Ahead of February 19, Osun Governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the State governor, Gboyega Oyetola and two others aspirants appeared before the party screening Committee on Thursday.
Those screened along with Governor Oyetola were former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Yusuff Sulaimon Lasun and former Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti.
Speaking with newsmen, Governor Oyetola said he was confident of winning the primary and earning a fresh mandate in the election scheduled for July 16, 2022, as he noted that the electorate in the South West state was impressed with his performance.
He said:” Let me say this, my performance in office as I speak today is enough for me to win the primary in the party and to win the election in all areas of endeavour, in the area of infrastructure, Health, Education, Security and the economy.
“That means by every standard, we have done so well. So given the fact that within the last three and a half years I have been able to justify the confidence reposed in me by the people.
“I have been very much involved in the party, right from the time of AD till date. I’m not a novice when it comes to the issue of party. If my performance speaks for me and that is good and fine.”
When asked how prepared he was, Oyetola said: “I have been going round to talk to members of the party in all the local governments. As of yesterday out of thirty, we have visited about eighteen of the local government areas and we will continue with the strategic engagements starting from tomorrow (Friday). So that is to show you the fact that I don’t want to take anything for granted.
“This is an election that is among members of the party so I will need their endorsement to be able to fly the flag of the party. I have been going around to ask for the support of the members of the party in all the local governments of the state. So I’m prepared.”
