The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has congratulated the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, as he bags the 2022 Best Minister of the Year award for his commitment, passion and dedication to nation building.
In a statement signed by its factional Chairman, Hon. Rasaq Salinsile, on Thursday, 18 August, 2022, APC said the award is not only well deserved, but reconfirms Aregbesola’s dedication to selfless service and delivery of quality leadership.
While maintaining that Aregbesola remains the architect of modern Osun, Salinsile described the Minister as a golden fish that has no hiding place.
According to him, such award is not unexpected, as Aregbesola has no doubt added value to President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration through various reforms in Nigerian Correctional Service, Immigration, Fire Service and other agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
The statement partly reads, “Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola is a golden fish that has no hiding place; his hard work, quality leadership skill, commitment, passion and dedication to nation building and a better Nigeria will always stand him out among his peers.
“We are not surprised that Aregbesola is honoured as the Minister of the Year. Reason being that he is an added value to President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. He has brought productive reforms to immigration, correctional service, fire service and other agencies under the Ministry of Interior.
“Aregbesola remains the architect of modern Osun and the legacy of good governance he left behind cannot be erased in spite of the undeserved and vindictive onslaught on him by his successor.
“The Minister has always been having footprint of quality and selfless service, and his goal is to see to a better society. He is such a rare politician that Nigeria needs in the quest to attain a developed nation. He is just a blessing to Nigeria.
“We in the APC congratulate our leader, mentor and benefactor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on his award. It is yet another feat attained. May he live long in the service to humanity and nation building.”
