The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Oyebamiji, has expressed strong optimism of securing victory in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
Speaking to journalists shortly after casting his ballot at Unit 11, Ward 9, Open Space Gantry in Ikire, Oyebamiji commended the efficient conduct of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and the heavy presence of security operatives.
“INEC is here, voters are here, and security operatives are here,” Oyebamiji said. “I want to commend the large turnout of voters in Ikire; it shows that people are not intimidated, and generally, things are going on fine across the state.”
Addressing potential security concerns regarding rumored violence in Ikire later in the day, the APC candidate called on the police and other security agencies to remain proactive in safeguarding citizens and voters to ensure a credible process.
Reacting to the recent arrest of a politician linked to electoral mercenaries in the area, Oyebamiji expressed trust in the legal and investigative process, adding, “I want to assure you that the police will do their job, and I am confident that I will win this election at the end of the day.”
