Osun State governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has reminded the people of the state of the urgent need for change as the only necessary antidote to the nation’s political and socio-economic hardship.
In a statement by the Director, Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, the governor emphasised the need to return the nation to path of greatness by voting for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 28 presidential election.
Aregbesola spoke during a round-off campaign for the APC candidates from presidential to the state House of Assembly positions.
The governor, in company with the former governor of the state, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, on Tuesday, traversed several towns and local governments in Osun Central senatorial districts, flanked by three senatorial candidates in the state, nine House of Representatives and 28 House of Assembly candidates.
Some of the towns the campaign train visited include Oba-Ile, Oba-Oke in Olorunda Local Government; Eko-Ende, Eko-Ajala in Ifelodun Local Government and Ore, Agbeye, Ekosin in Odo-Otin Local Government.
Aregbesola reminded the crowd at every campaign ground of the need for them to be resolute on how to return the nation to path of progress and development by voting General Muhammadu Buhari on March 28 to rescue the nation from its present doldrums.
He averred that what the country yearns for now was a brave, patriotic and committed leader like Buhari for its dwindling fortunes to stop, contending that “with Buhari as President, the nation will witness tremendous turn around because APC’s programmes are targeted at the mass of Nigerian people”.
“I can assure you that the March 28 election is a crucial one for us. It is an election we in APC intend to use to free the nation from the clutches of politically fickle leaders. Buhari had been tested before. We knew how he once rescued the country from the precipice during the Second Republic.
“Given this antecedent, Buhari is ready again to lead the country out of the woods the 16 years of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has led it into,” Aregbesola remarked.
