On Monday, members of the All Progressives Congress in significant towns located throughout the state of Osun organised get-togethers in order to celebrate the inauguration of Bola Tinubu as the new President.
Our correspondent in Ila, Iragbiji, Ikire, Iwo, Osogbo, and Ife conducted some checks, and the results showed that members of the APC gathered at predetermined locations to watch Tinubu’s swearing-in ceremony on television, and then they held the celebration afterward.
Tinubu’s birthday was celebrated by party members who gathered at the home of Chief Bisi Akande, a former interim national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ila.
Members of the APC were also seen engaging in celebratory partying in Iragbiji, which is the town in which Adegboyega Oyetola served as governor of the state before his most recent term ending.
A large number of party members were also present at the secretariat of the APC state party in Osogbo, which was located in Osogbo. There, they were entertained by a band.
Adegboyega Adelabu, who served as the Special Adviser, Youth and Sports to the former governor, Oyetola, told The PUNCH in Osogbo at the APC state secretariat that celebrations of Tinubu’s inaguration took place across the nine federal constituencies in the state. Adelabu spoke with The PUNCH at the APC state secretariat.
He stated that this is happening in each of Osun State’s nine federal constituencies at the present time. While we are in the midst of the festivities here in Osogbo, this occasion is also being observed in the surrounding federal constituencies of Ede, Iwo, Ikire, Ife, Ilesa, Ijebu-ijesa, Ila, and Ikirun.
“Today is a joyous occasion as we celebrate the birth of the All Progressives Congress. “I’m sure you’ll agree with me that this will be the first time in this country’s history that a staunch progressive will hold the office of president,” he said.
On the other hand, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, extended his congratulations to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on the accomplishment of his successful inauguration.
In a statement issued by Oyebanji’s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, Oyebanji referred to the newly elected President as “a seasoned administrator and strategist who has the wealth of experience to turn the fortunes of Nigeria around positively, making use of abundant human and material resources.” Oyebanji made this remark in response to a question about the new President’s qualifications.
The governor made the following statement: “With President Tinubu in the driving seat, Nigeria is in safe hands for sustainable development, economic revival, sustenance of infrastructure renewal, reduction of poverty, wealth creation, and job creation, as well as fulfilment of electoral promises made in the lead up to the presidential election.”
Additionally, a sociopolitical organisation based in the South-South known as the Niger Delta Youth Council congratulated Tinubu on the success of his inauguration and urged him to “focus on infrastructure development, so as to cast his name in gold” and “prioritise the proper development of the Niger Delta region.”
