Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo ( SAN), National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams
Oshiomhole, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and some governors of the ruling party stormed
Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Thursday to solicit votes for the
governorship candidate of the party, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola.
Oshiomole, while canvassing
for votes for Oyetola, said the APC candidate was the best among those seeking
to succeed Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
He said Aregbesola’s
administration in the spate of eight years had brought unprecedented
development to the state.
Oshiomhole noted that
Oyetola, who had been a key member of the administration, was the best to take
over from his principal in order to continue with the development agenda.
The APC chairman said,
“Osun people should remember how the state was eight years ago. I used to come
and organise workers’ protest here and I know how it was eight years ago.
“Aregbesola’s
administration in the spate of eight years achieved unprecedented development
to the state.
“No one can help you to
govern if you don’t have the skills and the capacity to do that. Our candidate,
Gboyega Oyetola, is a successful businessman and has worked as a loyal Chief of
Staff to Governor Aregbesola. We are not presenting an apprentice to you but a trusted
and tested man and we ask you to vote for him.”
Tinubu also described
Oyetola as a reliable person, with a mandate to reclaim the mandate of
Aregbesola and liberate Osun.
