During a civic reception held in his honour by concerned Muslim scholars and clerics in Oyo State, Rauf Aregbesola, the former Minister of Interior, expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari, attributing his political accomplishments and triumphs to their influential roles in his life.
He acknowledged the fact that their support had opened doors for him in the world of politics in the country’s South-West region.
He said: “I am thankful to those who make the achievements that facilitated this grand reception possible. I start with those who mentored me in Lagos, who facilitated my emergence in Osun, who made it possible for me to do the little things that the Oyo people are celebrating me for – Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and former President Buhari.
“If any appreciation and gratitude could be given to me, I want to believe greater gratitude and appreciation should be given to those two people I have mentioned because, without their support, it would be pretty difficult for me single-handedly to achieve the heights I have attained and render the services for which the people are commending and appreciating me.”
