It read, “Besides your capacity as the Secretary to the Osun State Government; you are the highest state political leader from our Federal Constituency and well regarded as a reliable and trusted personality that can make a case for the nomination of a commissioner from Orolu Local Government.
“Please understand that Orolu has many credible, experienced and committed people that have contributed to the Peoples Democratic Party electoral victory and her legal representation can fit as a utility candidate for any portfolio.
“We will ever appreciate your commitment, interest and contribution towards actualizing this noble request for Commissioner slot and deserved recognition; especially that we have been denied for the past 12 years.”
