Osun State former governor, Rauf Aregbesola has taken his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola to the cleaners for reversing the education policy he introduced in the state during his tenure.

He said: “I am happy and fulfilled. It is by the grace of God and a great privilege to have been in a position of leadership three times and to have left indelible footprints on my paths and be celebrated in this manner.”

“I thank God for enabling me to serve with distinction, honour and integrity as Minister and returning home to these receptions and tumultuous celebrations.”

“The outpouring of love by the people, friends and associates filled me with the deepest emotions and never ceases to draw tears from my eyes.”

“The 4-5-3-4 policy introduced by Obafemi Awolowo was aimed to bring, to the fore, the importance of education to the society and to ensure that no child of school age is excluded from getting a quality Western education.”

“All governments must know that no matter how attractive private schools may be, they will never be able to displace government-funded public foundation education schools.”
