The Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has cleared the air said his relationship with his predecessor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola.
Oyetola, who made the disclosure while featuring on a programme monitored on Osun State Broadcasting Cooperation, on Thursday said his relationship with his predecessor, Aregbesola, remains cordial, even though he admitted that governance style may be causing issues between them.
He said, “my relationship with Ogbeni is very cordial. I see him as my brother so there is nothing to it. At least, somebody I served for eight years to ensure his success; why would I be working against him?
“But when it comes to issue of governance: yes, we could have issues relating to your own style and I think it is expected and it is normal.”
While speaking on the wrangling within the rank of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Oyetola declared that there was no fight in the party, saying “we only have differences in ideology.”
“We can have issue in policies and others but that doesn’t change the focus of governance and you could see that by every standard, I am a man of peace and Osun is noted for peace. We must maintain this as a party and in Osun generally.”
He further said APC as a family would resolve whatever issues among its members, adding that it would be unnecessary to resort to litigation, when matters could be resolved amicably.
