AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The former Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly under the regime of Chief Adebisi Akande, Hon. Barrister Wale Afolabi, has urged the federal and state lawmakers in the state to ensure that candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerge winners in the forthcoming general elections in the state, AMILOADED reports.
The former Speaker said the landslide victory will reestablish the fact that APC “is fully on ground and that it has firm grip of the state contrary to the spurious and erroneous narratives of the fifth columnists”, adding that such winning streak will be a plus to the strength of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who “is already gaining a sizeable momentum nationwide”.
Afolabi who is the Osun State Coordinator of the Parliamentarians Directorate of the Presidential Campaign Committee of Tinubu/ Shettima 2023 charged members of the committee to double their efforts “as they formed the most important organ of the campaign team as they are all politicians in their own right who are well connected to the people and a set of privileged and distinguished people of the society who had at a time now or before sought votes themselves and understand the terrain of politics in each of their areas better.”
He said this in a statement made available to AMILOADED on Monday.
In a goodwill message delivered on behalf of the South West Regional Director of the Parliamentarians, Hon. Patricia Olubunmi Etteh, who was represented by the Directorate’s Assistant Secretary Hon. Rotimi Makinde, said, “Much is being expected of us as parliamentarians of this south west region.
“We therefore cannot afford not to ensure we return minimum of 80 percent of the total votes of South West for our dear principal, to do just that is for us to work and mobilize like never before, united and to co-opt our colleagues at the grassroots level.
“We cannot take any chance or be complacent on anything that concerns this election. Incidentally, we have a sellable principal in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is well accepted nationwide, very marketable and a candidate who has all it takes to pilot the affair of this nation.
“This is not about tribe, religion but about someone who possess the capacity, sagacity and the right qualities to turn things positive for this great nation,” She said.
Others at the meeting meeting at Osun State presidential campaign office were lawmakers from the 1999 to date who served at both the state and federal level, including Hon Ayo Omidiran, Hon Gafar Ameere, Hon Ipoola Binuyo, Osun Agbeni, Kilomodemo Awolola, and Mudasir Toogun among others.
