My Overseas Trips In Osun’s Interest – Aregbesola by Demdem(m): 8:17am On Sep 12, 2011 |
Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said his overseas trips since he assumed duties have been in the interest of the state and have never affected the running of the state negatively. Speaking at the end of the activities marking the 20th anniversary of the state at the weekend in Osogbo, the governor said his detractors were making a mountain out of a mole hill. Aregbesola said he always ensured that his Deputy, Otunba Grace Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, held forth and performed state functions to his satisfaction whenever he was not around. He said his travelling was on record and he would continue to meet people who could assist him in turning the fortune of the state around. Aregbesola accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of spreading rumour of his ill-health, saying he was hale and hearty and rumor mongers would be afflicted with the alleged disease. “Having been defeated on that front, they started making issues out of my few travels. My travels are public and on records. The first was to the Borough of Southwark in the United Kingdom, purely on official assignment, to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Borough on behalf of councils in the state on areas of mutual understanding,” he said. He said his second trip to Dubai was undertaken to attend the convocation of his daughter “from where I proceeded to India for medical check up.” He reminded the gathering that he had made this known before travelling that after the exhaustion of the struggle for his mandate’s retrieval and the rigorous campaign for the April/May general election, that he needed to rest, which lasted for only one week. Aregbesola stated that his trip to Dubai and India were carried out purely on his personal account while no state fund was involved, saying “anyone in doubt can check the records.” He said: “My next travel was to China on state visit at the invitation of All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), the first to be extended to any state governor in Nigeria. This was facilitated by the executive secretary of Organisation of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU). Agreements were signed that would make Chinese firms to establish industries in Osun State and enable our state access official Chinese government assistance. The trip was a huge success.” Commenting on his last trip to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj popularly called Umrah in Arabic, the governor told the gathering that it was also at his personal expense as it had been his practice for the past 12 years. He described his critics (BEAF and CO) ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/sept/12/national-12-09-2011-016.html |

I live in osun state, mr. Ogbeni has lost majority of people's confidence even among his party members. The report dat he spends more time in lagos dan osun is nt far 4rm d truth. So dis is nt abt beaf dou d guy has sentiments against d ogeni gov. |

Akanbi_edu: I was just about to say precisely the same thing. Beaf propaganda bearing fruit. I.e say the same lies ,however preposterous, over and over again and some people will swallow it and begin regurgitating it as gospel truth. |

Gbawe: Gbawe, didn't you read this: dankol: @ Dankol: You should understand now. The guy has to bring returns to his godfather - Tinubu. Recall Tinubu via Lagos State treasury financed his election expenses. |
Re: My Overseas Trips In Osun’s Interest – Aregbesola by Demdem(m): 1:04pm On Sep 12, 2011 |
dankol: Though i dont live in osun state but i definately have my links there. just like any other Governor, Ogbeni also visits Lagos being the commercial center of Nigeria however he doesnt govern osun State from Lagos. That fact is well laid. |

Same was said about Fashola though he don't travel much. He went to Egypt twice and before you you know and less than 2 years later, we have the first transformer manufacturing plant in Nigeria built by the same Egyptian company he visited twice. |

@demdem, tell me hw many gov leaves their duty post to visit lagos, oshiomole, fayemi nd oda acn govs av stuck to their constituency, there are 2 tins i c 2 dis 1. His travelin is in allegiance to tinubu 2. Osun state is far below his standard in terms of security, social life and economy. I tell u call an average person livin in osun, it is regret dou som are his die hard fans. |
Re: My Overseas Trips In Osun’s Interest – Aregbesola by Demdem(m): 2:50pm On Sep 12, 2011 |
dankol: Nigerian governors from all corners of the nation goes to Lagos for different reasons. starting from Amosun, Oshimole, Chime, lamido, Rochas etc while some go for personal reasons, some reasons may also vary from business, political, social and even sex*ual. on several occasions av i seen other governor's convoy in lagos. that isnt out of place. some even prefer to land in Lagos when coming from overseas. None of them to the best of my knowledge (pending when i see something to the contrary) LEAVES his duty post and and start governing from Lagos as you have just speculated. well, what u have seen is your opinion and i respect it but not neccessary mean that is the truth. I honestly dont give a damn bleep about Ogbeni, he isnt paying my bills but what i know is that he will definately have both his supporters and opponents. u definately fall into the latter. |

Re: My Overseas Trips In Osun’s Interest – Aregbesola by SisiKill1: 3:22pm On Sep 12, 2011 |
Only in Nigeria will a Governor open his mouth to say he went to one country for medical treatment, another for his daughter's convocation then try to spin it that it was in the interest of the people he is governing. . .all this without batting an eye. SMH!! |

Has Aregbe joined the dollar Ninja's and rascals? We know he is there verbally, talking crap as usual. Sombori please tell him to pack back from Lagos where he is disturbing Fashola like a clown. Sombori, beg di man to pack go Osun na! How can he keep ruling Osun by email and text and keep lying without limit? In a year's time, he will be like his brother below. . . www.nairaland.com/attachments/518316_IkuforijiNinjaThief_jpgd221a96311b1a89c01821b803d551a9c |
