When a horse is<br \/>\ndead, it is either you abandon it or you bury it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want my good friend and brother to know that PDP has exhausted it\u2019s<br \/>\nstay in Nigeria, it can no longer be revived, let us look at a political<br \/>\nparty that will give hope to our people. Opposition must be for a purpose,<br \/>\nI stand by you on the unity of Yoruba land and that our leaders not put<br \/>\ndown in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe war is over, we are in a season of mobilising our people to<br \/>\nagriculture and produce such that we will economically have the strength<br \/>\nto give leadership to the Nation and Africa. Our energy must be directed<br \/>\nat bringing human and physical development, we have enough in this region<br \/>\nto give leadership\u201d. Aregbesola stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He assured Fayose that he will stand by him in his effort to galvanise the<br \/>\npeople of South-west for accelerated development.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor who lamented the present economic situation of the country<br \/>\nnoted that there is an invasion on the economy of Nigeria to the extent<br \/>\nthat the country is loosing 75 percent of her income due to oil glut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe country is facing a very serious crises with the rate at which the<br \/>\ncrude oil price is falling. There is an invasion on the economy to the<br \/>\nlevel that we are loosing 75 percent of our income which is not good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, wise people must have an alternative to oil which part of<br \/>\nit is your visit. We must use our culture and affinity to form a bond that<br \/>\ncan make our people live a normal life, it is a duty that we owe our<br \/>\npeople, States and Nigeria as a whole\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking earlier, Governor Fayose stated that against all speculations<br \/>\nthat he was coming to Osogbo to ask Aregbesola help him beg President<br \/>\nMuhammadu Buhari, he was in Osun for the unity of Yoruba race.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Yoruba race is greater than any political office hence<br \/>\nhis belief in the development of the race.<\/p>\n<p>The governor averred that the visit of the Ooni of Ife to the 45th<br \/>\ncoronation of the Alaafin of Oyo is instructive hence the need for every<br \/>\nYoruba sons and daughters to see to the unity and progress of the race.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThis is my first official visit to any APC state in Nigeria. I<br \/>\nam not in Osogbo to ask Aregbesola to help me beg as being speculated in<br \/>\nsome quarters. We are all Yoruba, politics is like water, it can flow<br \/>\nanywhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe in the Yoruba race, the race comes first before the office of<br \/>\nthe governor. The race is eternal while that of governor is momentary. We<br \/>\nmust watch today to be guided by <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_493641798\"><span class=\"aQJ\">tomorrow<\/span><\/span>.
