  • Aregbesola denies slapping deputy.
  • OSOGBO — Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf
    Aregbesola has denied ever slapping his
    deputy, Mrs. Grace Tomori, stressing that the
    rumor was aimed at causing disaffection
    capable of destabilising the state.
    The governor said a cordial relationship exists
    between the two of them.
    He added that "I have never beaten anybody
    in my life. In fact, I don't beat my children, let
    alone beating any other person. More so, the
    Deputy Governor is older than me, so how do
    I beat an elderly person."
    Governor Aregbesola, who spoke during a
    seven hour live programme tagged 'Ogbeni
    till day break,' weekend, maintained: "I don't
    have any quarrel with my Deputy, and I can't
    have any with her because I intentionally
    chose her and no one choose her for me.
    "I think I can work with her and that is why I
    chose her. So, no differences exist between
    us."
    The deputy governor who was also present at
    the programme confirmed the claims of the
    governor when she was asked to respond to
    the allegation that the governor once slapped
    her.
    The deputy governor stressed that a cordial
    relationship exists between her and the
    governor,, adding that she would remain loyal
    to the governor.
    On the crisis rocking the Nigerian Governors'
    Forum (NGF), Governor Aregbesola said: "Let
    the NGF take care of itself. The forum is a
    voluntary one and it is not compulsory that
    every Governor is a member."
    He also denied insinuation that the debt
    profile of the state has risen to N300 billion,
    saying that the opposition was only making
    the allegation to destabilise the progress of
    the state and cause confusion.
    …lauded by Okonjo-Iweala, World Bank, over
    good governance
    The Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-
    Iweala, has observed that Osun State
    governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, through
    his programmes, has demonstrated that good
    governance is possible.
    Also, the World Bank confirmed that the
    Federal Government's Youth Employment and
    Social Support Operation (YESSO) was
    replicated from the Osun Youth
    Empowerment Scheme (OYES) started by
    Aregbesola.
    In the same breath, the governor said that
    the nation would be great economically only if
    its people became very productive.
