“Oyetola as Governor enthroned peace, stability, and social and economic transformation of the state.
“Also, Mr Rauf Aregbesola equally raised the bar politically with his excellent performance as two term governor of the state and Minister of Interior under the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, a position he held with distinction.
“Chief Bisi Akande was credited for laying the foundation for a prosperous Osun State with his reforms aimed at reducing the work force in the state.
