Service, Mr Sunday Owoeye, at the popular audience participation programme for
the governor of Osun, tagged Ogbeni Till Daybreak, held at the WOCDIF Center,
Osogbo on Saturday 06-05-2017 An analysis of the various editions of the
program which cumulated at 91.5kilometres show that the governor started the
program in Osogbo the state capital on 18/2/12 walking with a huge crowd
through a total of 5.8 km. Two other editions of Walk-to-Live held in Osogbo
with 4.8 km and 5.2 km respectively before the next edition held in Iwo on
Saturday 14/4/2012 with the governor walking 5.6km. The rest of the editions show
Ile-Ife (6.8km), Ila-Orangun (6km), Ikire (5.8km), Ilesa (5.2km),
Ikirun/Iragbiji (5.8km), Ede (6.2km), Ejigbo (4.8km), Ijebu Jesa (6.2km),

Aregbesola, who stated that the “walk-to-live” programme with the people will
be revived soon, explained that the feat has only been beaten by the former
Chinese leader, Chairman Mao Tse Tong and and the late Cuban revolutionary
leader, Fidel Castro. He said the walk with the people of Osun shows that there
can be a government that has so much faith in the people, stressing that for a
leader or governor in Africa to walk freely with the people in their community
goes a long way to show that the people have ample reasons to be connected to such
a leader. “It is amazing to know that I have walked a total number of 95.1
kilometers with the people of this great state right in their corridors and
immediate communities for the promotion of physical fitness and healthy living
as preparation for high productivity. “It goes a long way to show that this
government is in firm connection with the people of Osun and it also portrays
the fact that our people have so much faith and confidence in us. “We are the
first government in Osun to take the health of the people seriously to the
extent of having a healthy walk with them. “It is interesting to know that the
feat of walking a total distance of 95.1 kilometers directly and closely with
the people has only been beaten by just two leaders in the world. “The only two
individuals that did more than us in history are Chairman Mao and Fidel Castro.
” Chairman Mao of China, who during the coastal revolution, moved with his
people across the entire China to mobilise the people for his revolution and
the second was Fidel Castro of Cuba that marched from Siamedra in the Eastern
part of Cuba to Havana. “Outside those two individuals, count me as the only
head of a government in Africa that had moved with the people to cover as much
as 95.1kilometer of roads. “I own the record and I will still continue. “It
speaks so much about our administration. It means we are in connection with the
people. It means they have faith in us. It means they love us and appreciate
all our social interventions in the state,”Aregbesola explained. The governor,
who promised that the walk with the people, will be revived again stressed that
the aim of the walk is to create a complete man, who is physically fit, healthy
and sound mentally so as to increase the production drive of the state. He reminded
the gathering that the 95.1kilometer he did with the people in different towns
across the state does not include the three times he walked from Okeijetu/St
Charles to Nelson Madela Park with members of the Osun Youth Empowerment
Scheme, OYES. The Governor explained that he embarked on the walk with the
youths so as to build in them the fitness for productivity, noting that it is
interesting that the people joined the walk with pump and pageantry because
they love their governor. “Let me also remind you that the 95.1kilometers walk
I had with the people in different towns across the state does not include the
three times I walked with our OYES cadets from Okeijetu/St Charles to Nelson
Madela Park. “Yes, I walked three times with the youths along the streets of
Osogbo and they loved it and they were excited to see their governor walking
with them along their streets. “You could feel the excitement and joy on their
faces. It was so because they are happy with us and we also had the confidence
to walk with them on the streets just because we know that we are doing what
they elected us to do.
