Ahead of Saturday governorship election, a political group has embarked on door-to-door campaign in Ayedire Local Government of Osun State to mobilise support for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO).
The group under the aegis of Peculiar Peoples Progress, also distributed cash and food to over 200 households in the council.
The convener of the group, Mrs. Ige Adeyanju, said exercise is to ensure victory for AMBO, hence they embarked on door-to-door campaign and also shared food with cash to members of APC at the grassroot.
She said, ‘The gesture is a usual way reaching out to the people but for this phase, beneficiaries are members of the APC who will mobilise support for AMBO.’
Adeyanju said the event afforded the group to remind people of the need to participate in the Saturday governorship election.
‘it is just to appreciate our people for their loyalty, because despite the waves here and there, they remain steadfast and they are giving us their full support. So, just to appreciate them and let them know that we see them, and to appreciate them.
‘We did it for 200 women to empower them. And you know women hold the house. They are the builder of the nation, and we have belief on this on our AMBO, because he is a man of the woman. He promised women many things in Osun State.’
Adeyanju expressed optimism that the entire local government will be delivered to Oyebamiji because the women will influence their husband, children and dependants.
She promised that the administration of Oyebamiji will prioritise the wellbeing of women if elected.
‘Our leaders in this town gave us the assurance that there will be no hidden agenda on this. The administration that is coming will be an open one.’
