Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has said he is not intimidated by alleged federal backing for the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, declaring himself a “bulldozer” ready to face any opposition.
Speaking during the Arise Townhall Meeting in Osogbo on Tuesday, Adeleke said the presence of APC governors campaigning for his opponent would not determine the outcome of the August 15 poll.
“I am a bulldozer. I am not afraid of federal might and governors backing the APC candidate. If they like, they should bring all the governors,” the governor said.
He described the governors supporting the APC candidate as his friends, but insisted they have no votes in Osun.
“Those governors are my friends. I am a civilised administrator. They won’t vote; they can only come and dance, and after the election, we will meet,” Adeleke added.
The governor also dismissed allegations that his administration had militarised the state, saying he lacked the constitutional powers to deploy security forces.
