Former Governor of the Old Western Region of Nigeria, General Adeyinka Adebayo (rtd), on Friday said the style of governance adopted by Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun remained a source of hope in the face of the weak and bleak future that the Yoruba race and Nigeria face.<\/p>\n

Adeyinka, an elder statesman, who visited Aregbesola at the Government House, Osogbo, told the governor that the current state of the country required urgent attention for the restoration of its past achievements and lost glory.<\/p>\n

The elder statesman further commended Aregbesola for his active participation in the regional integration of the Yoruba nation. He said regional integration agenda of the Yoruba race was one of the cardinal objectives of the Yoruba Council of Elders.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cMy aim then and now is to have the best for Nigeria and Yoruba especially. Our problem now is where we are going in this country and what our position is as Yoruba. That is why we need to commend your position on where the Yoruba people should be now and in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future is bleak, but we want it to be bright. It is based on that\u00a0we thank you for what you are doing in Osun. We should go back to where we are in terms of regional structure so that the little we get will be used for our people,\u201d the General stressed.<\/p>\n

Adeyinka condemned what he described as costly governance structure in the country, describing it as wasteful. Accordingly, he urged the government to bring down the cost of governance.<\/p>\n

In his response, Aregbesola thanked the former military governor for his patriotism. \u201cWe want to assure you that we are committed to the things you have told us on the beliefs of YCE, which is commitment to the progress of the Yoruba race and that of Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
