The Osun State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Prince Gboyega Famodun has expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for considering former Governor Rauf Aregbesola as a ministerial-nominee for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Famodun,  in a statement issued by his Media Consultant, Kola Olabisi, in Osogbo said the nomination of Aregbesola for such exalted  political office was a recognition of his past exemplary services as a former Commissioner, former governor and a committed party stakeholder.

He  said  he was convinced beyond resonable doubt that with the enviable record of past performance of the ministerial-nominee, he would add superlative value to the Buhari-led  administration.

The Osun APC Chairman  hinted that Aregbesola’s new appointment should be a lesson to upcoming politicians that hardwork pays,  saying,  it is the past record of the former Osun governor that has earned him the ministerial consideration.

“Whatever anyone has to say, the laying of a solid foundation for the new Osun was laid by the ministerial-nominee through his doggedness and dexterity to the services of humanity.

“I congratulate the former Governor Rauf Aregbesola and the entire people of Osun State on the recognition of his numerous efforts to transform the state which have now earned him an exalted position of a ministerial nominee.

“It’s on record that Aregbesola was the first governor in the history of Osun State to serve two terms without any interruptions.

“History will not also deny the former governor of the fact that he would be the first ex-governor from the state to have ever  been  considered for the post of a minister”.

Famodun said “ It is worthwhile to show a bountiful gratitude to President Buhari for the improved political fortune of Aregbesola as there is no way Osun would not specially benefit from the development.

It would be recalled that Aregbesola’s name was among the 43 ministerial-nominees  that were transited to the National Assembly byPresident Buhari on Tuesday for confirmation.
