…..Extols Oyetola virtues
Osun State Youths, under the aegis of Congress of Progressive Youth (COPY), has knocked the State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its poor rating of immediate past Governor of Osun State and current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, in the Federalist cabinet, saying that the PDP as a party had been blindfolded by the politics of bitterness which they were known for, to rate Oyetola as one of the poor performing ministers of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the last one of the administration.
The group, which gave kudos to Oyetola for making Osun State and her citizens proud in the administration of President Bola Tinubu for being good representative of the State in the Federal cabinet, urged the State PDP leaders and members to purge themselves of politics of bitterness, which has been retrogressing the current PDP administration of Mr. Jackson Ademola Adeleke in the area of performance, with huge allocation being accrued to the State from Federation Account through President Tinubu led Federal Government of Nigeria.
The panel also awarded a pass mark to former governor Oyetola for his outstanding work as the first Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, which increased the ministry’s revenue base and served as the foundation for the Federal Government’s revenue allocation to state governors like Mr. Ademola Jackson Adeleke. Adeleke claimed that despite the large sums of money the state had received from the federal account, the PDP government was unable to produce any concrete results to support the large sums of money to the state purse other than political jamboree cum dancing as a pastime.
Reacting to a statement credited to State PDP Chairman, Mr. Sunday Bisi recently on the poor rating of Oyetola as pioneer Minister of Marine and Blue Economy.
In a signed press statement by the COPY’s Chairman and Secretary, Mr. Ibrahim Aderinto and Lekan Ibrahim (Legacy), respectively, after the group weekly meeting in Osogbo on Wednesday and copies were made available to newsmen, Oyetola extolled the virtues of Oyetola as financial expert and administrator par excellence that took the State out of financial quagmire and gave prosperous life to Adeleke’s Government thereafter.
The statement stated that the excellence of Oyetola’s performance as governor of Osun State between 2018 and 2022 and as the current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, made the good people of the state be yarning for his coming back as governor of Osun State in 2026 for second term in office, describing Oyetola as refined political leader whose leadership qualities are second to none.
“It is sad that the Sunday Bisi led Osun PDP and his doomy cohorts could not see the achievements and excellent performance of Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola as Minister of Marine and Blue Economy in the cabinet of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because of politics of bitterness, which beclouded the party’s sense of judgement. Oyetola has made the good people of Osun proud as good representative of the State in the Federal cabinet and Oyetola’s wealth of experience in public financing and administration saved Osun State from bricks of collapse while holding forth as Governor of the State.”,the group submitted.
