The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Osun State has pledged to totally support the administration of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.
A former Nigerian Ambassador to Philippines, Dr. Yemi Farounbi stated this during a visit by leaders of Osun SDP chapter to the governor in his office in Osogbo.
Dr Farounbi, a one-time chairman of the Board of the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC) expressed the satisfaction of his party with the Oyetola administration’s performance and urged the governor not to relent.
The All Progressives Congress (APC), the platform on which the governor won the election, went into an alliance with the SDP ahead of the supplementary governorship election last September.
Governor Oyetola reaffirmed that the alliance between APC and SDP was still intact and enjoined SDP members to continue to support the policies of the government.
