Dr. Saliu Oyelami
Barely twelve days to the Osun State governorship election, as campaigns continue to gather momentum across the state, the governorship candidate of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Dr. Saliu Oyelami Orisunlagba, has called on eligible voters to come out en masse on August 15 and vote for him, describing himself as the most competent among all the candidates contesting the election.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo, the medical doctor said the forthcoming election presents an opportunity for the people of Osun State to determine the future of the state through the ballot box.
Dr. Oyelami urged voters to reject violence and intimidation, stressing that elections are won with votes, not through threats or force. He appealed to the electorate to choose competence, credibility, and good leadership by making their voices count at the polls.
The PRP candidate also maintained that no amount of intimidation would stop the people from exercising their democratic rights, expressing confidence that the electorate would vote according to their conscience.
He further called on the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to provide adequate security before, during, and after the election to ensure a peaceful, free, fair, and credible electoral process.
Dr. Oyelami concluded with an appeal to the electorate, saying, “Vote for the most competent candidate. Vote, and not fight.”
