The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the August 15 Osun State governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, has urged voters to refrain from selling their votes in the upcoming poll.
He said rather than commercialising their votes, residents should make wise use of their Permanent Voter Cards to elect him as governor.
Oyebamiji made the appeal in Osogbo on Sunday during a meeting with the leadership and members of the Ansar-u-Deen Society in the state.
The former Osun State Commissioner for Finance said that if elected, he would redirect the state towards growth and development, adding that his policy blueprint had already been documented to guide his administration.
The PVC is an instrument that confers right on each person to have a say in deciding who leads or preside 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 reign before and after the election in the State, nobody should be killed for the sake election.
Our people, including politicians should please allow peace, so that our people can throng to the polling units to vote for the progress and development of Osun State.”
Earlier, the Secretary, Ansar-u-Deen Society in Osun State, Hafiz Akande, described Oyebamiji as a listening leader, a devoted family man, and a practicing Muslim who operates with the deep fear of Allah.
Akande said the society remains apolitical but will not abandon any a Muslim interested in public positions.
“Let me state clearly that as a corporate body, ADS remains non-partisan. However, the Society will never rebuke, sideline, or abandon our own who show an active interest in governance. The Society fully recognizes the need to support our members who aspire to positions of authority.
We firmly believe that authority is a sacred trust (Amanah) from Allah, and no one attains it except by His divine permission. Therefore, it is a noble pursuit for our members to strive for leadership with sincerity and competence for the ultimate benefit of the wider society,” Akande said.
Electorate in Osun State will be going to the poll on August 15 to elect a governor in an election where the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party.
Fourteen political parties will be fielding candidates in the poll.
