Osun By Election Critical To APC In South West– Oyegun
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun, has described Osun state as a major strength of the party in the South-West, hence the Osun-West Senatorial District by-election is critical to the party.
Oyegun, who led other national officers of the APC to campaign for the APC candidate for Osun-West Senatorial District by-election, Senator Mudasiru Hussain, at a mega rally held in Iwo Thursday, said Osun people have demonstrated their love and support for the party through their votes.
The APC chairman urged the people of Osun-West to vote for Hussain in the July 8 by-election, stating that Osun would have a front seat at the senate if the APC candidate emerged victorious at the poll.
Oyegun, who described Governor Rauf Aregbesola as a “tough governor”, urged the people of the state to continue supporting the APC at the state and national levels.
Speaking at the rally which was attended by Governors of Borno and Kebbi States, Kazeem Shettima and Atiku Bagudu respectively, Aregbesola alleged that the opposition parties were planning to buy votes, urging APC supporters to be vigilant.
Aregbesola charged the voters to report anybody who offers them money for vote on the day of election to security agents on duty, just as he urged the people to come out and vote for, and secure victory for the APC.
