We expect at least 1.2m votes for Tinubu in Osun, Oyetola tells APC youths

Gboyega Oyetola, governor of Osun, says he expects youths in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to deliver at least 1.2 million votes for the party in the 2023 presidential election.

He said this on Thursday while addressing APC youths in the state.

The youths had organised a “solidarity walk” for Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the APC, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.

Oyetola, who addressed the youths while speaking Yoruba, said the APC presidential candidate has an impressive track record which makes him the best for the presidency.

“We have confidence in Tinubu’s capabilities. The least we should get should be 1.2 million votes,” he told the youths.

He also said Tinubu has what it takes to deliver on issues such as improved security and stable electricity, and urged the youths not to allow themselves be deceived.

“As many of you who have participated in this rally, the advantage is that we all come out to support with our votes,” he said.

“Those who have not collected their PVCs should endeavour to do so. There is opportunity to collect PVCs now.

“Don’t allow yourselves to be deceived. Tinubu has performed better than all other candidates.”

Meanwhile, Oyetola, who had sought re-election as governor of Osun, lost the July 16 governorship election to Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adeleke secured 403, 371 votes to defeat Oyetola, his closest challenger, who polled 375,027 votes.
