God Has Told Me Tinubu Will Win 2023 Presidential Election – Former Osun State Governor, Oyetola Says

The immediate past governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, said God revealed to him that Bola Tinubu, the presidential flag-bearer of the party, will emerge victorious in the forthcoming 2023 general election.

 

 Oyetola who also predicted that he will return as Governor of Osun State soon, made this known while speaking at a prayer organised by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to herald Oyetola’s return to the state since leaving office, held in Osogbo.

He charged the APC members to continue to meet on regular basis and avoid distraction, urging them to collect their Permanent Voter Cards and support Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, at the presidential poll.

“God has told me that he will do two things for us this year. We are going to retrieve our mandate and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will become the president of Nigeria.

“I know that you are scared by what happened but God knows how he does his plans. Everyone has his challenges, I only went to rest; you see I am fresh now. I served Osun wholeheartedly for four years without resting and God intentionally orchestrated my rest for a while.

“God made me to govern Osun well. Let our mind be at rest. Nobody can scare us off this state. I want to implore us that we should work hard for the forthcoming election. It is very important to us,” Oyetola added.

Unknown Men Looted Osun Government House After I Left – Former Governor, Oyetola Says

 

Former Governor Gboyega Oyetola has attributed the looting of the Osun Government House to “unknown men.”

 

 Mr Oyetola said it was not his intention to imperil his successor, incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke’s new administration.

Funke Egbemode, the ex-information commissioner under Mr Oyetola, said “unknown men” were behind the looting, asserting it was “beyond laughable” to accuse “a man of Oyetola’s pedigree of taking away the Government House cooker.”

Ms Egbemode, in her statement, said relevant security outfits were duly informed of the looting perpetrated by “unknown men.”

“It is also important to note here that the state commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, was officially informed of the looting of the official residence of Deputy Governor Gboyega Alabi and other quarters within the Government House by ‘unknown men’,” asserted Ms Egbemode in her statement.

“In a letter with reference number SEC 43T/352, dated November 25, 2022, and signed by A.T. Komolafe on behalf of the coordinating director, Governor’s Office, the NSCDC was notified of the ongoing looting of government properties in different quarters following the then-Governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s departure from the premises,” she explained. “Mr Komolafe, in the letter, asked for armed security to stop the looting in the Government House of Okefia GRA.”

For the matter to have been officially reported to the NSCDC, Ms Egbemode said the newly sworn Adeleke administration must be “confused” to still level allegations of looting against his predecessor.

“So, how exactly is Mr Oyetola guilty of this looting by ‘unknown men’ after he had vacated Government House? The apparent confusion of this new government keeps deepening with every new step it takes,” the ex-commissioner said.

She explained that “if, as claimed, it has established a review committee for stock-taking, why is it launching a media trial to force its pre-conceived conclusions down the public’s throat?”

However, Mr Adeleke’s spokesman Olawale Rasheed said the new governor had a duty to report what he met on the ground since the “Oyetola administration refused to conduct proper handing over.”

Commending the ex-commissioner for confirming there was indeed looting of the Government House, Mr Rasheed cautioned her not to “attack the new administration that is cleaning up the mess created by her former boss.”
