From Lateef Dada, Osogbo
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has reiterated that its relationship with the Accord remains intact.
The party’s governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, made this known on Saturday during a massive statewide rally held in Osogbo, the state capital.
The rally procession moved from the Stadium through Ayotoro, Igbona, Old Garage and Olaiya, before finally terminating at the party secretariat in Ogo-Oluwa.
Speaking at the end of the trek, Oyebamiji noted that the massive turnout was a clear signal that the party’s target of two million votes for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in Osun was entirely achievable.
“The essence of this event is to sensitise our people and prepare them to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our President, and all our candidates in the APC.
“You can see the crowd. This is a show of strength. It is fantastic, massive, and entirely organic, not an imported crowd. This is to tell the whole of Nigeria that Osun is ready, and re-electing our President is non-negotiable,” Oyebamiji said.
Addressing political alliances, Oyebamiji added: “We have a good relationship with Accord. Of course, they are welcome anytime, any day, and we are going to work together.”
