The Speaker of House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, yesterday,
shocked his audience when he tongue lashed members of the Peoples Democratic
Party(PDP) who criticized him for speaking glowingly about the administration
of the governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, urging them to see
performance in governance beyond partisan politics.
Members of the Osun PDP had, some weeks ago, condemned the Speaker for
eulogizing Aregbesola during his visit to the state.
Tambuwal was speaking at Ilawe Ekiti,headquarters ,Ekiti South West Local
Government area of Ekiti State, yesterday, during the first year coronation
ceremony of Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti, Oba Ajibade Alabi.
He was installed the Bobagunwa of Ilawe at the occasion. According to him,
he was not the Speaker of the PDP but the Speaker of a crucial arm of
government of the nation.
Tambuwal said good performance by public officers should be acknowledged by
all, irrespective of political leaning.
He equally lauded the administration of Ekiti State governor,Dr Kayode
Fayemi, for bringing revolution to the state in terms of governance.
The Speaker urged Fayemi to keep up the good work.
Tambuwal expressed gratitude to the monarch and the community for the title
and promised to uphold the honour.
In his own speech at the occasion, Fayemi extolled the virtues of leadership
of Tambuwal in the House of Representatives, describing him as a “leader I am
very well pleased in.”
Fayemi, who commended the large turnout of the people at the event, noted
that the occasion was a demonstration of the love the people had for the
king.
Speaking earlier, Oba Alabi observed that the event would have taken place on
April 24 but postponed in honour of the late deputy governor of the state, Mrs.
Funmilayo Olayinka.
