Ondo guber: APC massive votes will shock PDP — Party chieftain

Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun has said the record massive votes and support the party will receive in the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo will shock the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other opposition parties in the state.

Oyintiloye, a member of the APC national campaign stakeholders engagement committee for the election, said this while speaking with newsmen on Sunday, in Osogbo.

The party chieftain, who noted that Ondo is a Progressives state, said that the November 16 election would not be an exception, as APC is poised to record a landslide victory.

Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) said that the party’s candidate, Lucky Ayedatiwa, is a man of vision, who had achieved a lot through his people’s oriented policies and programmes.

He said that Ondo had witnessed a steady transformation in areas of health, education, agriculture, infrastructure, and rural community development, among others, within the shortest time, Ayedatiwa assumed office.

Oyintiloye said that in close to eight years that the APC had governed Ondo, the state had experienced transformation in an unprecedented manner.

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 backward, 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 His Excellency, Gov Abdullahi Sule of Nassarawa State, will approach the task ahead with due diligence,” he said.

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 all political gladiators in the election should abide by the rules of the game.
