This was a time when Roads and other infrastructure in your care were evenly and massively distributed that so many a time you were described as the best commissioner. All these we recalled because you have done well, still doing well and you have not run away from your pact with the ordinary people of Nigeria,the oppressed and the poor.
You have maintained over time your continuous accessibility to all, low and Noble without any discrimination.
This has seperated you from those who became commissioners, Governors and ministers and there and then became unaccessible. This great virtue,quality and conducts of yours must be emulated by others in position of authority. They must see and learn from your example that power is indeed responsibility not only to the elites but also to the downtrodden. Yours have been attested to by low and mighty".

" We thank Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,president Buhari and the Osun people by extension the Yorubas for bringing this great man to limelight.We also thank them for the belief they have in him. Without these mentioned people, nobody would have known that there is Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola anywhere ,whose capacity ,confidence and records are unbeatable of recent. We therefore pray for ogbeni Aregbesola,the man called Oranmiyan to live long and enjoy the fruit of his labour while also praying that Nigeria of his dream will be accomplished".
