The Governor disclosed that all efforts made to assist Iwo politically were thwarted by Alhaji Adeoti.

Governor Aregbesola said that shortly after the demise of the late Senator Isiaka Adetunji  Adeleke , he called Alhaji Adeoti to offer Iwo the slot for the vacant Senatorial seat but without making any consultation, the erstwhile SSG declined the offer saying that what Iwo wanted was governorship.

Aregbesola explained that being a Senator would have put Iwo in a better position to go for the governorship, adding that all efforts made to enlighten him proved abortive.

Addressing the huge crowd that thronged the rally asked rhetorically “who is to blame?
