Gboyega Oyetola, governor of Osun, says he will be
reelected.
Speaking with journalists after voting on Saturday, Oyetola
said the people are “conscious” and see the need to participate in the process.
The governor said once the process is transparent, there
would not be a need to ask people to vote.
“The election is going smoothly. It is important to deplore
the machine so as to ensure that the voting process can be completed within the
time frame,” he said.
“I have seen the
presence of the security. I think they are doing well. I see the enthusiasm the
voters are displaying and I am particularly grateful to them.
“I believe people are conscious of the need to participate
in the process. Once the process is transparent enough, people will not be
persuaded to vote. There won’t be voter apathy. It is indeed very impressive.
“By the grace of the Almighty God, I am confident I will be
reelected.”
Earlier, on his social media pages, Oyetola asked the people
to be resolute in voting.
“Let me in particular, appeal to members and supporters of
our great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to exercise their civic rights
peacefully,” he said.
“Be resolute to cast your vote. However, portray yourselves
and the party in the best possible form of comportment and orderliness. I
equally urge other political gladiators to promote peace and tranquillity. Our
peaceful coexistence supersedes any political ambition.”
Oyetola is up against Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Yusuff Lasun, candidate of the Labour Party
(LP).
