Mr Adegboyega Oyetola on Thursday inaugurated the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Osun state in Osogbo.
Oyetola , who is the immediate past Governor of Osun state, is also the State Coordinator, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council.
He has asked the newly-inaugurated members of the PCC to begin to intensify efforts towards ensuring a total victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Alhaji Kashim Shettima and other APC candidates in the forthcoming general election.
Oyetola’s media office in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that he reiterated that Osun state people will ensure that the party’s candidate for the presidential election, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu gets over one million votes in the state asserting that the two people on the APC presidential ticket will help to turn around Nigeria’s fortunes.
Inaugurating members of the Council, at the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Office in Osogbo, Oyetola said no stone would be left unturned to ensure that Tinubu and Shettima as well as candidates of the party for the national and state assemblies elections earn victory.
Oyetola noted that the country is in dire need of a competent candidate like Tinubu to build on the gains of the current administration and drive the nation’s potential for socioeconomic growth and development of the country.
He noted that ‘there is no room for experimentation’ in respect of who should be the nation’s next president at this critical time in the history of Nigeria, hence the need to elect Tinubu whose political pedigree, good, responsible and responsive governance antecedents are second to none.
Oyetola, who described the Tinubu/Shettima presidential ticket as divine, said it is worthy of note that the team is powered by tested and trusted hands as it offers a renewed hope for all in all sectors, ensures today and assures tomorrow for all and sundry.
‘Asiwaju is a pathfinder and a leader par excellence. Once he identifies a problem, he not only solves it, but also comes up with institutional framework to ensure such a problem does not occur again.
For instance, to tackle perennial flooding, he dredged the Atlantic Ocean, reclaimed the land and created the Eko Atlantic City where you have various economic activities going on there today.
Our Presidential candidate is not only a problem solver, he is a genius, a roadmap designer and an implementor, who out of little or nothing, turned around the socioeconomic fortunes of Lagos State.
Additionally, the team is the only one that has the required capacity and political wherewithal to reposition Nigeria by building on the gains of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration’ he said.
While urging members of the party to remain resolute, united and unperturbed, Oyetola expressed delight in the firmness of the party’s structure and commitment of the leadership and members of the APC in the State, saying it is a signal to the fact that the party remains the most popular anytime and any day in Osun.
He commended party loyalists for their unalloyed support, loyalty in the face of daunting challenges, and for continuing to remain resolute to the cause of progressivism especially since the July 16 governorship election in the State.
‘Considering the love and support the people of Osun have shown us and our party on July 16 and even afterwards, I have no doubt in my mind that our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), remains a party to beat in Osun.
As members and stakeholders who have resolved to work for the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Alhaji Kashim Shettima and other candidates of our great party, the APC in the February and March polls, we must intensify our efforts and ensure that no stone is left unturned.
At this critical time in the history of Nigeria, there is no room for experimentation when it comes to who should be our next president.
Considering Tinubu and Shettima’s political pedigree, good, responsible and responsive governance antecedents, there is no doubt that the cap fits them’ he added.
Earlier, the acting State APC Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, had urged party loyalists to begin door-to-door campaign and mobilize people to come out in large numbers to vote for APC candidates and ensure victory for the party.
Lawal ,who described the emergence of Tinubu as presidential candidate as a round peg in the round hole, said the time has come for all lovers of good governance to get him elected.
Speaking in the same vein, Speaker, Osun state House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye expressed confidence in God that Oyetola would be victorious and returned as Osun Governor while Tinubu would also be elected as next president of the country.
Owoeye ,who described the outcome of the July 16, 2022 Osun governorship as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as a temporary setback, said God would soon return Oyetola back to government house for a second term before July this year.
He urged party loyalists to embark on unit-based campaigns across the State saying no effort must be spared to ensure victory for all the party’s candidates in the upcoming general election.
‘In 2019, the Supreme Court gave its final verdict on July 5, affirming the victory of Oyetola as the governor. If you know them, go and tell them that before July 5, 2023 , Oyetola will be returned as Osun Governor.
They thought they could manipulate the election results in their favour, but we thank God that the results of the Bimodal Voter’s Accreditation System (BVAS) exposed them.
So, please, the presidential election is very important to us and we want you to begin to mobilize our people to vote massively for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima and other candidates of our party’ he said.
In their separate remarks, former Deputy Governor, Mrs Titilayo-Laoye Ponle; former Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole; former Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan among others urged party supporters and loyalists to remain resolute in the collective quest to ensure a total victory for the party in the upcoming general election- Team@orientactualmags.com
