Aregbesola said: “Oyetola attended good schools from elementary to the university. He has proved himself to be a role model to the youths.
“He is hardworking, experienced and competent. He is a candidate to trust. You must not allow someone that students cannot be proud of, who the students cannot aspire to be like educationally to rule the state.
“Academically and professionally, Oyetola has made his mark. So, Osun cannot afford to have a dullard or a desperado as governor.”
