As
governorship candidates of political parties strategise for the August 9
governorship election in Osun State, the General Overseer of the Living
Faith Church (aka Winners’ Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, on Wednesday,
said the infrastructural renewal of Governor Rauf Aregbesola were
affecting the people positively.
He
also declared that the new educational policy, which had culminated in
the building of mega schools in the state deserves global applause.
Bishop
Oyedepo, who made this known during a courtesy call on Aregbesola at
the Bola Ige House, Osogbo, said that “any governance that is producing
results and affecting the lives of vast majority of the people, must be
deeply appreciated”.
While
imploring the stakeholders to always be at the vanguard of peaceful
co-existence, the clergy affirmed that “there is nothing like living in
peace, working peace and promoting peace”.
According
to Oyedepo, “there is nothing like peace in the whole world. We should
always walk towards whatever will promote peace and peaceful
co-existence among our people. Let us work for an atmosphere that
encourages peace, which engenders growth and development. This is
because life is all about promoting the well-being of the people”.
He
continued, “I deeply appreciate the infrastructural development.
Besides, the education revolution is for us a great achievement.I can
see the massive road construction going on.
This is to the benefit of the people. No policy can remove the roads. I am very impressed”.
However,
in his remark, Aregbesola disclosed that his administration had no
political, religious or tribal preference, stressing that “it is
absolutely impossible for me to be a religious fundamentalist owing to
my all-faith inclusive background”.
Describing
as shocking and mischievous the erroneous tag ascribed to his
administration as pro-Islamic faith, the governor averred that “if there
is any accusation anyone could level against me , it is that I have
zero level tolerance for religious opportunism.
