The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the August 15 Osun State Governorship poll, Bola Oyebamiji, has urged the electorate not to sell their votes in the forthcoming poll.
Oyebamiji said rather than commercialise their vote, voters in the state should use their Permanent Voters Cards wisely and use them to elect him as governor.
The APC candidate made the call in Osogbo, on Sunday, at a meeting held with the leadership and members of the Ansar-u-Deen Society in the State.
He stated that if elected as governor, he will redirect the state to the path of growth and development, and said details of his plans had been put in a document that will guide his actions as governor.
“The PVC is an instrument that confers right on each person to have a say in deciding who leads or presides over their affairs for a stipulated period. I am appealing to our people not to commercialise their PVC but use it wisely to vote for someone that has capacity and potential to lead appropriately.
“I am assuring you all that once you vote for me, we will immediately return the state to the path of growth and development. It is in our manifesto the way we will lead you and the state to enviable heights among comity of states in the federation,” Oyebamiji said.
He urged the society to intercede for the state in prayers, adding that residents must allow peace to reign before and after the poll.
He added, “I urged you as congregation, especially religious leaders, to continue to pray for peace and talk to our people to allow peace to reign before and after the election in the State; nobody should be killed for the sake of the election.”
