Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State has made open boasts that the All Progressives Congress, APC party would be replicating the victory of its candidate in last Saturday’s Ekiti governorship election in Osun State come 16th July which is the date slated for the Osun State Governorship elections.
The Osun State Governor had stated this at his reelection campaign in Iperindo town, Atakumosa East Local Government Area of the state.
Oyetola, while appealing to the electorate to vote for him and the APC, urged them not to allow themselves to be deceived by the opposition parties.
“Are you not happy about our victory in Ekiti, both states are from the same region and our party will excel more than the results of the Ekiti election,” the Governor who appealed to the electorate not to sell their votes at the July 16 governorship election said
He told them that selling of one’s vote can amount to selling one’s future for a piece meal. The governor also urged the electorate to collect their Permanent Voter Cards, which he described as their power to reelect him.
” Please if you have not collected your PVC, ensure you do so from tomorrow.
“It is not proper for members of our party not to have PVC.
“Don’t allow the opposition to deceive you. They don’t have anything to offer you and don’t sell your vote, doing so will amount to selling your future”, he said.
The governor also said that APC would replicate in Osun, the same victory it secured for its candidate in Ekiti.
He said: ” I trust in God for the forthcoming election and you need to vote for us.
“Are you not happy about our victory in Ekiti, both states are from the same region and our party will excel more than the results of the Ekiti election.
“Let us work toward that and pray. Don’t panic but rather, let’s continue to work and pray for our victory,” he said.
In his remarks, the Director-General of Oyetola Campaign Organisation, Sen. Ajibola Bashiru, appealed to all party members to embark on house to house campaign for the reelection of the governor.
Bashiru said that the excellent performances of the governor in all sectors would secure his victory at the poll.
