Oyetola Campaigns For APC Assembly Candidates In Osun
Barely 72 hours to the 2023 House of Assembly election in Osun state, the immediate past governor of the state, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, has implored residents and citizens to vote massively for the APC candidates in the election in question.
Oyetola urged APC members in the state to remain resolute and mobilize the electorate to vote massively for the party’s candidates.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Oyetola’s media office noted that residents of Ifedayo, Ila, Odo-Otin, Ifelodun, Boripe Local Governments came out in large numbers to welcome the former governor and his entourage at the respective local governments.
Speaking at each ‘campaign stop’ , Oyetola expressed delight that party members and supporters came out in large numbers to attend campaign rallies saying it was a signal to the popularity and wide acceptance that the party enjoys in the state.
He urged the people of the state, particularly the electorate, to see the upcoming House of Assembly election as a child of necessity in view of its importance and relevance to the governorship position.
He tasked the electorate with monitoring their votes and resisting every temptation from any quarters aimed at scuttling or manipulating the process as such resistance would go a long way to entrench a healthy, free, fair, credible and acceptable electoral exercise.
Oyetola, who urged the leadership of the party and members to begin a house-to-house, door-to-door and community-to-community campaigns for the success of the party’s flag-bearers said necessary supports within the ambit of the law would be made available to them.
He lamented the spate of sponsored-incessant attacks on members of the APC as well as, the ubiquitous violence that had been unleashed on the innocent residents of the state in the last three months.
He assured the people of the state of a new dawn and better days ahead before, during and after the election.
Oyetola further called on Osun state people, particularly members of his party, not to panic or be intimidated as adequate security will be put in place to ensure a hitch-free electoral process in the state
He also restated his belief in God that he will emerge victorious in the ongoing governorship election litigation, saying the efficacy of prayers had been his guiding principles all along.
‘I am happy to be here. By the grace of God, I will construct your road as soon as I am returned. It will be easy for us because God has given us the central government. Don’t panic, put your mind at rest, there will be adequate security before, during and after election.
By the grace of God, I will return to power soon. I am just on a short break to rest. God is wonderful and He is a promise-keeper. He will make it a reality for me and by His grace; I will actualize my dream of returning to power.
I want you to see the Saturday House of Assembly election as yours. See it as important as governorship election that we had. Vote massively for our candidates, because they are the ones that will work with me when I return to power. There is no need of opposition in the House of Assembly.
And for the aggrieved members, I want to plead with you to forgive and forget. Let’s put aside our grievances, create room for reconciliation and settle our differences in the interest of unity and togetherness. We are one united family and we must all hold on strongly to the pillar of the party. Whoever that has offended us in one way or the other, please, let us forgive ourselves. We should avoid anti- party activities. It is dangerous and it doesn’t befit us.
Even if I am the one, kindly forgive me and vote for our candidates. Don’t be induced by anything whatsoever. Allowing this can only mortgage the future. Don’t sell your vote. We are the people that can do better for Osun. We have done it before and by the grace of God when we return; we shall replicate same.
We are all aware of what we experienced in the last presidential and national assembly elections. But I want you to know that what they did last time can’t replicate itself. Nobody has touched them, they have started crying foul. If you look at the numbers of those that were killed by political hoodlums, it is a sign that they mean nothing for us other than violence.
Over 20 people have been murdered. Are they not human beings? It is unfortunate that Osun that used to be the most peaceful state before has become a war zone. But I can assure you that such will not happen this time around. There will be adequate security in the next election.
I am imploring you to come out en masse on the Election Day, pray God for our success and ensure that you monitor your vote. We should all be watchful and vigilant on the Election Day. Ensure that you speak out against over voting at the polling places. Make sure that it is everybody that comes to vote that is accredited before voting. That is the area they want to hide and they are already exposed.
I am happy to see large number of our party members here and there. By the grace of God, we will be returned for another four years and I can assure you that every member of our party will not labour in vain.
We thank God that we were able to fulfill our electoral promises in our first four years, and I promise that, by the grace of God, and as soon as we return, we will do more than what we have done before and ensure that everyone benefits in one way or the other’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
