Rauf Aregbesola, the immediate past Minister of Interior, has reiterated the need for members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State to strengthen the party’s political base.
Aregbesola, a former governor of Osun state made this call at a reception as part of activities marking his homecoming in Osogbo on Saturday, saying in no distant time, leaders of the party will traverse the length and breadth of the state to visit party members.
“I am deeply grateful to you, all. You have all shown me uncommon love, backing and the strength, unity of purpose and the reassurance that you are indeed with us.
“We are grateful. We will not let you down. We will soon begin a statewide tour to see all our people and to assure them that we are fully back to see to their welfare. We are fully committed to strengthening the APC.
“In no distant time, leaders of the party will traverse the length and breadth of the state to visit party members and re-echo the need for them to strengthen the political base.”
However, Aregbesola, while acknowledging the support of everybody for making the homecoming event a success, expressed his gratitude to the people of Osun, the State Government under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke, traditional rulers, groups and associations, among others for their unrelenting support for him and his ideology.
