Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has reinterated his administration’s resolve to complete all projects embarked upon before its tenure runs out.

The governor also noted that he was in no way disturbed by the way politicians fabricate lies over the state of finance of Osun State.

Aregbesola made this known in Osogbo, Osun State capital yesterday at the opening of a new privately-owned radio station, Rave FM, by a former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Yemi Farounbi.


Speaking at the event, the governor said all “detractors and opposition will soon come to appreciate my administration when all projects embarked on are completed before the end of my tenure in office.”

While acknowledging that the state is financially unstable, Aregbesola said help was on the way for the state.

According to him, the Gbongan-Akoda Road project and others in the state would commence before the first quarter of 2016, adding that his administration would not abandon any project.

He said, “I will not be disturbed by bad comments from some people about my policies because I believe in God who sent me to Osun and supports me.


“What we are doing in Osun may not be appreciated now, but it will become what people will praise later; we came here and all we have been doing has been inspired by God.”

Describing the the debt profile of the state by some parties as shameful, Aregbesola said, “If we borrowed N800bn, like some (people) said, how could we have been able to pay the loan interest? How could we have survived? Though we took loan, and that is the only way we could have brought development to the state; as tough as it is, God and His help is on the way and Osun shall overcome.”
