The Many Tourist Attractions In Osun – CACOL Boss
The Center for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, writes to congratulate Adegboyega Oyetola, the Executive Governor of Osun State, on the first anniversary of his inauguration today.
Debo Adeniran, President of CACOL, in an issued statement stated that although you were an integral part of the last administration, ably led by our scholar and brain icon, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola (currently on national assignment), your appearance was made even more sweet for those experiences, especially the legal hurdles you had to overcome before the administration ship could finally set sail.
With hindsight, it could indeed be said that Osun State has not lacked for competent men and women to conduct its affairs in word and deed since its creation and official removal from the former Oyo State on August 27, 1991, and Theopilus Bamigboye became served as a pioneer state administrator. just before Mr. Adebisi Akande was inducted as our first elected Executive Governor on May 9, 1999.
Since that momentous creation of our noble state and now with your assumption of the exalted office of Governor, our state has grown by leaps and bounds as we have transitioned from idyllic, rural surroundings to a cosmopolitan, urban state that is ready to prove its worth in the committee of states within the Nigerian federation.
There is no question, too, that we have had our own fair share of challenges as a fledgling state, one of which includes transitioning smoothly from one administration to another through a democratic process; since we all agreed that this should be our ideal model for the achievement of power and governance among our people.
Therefore, it is to the credit of our great Indians of our state, that we accomplished this without any impediment or impediment or bloodshed of any kind.
Furthermore, we are closely following your remarkable progress and efforts to transform Osun State from its ‘Civil Servant’ status to a modern agrarian and industrialized state where all its tourism endowments are properly utilized for the benefit of all.
Apart from our rich natural resources like bauxite, gold, marble, uranium, etc., Osun Osogbo spring is just one of the many tourist attractions we boast of, perhaps more than any other state in the federation. .
This is in addition to the friendly and fertile soil and climate that provided much of the cacao pyramid during the western region era from which most of the achievements were made. We have no doubt that you have consistently and resolutely focused on changing the socioeconomic destiny of the state forever in this regard.
As CACOL, we pledge our full and utter commitment and support to travel this journey with you in our own peculiar ways. That is why we have started the Osun State version of the ‘Lagos Open Parliament (LOP) baptized as the Osun Open Parliament (OOP), which will start this year, on equal terms.
It is to examine the areas of achievement and fulfillment of campaign promises and more for the good people of our beloved state, while also serving as a wake-up call to your concerns and possible disappointments.
The Iresi Festival of Arts and Culture, Commerce and Sports (I-FACTS) and the Oyeladeniran Center for Arts, Recreation, Commerce and Sports (O-CARTS), annual events that also often take place in Iresi, is another socio-cultural pastime. from our rural area. Iresi village with its exhibition of unique totems of nature and cultural reminiscences that Your Excellency had honored in previous years as Chief of Staff of the immediate past governor.
We intend to make it more colorful and consolidated under your leadership, with your early support and assistance. This is further appreciated by the simple fact that the leadership echelon of our organization in the Center for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) comes from this very state which rightly prides itself as the ‘Omoluwabi’ state. or the state of Virtue, while accepting and integrating others from the vast Yoruba nation in particular and Nigeria by extension.
