The President General of Orisun Igbomina, Chief Gbenga Awoyale, has disclosed that in democracy the opposition has as a great role to play stressing that we can't wait until 2019 to play such roles.

"2015 elections has came and gone but the legacies, effects and memories it left behind will remain for another four years if not forever. Posterity will never forget people like us for we have done extremely well to break the shackles of dictatorship, socio-political slavery, nepotism, poverty and one man show.

"Though, some gluttons, gullible, and anti-progress fellows succeeded in sabotaging our collective selfless efforts, yet forever we shall remain a winner because we see from our own lens, we think from our reasoning faculty, we didn't compromise our beliefs, we stand tall against the hegemony that bends on defining our way of life via politics."

"I'm so happy to have came across refined minds like you, we shall live long to see a better Kwara of our dream where the voice of the masses will be louder, clearer and sweeter than that of a dealer and his cohorts."

He also admonished the governor elect and current of Kwara State, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed to endeavour to justify the confidence reposed in him by election him for a second term in office.

While commending the doggedness courage of all those who stood by the party during the struggle he called on supporters in the sojourn and assured them of his continuous commitment and steadfastness until Kwara State attain Its desired economic status.
