Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State on Monday, said the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari saved the nation from disaster.
The governor alleged that the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan almost ruined the country.
Aregbesola, who made this remark in Osogbo, at a forum, Osun Stakeholders’ Conference, organised by Osun Legislators’ Forum, an umbrella body for lawmakers in the House of Representatives, Senate and state House of Assembly, said the ongoing financial crises in the country started under Jonathan’s government.
He argued that the stakeholders’ conference, which is the brainchild of the Osun federal lawmakers, indicated the high level of commitment of our representatives to the issue of this state.
According to Aregbesola, “how we got to this financial crisis is unknown to a lot of people, it is only the wise who may have a flash of understanding of what actually went wrong. It is this similar crisis that we are also battling with in this state as other states are also experiencing.
“This forum gives us opportunity to study in depth, how this situation came about and for us to find a lasting solution to the crisis, so that our state will move forward.”
While enjoining the participants, drawn from civil service, formal and informal sector, including artisans, businessmen, socio-cultural groups and others, to use the occasion to open up on their grievances, the governor noted that misconceptions and other ill-informed opinions about his government were misplaced.
