#OsunDecides: I’m confident of winning — Oyebamiji

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Oyebamiji, has expressed optimism about his chances of emerging victorious in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.

Oyebamiji spoke shortly after casting his ballot at Ward 9, Polling Unit 011, in Ikire, Irewole Local Government Area of the state.

He also commended the high turnout of voters in Ikire, saying their participation showed that residents were not intimidated by concerns surrounding the election.

He said: “INEC officials are here, the voters are here, security operatives are here. 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.”

Reacting to concerns about possible violence in Ikire, Oyebamiji urged the police and other security agencies to remain proactive in protecting voters and maintaining peace throughout the electoral process.

“I want to admonish the police and other security operatives to be proactive to ensure security for our people and all the voters, and I believe the election would be credible,” he said.

On the reported arrest of a politician, the APC candidate said he expected security personnel to perform their duties professionally.

“I want to be sure that the police would do their job. I am confident that I’d win this election at the end of the day,” he said.
