A political group, Osun Ajose, on Saturday presented the All Progressives Congress governorship nomination form to the former deputy governor of Osun State, Benedict Alabi.
The group, led by Mr Moruf Adekunle while presenting the form which it bought to Alabi at his residence in Osogbo, on Saturday, said the former deputy governor is the most qualified among the aspirants seeking the gubernatorial ticket of the APC.
One of the group members, Opeyemi Badmus, who spoke on behalf of the group leader, described Alabi as a unifier who will take Osun to a new height.
Badmus said, “We have been in the progressive movement for a while, and when our leader, Benedict Alabi, was the deputy governor of Osun State, we were together, and he did wonderfully well, especially for the youth.
“He is a bridge builder. He is someone who prioritises the future of the youth. We have seen him as a leader par excellence, and we believe that what we can do to support his ambition is to purchase the form for him.
“We know he is the only unifier among the aspirants, and we believe that when he becomes the governor by God’s grace, Osun will progress.”
In his speech, Alabi said his ambition to become the governor was born out of a deep-seated and enduring commitment to the progress of Osun State and the welfare of the residents.
Alabi while appreciating Osun Ajose for the trust reposed in him, said he is the most qualified among the aspirants under the APC.
He said: “I want to appreciate Osun Ajose. My decision to contest is not born of a fleeting ambition, but from a deep-seated and enduring commitment to the progress of our state and the welfare of every single one of our people.
“Even if the party said the candidate will be picked through consensus, I will be the chosen person. The party needs a unifier and in all modesty, I believe I am the lead in the pack.”
