A strong source has revealed the truth about the instrumentality of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, former Minister of the Interior, to the success of Asiwaju Tinubu while he governed Lagos.
The source further debunked the impression that the ex – Osun governor was one of Tinubu’s “boys”.
He rather disclosed that Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola’s indelible footprints are visible through meaningful infrastructure, such as roads across Lagos and Health Centres that targeted well being of Lagos ‘sprawling communities in Alimosho, etc.
Timeswatch learnt that as Commissioner of Works, Ogbeni Aregbesola touched Lagos like midas, alongside political icons.
On whether it was Asiwaju that ensured Aregbesola’s ministerial appointment as minister of interior during ex president Buhari’s presidency, Timeswatch gathered that when Aregbesola took his Resume to Asiwaju for submission to Buhari, for possible appointment, Tinubu rejected it, and told him to go and rest.
Sequel, we learnt that Ex President Buhari personally requested Aregbesola’s service in that critical ministry.
Historically, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola was a darling of Lagos for his spectacular inputs into the democratic architecture which ushered in excellence in Lagos when democracy returned in 1999; same standard he replicated in Osun as a rising statesman.
He was later to exhibit such golden traits through his golden reforms as the minister of interior.
Ogbeni Aregbesola remains a political figure so outstanding in Nigeria.
