Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, has said that the massive votes the party will receive in the November 16, 2024, governorship election in Ondo State will shock the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Mr Oyintiloye, who is a member of the APC National Campaign Stakeholders Engagement Committee for the election, said this while speaking with journalists on Sunday, November 3, 2024, in Osogbo.
The party chieftain, while noting that Ondo is a progressive state, said the election would not be an exception, as APC is poised to record a landslide victory.
Mr Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), said that the party’s candidate, Lucky Ayedatiwa, is a man of vision, and had achieved a lot through people’s oriented programmes.
He said that Ondo State had witnessed a steady transformation in areas of health, education, agriculture, infrastructure, and rural community development, among others, within the 10 months that Mr Ayedatiwa assumed office as the governor of Ondo State.
He added that close to eight years that the APC has governed Ondo State, the state has witnessed unprecedented transformation developments.
Mr Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, urged the electorate to come out en mass to give massive votes to APC to shock the opposition parties as a confirmation of the quality leadership of the incumbent governor.
“That is no doubt, the election is going to be free, fair and peaceful, and APC will win with a clear-cut margin.“The electorate will never allow the state to go backwards, and that is why they will come out peacefully to vote for APC.
“There is no magic about it. APC will win massively, and the opposition parties will be shocked.
“Our committee, under the leadership of Gov Abdullahi Sule of Nassarawa State, will approach the task ahead of us with due diligence,” he said.
Mr Oyintiloye, however, appealed to the electorate to be peaceful and orderly before and after the election.
He said the election should not be seen as a do-or-die affair, adding that all political gladiators in the election should abide by the rules of the game.
