Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, at the weekend renamed the Freedom Park, Osogbo, after the former South African President and freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela.
Aregbesola, while responding to his endorsement for second term in office by the local government council bosses in the state, said that he renamed the park after Nelson Mandela because Mandela represents freedom and equal opportunity.
While describing Mandela as a symbol of anything that is good, Aregbesola said that his death was a great loss to the entire African continent.
Aregbesola, while addressing the crowd at the park, expressed gratitude for the endorsement and recognition of his efforts to place the state on the global map through infrastructure development.
