No matter what his detractors can say about him, one thing is indisputable about Ogbeni Aregbesola, the governor of the state of Osun, and that is the fact that he is hard work personified. In the state of Osun today there is no gainsaying his performance. The founding fathers of the state are today giving [...]
In the devastation that characterized Oyinlola’s eight years of misrule of the state of Osun, no sector in the life of the state was left out.
