Supporters of President Bola Tinubu trooped out in their hundreds in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to mobilise support for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Munirudeen Oyebamiji, in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
The mobilisation, organised by the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in the state, took off at the popular Ayetoro Junction and proceeded through Igbona, Old Garage and Olaiya-Ayetoro Road, as supporters sang and mobilised support for the APC candidate.
Speaking with journalists during the roadshow, the coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Oluomo Sunday Akere, expressed optimism that the APC candidate would win the contest convincingly on Saturday.
His words: “Our coming out today is to show our support and commitment towards the victory of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, the candidate of the APC, on Saturday. What we have here today is the Renewed Hope Ambassadors’ structure in Osun, mobilising support and telling the people of Osun that it is time for change.
“Come Saturday, August 15, the people of Osun will vote en masse for the APC and for our candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, who, by the grace of God, will become the next governor.
“Well, you can see the support of the people. The people of Osun want us, they love us, and they desire change. They know that what we have been witnessing in the last almost three and a half to four years is nothing but mediocrity,” Akere posited.
Also speaking, the Director of Security for the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Osun, Amos Adekunle Victor, called for a violence-free and peaceful election, adding that everybody should come out and vote.
“Security will be provided for everybody that needs to come and vote.
“Rest assured that it’s going to be peaceful. Security will be there, the votes will be counted, and the votes will count,” he assured.
An Osun resident, Adebowale Azeem, who spoke with LEADERSHIP in Osogbo, said it was evident that the people of Osun were ready for the election.
Also speaking, Dr. Romoke Abiola said AMBO should expect the full support of the women of Osun, saying, “We will come out and vote in 30 local government areas and one area office in Osun State, solidarising and casting our votes for a productive and resourceful man whom we have been waiting for.”
