ADULAWO News recall that Aregbesola served as a commissioner for eight years in Lagos State before he became the governor of Osun State for eight years and subsequently a minister under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“Can Nigeria survive executive presidential representation? The answer is no,” Aregbesola said.
“In seeking appropriate democratic representation let’s look at production as a basis of representation. We don’t have the best form of representation. People are engaged more in production. Productive acts and those engaged in production should be given opportunity to elect their best,” the former minister added.
