"Naija @ 52" Aregbesola shuns Independence celebration
Osun State Government yesterday did not celebrate the 52nd anniversary of Nigeria’s independence in the state. Meanwhile, Governor Rauf Aregbesola had just before the country’s independence anniversary, returned from an overseas trip, which made people think that the event would be celebrated in the state.
Although, no reason was given by the government for its action, Daily Sun, however, gathered that the decision might not be unconnected with the posture of the present administration on some Federal Government’s policies. Daily Sun survey showed that none of the civil society groups or even the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that used to mark the anniversary with public lectures did so for reasons not revealed. Many residents of the state stayed indoors throughout the day to mark the public holiday declared by the Federal Government.
Meanwhile, residents of Osogbo, the state capital and some other towns in the state yesterday celebrated Nigeria’s independence without power, as the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) did not supply them electricity.
