In addition to that, the party, under the leadership of Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, is not leaving any stone unturned through engagements and consultations.

Just recently, there was a state-wide tour led by the party Chairman in the state, Alhaji Tajudeen Lawal to review, appraise and evaluate the strength of the party and to know its challenges across the local government to reposition it through critical analysis of areas of strength and weakness to improve and implement the recommendations of the reconciliation committee, for the APC to remain a formidable party in Osun State.

How will you describe the tenure of former Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola ?

The administration of former governor Gboyega Oyetola witnessed tremendous advancement in terms of good governance that impacted the social and economic lives of the people of the state.

During His Excellency’s four years in office, there was an unprecedented transformation in health, education, agriculture, infrastructure and rural community development, etc.

Despite the fact that the federal allocation at that time was meager, Oyetola, due to his rich experience from both private and public sectors, was able to utilise the meager resources in such a way that every sector was touched which affected the lives of the masses in the state positively.
