The former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, says President Bola Tinubu mentored him in Lagos State and facilitated his emergence as the governor of Osun State.
Aregbesola said he will forever be grateful to Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari for the successes he achieved in his political career.
He said Buhari and Tinubu made the achievements that facilitated the grand reception in which people were praising him for possible.
He stated this in Oyo town on Sunday, June 18, during a civic reception organised in his honour by Concerned Muslim Scholars and Clerics in South West.
Aregbesola stated that the establishment of Nigeria Immigration Service passport office, firefighting office, and agro ranger office in Oyo town, which people praised him for was done by Buhari and executed through him as the Minister of Interior.
He said: “If any appreciation and gratitude could be given to me, I want to believe greater appreciation should be given to the two people I mentioned.

“Without their support, it would be pretty difficult for me to single-handedly achieve the height I am now and be able to render the service to good people of Oyo.”
Aregbesola said he was extremely grateful and honoured by the reception organised for him by the people of Oyo town and appreciated them for the reception.
Speaking, the host of the programme, Daud Tijani, said the willingness to celebrate Aregbesola’s indelible achievements as public office holder was due to his exemplified personality in all ramifications.
Tijani said Aregbesola has remained loyal to the cause of humanity, infrastructure development, and maximally using societal resources for the development of the people.
He said: ”He is vastly in Knowledge and has a way of relating with people inoffensively and this has earned him the loyalty and admiration of the masses and entire Yorubaland and the nation at large.
”He never compromised his integrity and faith in what he believes to be right.
“Aregbesola is so dear to the Muslims not only because he is a practising Muslim but because he consistently present himself as a good ambassador of Islam through good deeds in and outside governance.
“The people of Oyoland will continue to show gratitude to Aregbesola for moving Oyoland to status of a town to a city with the establishment of significant federal establishments.”
