Aregbesola: APC will take over in 2015
Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, yesterday predicted that the newly- proposed All Progressive Congress (APC) will take over the reins of government at the federal level in the next general election.
He spoke in Ede yesterday during the 10th edition of the monthly physical fitness exercise of the state government tagged ‘Walk to Live’.
The governor charged Osun residents and indigenes to welcome the party that will ensure peace and development in Nigeria.
He said: “This new party called APC is the party that will guarantee peace and development in this country as we have been witnessing in Osun.
“It is clear that there is peace in Osun otherwise it would be difficult to successfully carry out this physical fitness exercise without any chaos.”
Aregbesola added: “Since we all want this kind of peace to extend to other parts of the country, let us all welcome the new political party that will effect change in this country.
“We are also happy that we have successfully sent away the enemies of progress in this state but we should not allow them to use their antics to destroy the peace we have been enjoying, either through religion, politics or some of the developmental programmes we have been carrying out.”
The governor, who noted that all the programmes and policies of his administration are meant to serve the interest of the people, advised the people to discard the confusion some people, he described as hypocrites planned to create on the school uniforms being given to students.
Explaining the significance of physical fitness exercise, Aregbesola emphasised it helps people to remain healthy.
The Secretary-General, Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC), Mr. Olatunde Popoola, charged other states of the federation to emulate the initiative for physical fitness exercise and for sport development.
