The Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Ag. Rector, Mr Kehinde Alabi on Thursday last week transited with staff of the institution through the palliative bus provided by the institution from Osogbo to Iree.
In a surprise appearance, Mr. Kehinde Alabi was seen with staff of the institution around 8am in front of Osogbo township stadium where the institution coaster bus was expected to take off.
A staff of the institution who boarded the bus together with the Acting Rector, commended the management for coming up with such idea of palliative bus during this trying time. He averred that the provision of the Bus was unpredented in the history of the Institution. He urged the Alabi-led management team to get more buses to ease the transportation problem of the members of staff of the institution.
In his reaction, Mr Kehinde Alabi said his journey with the members of staff of the institution to campus was not for the fun of it but to feel the pains of the people and to let them know that he is aware of the situation in the country and determined to complement the efforts of the State Government in providing succour to staffers of the Institution.
“Our initial idea was to alleviate the suffering of the contract staff caused by fuel subsidy removal particularly during the examination that we concluded recently, but we discovered that it is also helpful to all staff of the institution that’s why we have to extend it after the examination”, Mr Alabi explained.
Mr Alabi further promised that there would be more of such palliatives as the management is making more arrangement with the State Government to get more buses to ease the stress caused by the fuel subsidy removal. The Acting Rector did not only board the Bus, he also exchanged pleasantries with the members of staff in the Bus.
As Muslims all over the world observe the Eid-el-Maulud (the birth of Prophet SAW) all over the world today, the Acting Rector, Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, Mr Kehinde Alabi, has charged Islamic devotees in the polytechnic to use the occasion to offer special prayers for continuity of peace, love and unity in the Institution.
The Rector through a statement signed by the Institution’s Acting Registrar, Mr Abiodun Oloyede said “it is imperative that we emulate Prophet Mohammed who devoted His entire life to preach peace and love, which had been the basic tenets of Islamic devotees in thoughts and practice.
Mr Alabi who sought for the cooperation of the entire members of the polytechnic community enthused that “it is imperative for us to emulate our father in Islamic Faith to embrace peace, love unity and progress. I urge us all to let us continue to pray for the Polytechnic community, Osun State and Nigeria at large.”
Mr. Alabi however reiterated his determination to build on the existing academic feats of the Institution, saying “I am determined to add values to the Polytechnic standard in academic, administration and infrastructure.”
Management of Osun State Polytechnic (OSPOLY),Iree has directed all students and staff of the Institution to commence lectures and all other academic activities on Monday 25th September.

The immediate past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has restated his commitment to progressive ideals and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State even as he stated that political parties are amalgamation of different interests and tendencies.
Ogbeni Aregbesola renewed his commitment to the party during the launch of Omoluabi Caucus of the All Progressives Congress in Ilesa, on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
Describing the Omoluabi Caucus as one of the many caucuses in the state, the former two-term governor of Osun, noted that the caucus is not a faction of the party, but a union of like-minds in the state.
“The Omoluabi Tendency is a caucus within the All Progressives Congress (APC); actually one of the caucuses in the state. We are not a faction. We are the genuine foundation members of the party and we have no intention of abandoning the ship of the party as it navigates the most turbulent waters. We are no sprinters, but long-distance runners and we will still be standing when all the fair-weathers have gone.
“A political party is actually an agglomeration of interests and tendencies. Reading well from the United States where we borrowed the Presidential System, we can see that the Republican Party is made up of big businesses, nationalists, religious right and others. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, is composed of welfarists, labour unions, ethnic and sexual minorities and others.
“They are together in the party because their interests are broadly similar and they believe the party is the right vehicle for them to realise their goals. Sometimes they compete and clash, but for most part, they cooperate and form strong bond to give their party the victory in every election cycle. The party loses anytime this bond is broken,” Ogbeni Aregbesola stated.
The immediate past Minister of Interior also stated that the launch of the Omoluabi Caucus is to renew their path in progressive politics as inherited from Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Bola Ige, amongst other progressives who epitomise the Omoluabi ethos, noting that the loss of the party in the state can be traced to the departure from these progressive ideals, but revealing that it will bounce back to its winning ways.
“What we have come to do here today is to renew our commitment to the path of progressive ideology and politics as inherited from our great past heroes, beginning from Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Bola Ige and others in the pantheon of progressive politics too numerous to mention.
“Emerging from the ashes of the near annihilation of our party in the governorship election of 2022 and the general election earlier this year, we should rise up and renew our strength and reclaim our place in the political firmament in Osun.
“We have been at this juncture before, after the 2003 election in which our party lost the stakes and was at its nadir in the state. At that point, likeminded progressives under the banner of Oranmiyan emerged to begin a movement that mobilised our members and the people of the state into a veritable electoral machine that won the 2007 governorship election which ushered an epoch making two term administration in the state and handed over to a successor from our party,” Ogbeni Aregbesola stated.
Ogbeni Aregbesola stated that it is clear the people have not rejected the progressives in Osun, giving the warm reception accorded to his tendency; they were only unhappy with the managers of the party at that time.
“Given the enthusiastic and heartfelt reception accorded us by the people anytime we are in the state, it is clear that they did not reject us or our party. They are only not well pleased with the individuals who have turned our party to personal fiefdom and abandoned the path of progressivism and the interest of the people.
“Our party failed principally because of indiscipline and lack/loss of focus. This is manifested in form of lack of character and incompetence. Character is the mental and moral qualities required in an individual to occupy certain office or perform certain task. Competence is the skill required to get specific task done. It is bad when one of the two is absent, but it is always catastrophic when both are absent. It is beyond disputation how the absence of these virtues spelt doom for our party in the recent past.
“These virtues are integral to the Omoluabi ethos in Yoruba belief system. When we were at the helm here, we not only lived this ethos, we made conscious effort to revive and promote it among the generality of the people of the state. We should therefore consciously return to this path of rectitude and distinguish ourselves as Omoluabi in its most pristine form,” Ogbeni Aregbesola charged members of the newly formed caucus.
After the formal launch of the caucus, the group adopted its charter which includes; Progressivism, Omoluabi Ethos, Discipline, Competence and Inclusivity as its core values.
Members of the caucus are drawn from each ward of the 332 wards in the state and were represented by five members each from each of the local governments in the state.
