The Vice Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Bamitale Omole, and his Osun State University counterpart, Prof. Bashir Okesina, have hailed Governor Rauf Aregbesola over his re-election in last Saturday’s governorship election.

OAU Public Relations Officer, Mr. Abiodun Olarewaju, in a statement, on Thursday, quoted the institution’s registrar, Mr. Dotun Awoyemi, as saying the policies of Aregbesola’s administration culminated in his victory.

Okesina, who described the victory of the governor as an expression of the wish of the majority, stressed that the re-election was “a confirmation of the goodwill Aregbesola enjoys among the people of Osun.”

He said, “On behalf of the senate, management, staff and students of Osun State University, I congratulate the Governor of Osun State and Visitor to Osun State University on his election as an expression of the will of the people.

“It is a testimonial of good governance and a victory for good and responsible leadership. We pray almighty Allah to continue to guide and protect Governor Aregbesola at all times, enrich him with wisdom and knowledge so that he would be able to take Osun State and Osun State University to greater heights.”

Awoyemi said, “We can attribute the victory of the governor to the acceptability of the humane policies of his administration which have positively impacted on the entire citizenry of Osun State. Aregbesola should see his re-election as a national call to duty, using his God-given talents to further elevate the people’s standard of living and serve humanity in general.”
