Aragbiji upbeat about Oyetola’s victory

…advises indigenes against wild jubilation

The Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdulrosheed Olabomi, has expressed optimism about Gboyega Oyetola’s victory in Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.

Oyetola, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election, hails from Iragbiji.

The monarch, who cast his vote in front of his palace at 11:17 am, told The Nation at his palace that he was not surprised at the massive turnout of his subjects in today’s election because the APC candidate is one of his subjects that is committed to the development of the town and welfare of indigenes.

Oba Olabomi explained that Oyetola has been in the forefront of human capital development of the town in recent decades, offering scholarships to indigent students, supporting community projects and sponsoring free health services to the masses.

“Even before he became the Chief of Staff, he had been very supportive. There has never been a time he held back in his responsibilities to the town as a major indigene. He has impacted almost every home in Iragbiji, helping young people to secure employment, supporting students and helping many people with health challenges.” Olabomi said.

The traditional ruler revealed that reports from other parts of the state confirmed that there were large turnout of voters in the election which he believes would be in favour of his subject.

Based on his expectation and the enthusiasm of his subjects, he advised them against wild jubilation when Oyetola is hopefully declared winner. He advised them to celebrate moderately, reminding them that the candidate is a gentleman and that Iragbiji is known for peace
