The Managing Director of the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority and governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Bola Oyebamiji, has said the people of Osun State are eager for the APC to reclaim power.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Monday, Oyebamiji explained that after touring 21 out of the 30 local government areas of the state, he observed a major infrastructure deficit despite the huge resources available to the present administration.
He said the large turnout at his consultation meetings showed that the APC still enjoyed strong support among the people and had a bright chance of defeating the current government.
“I’ve moved round about twenty-one local governments to consult, and I discovered that there are a lot of infrastructural deficits in Osun State. I want to assure our people that I will address these challenges, especially with the enormous allocation the state currently receives,” Oyebamiji stated.
According to him, the warm reception his team received during the consultations was evidence that the people were ready for a shift back to APC leadership.
“I am seriously encouraged by the readiness of our people. They are prepared to return power to APC. They love my movement, and they want me to take over from the present government. We will not disappoint them; we will work hard to justify their trust,” he added.
On party unity, Oyebamiji stressed that the emergence of a particular candidate would not divide the APC. “By the time our leaders decide on who will run, all aspirants have agreed to work together and support whoever is chosen,” he assured.
