Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has issued a new executive order to protect Interior Minister Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola from being expelled from the state.
Aregbesola clashed with his successor, Adegboyega Oyetola during his later tenure.
However, Governor Adeleke, who was speaking at the passport office of the Nigerian Immigration Services Commission in Ilesa, Osun State, said on Tuesday that the Minister is free to enter the ‘State at will.
His word;
I am issuing an Executive Order, protecting you, nobody can pursue you from this state. It is your state, nobody can stop you from coming in as you like. You are making us proud.
“I will invite you to the commissioning of the ongoing structure inside the government house in Osogbo after completing the building and you will sleep in the building after the event”.
The Minister had during his opening remark, acknowledged and appreciate the Governor for honouring him with his (Governor’s) presence, saying former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, despite being of the same party, attended his numerous programmes in the state only once.
“I want to acknowledge and appreciate you (Gov. Adeleke) for honouring me with your presence. I left this state as a former Governor some years ago. As a Minister, I have attended several events in the state, and the former Governor, despite being from the same party attended only one of those events.
Now, Governor Adeleke, from a different party, honoured me with his presence at my first event in the state. I really appreciate you”, he said.
