Recently I went to Osun state and the highlight of my days in Osun State was seeing the Governor Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola with family and then actually talking to the first lady of Osun State Mrs Sherifat Aregbesola. If you ask 10 people that hail from Osun State but reside in Lagos about Ogbeni, they would probably turn their nose and say ‘that one na governor?’ “he does nothing but make unnecessary noise and moves”.
