Osun 22: “I Support APC” – Powerful Monarch Reveals
Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,
A powerful ruler in Yorubaland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, has divulged his intent to deliver more than 90,000 ballots in favour of Gboyega Oyetola, the APC’s candidate for the governor of Osun State.
The King made this announcement following the casting of his vote at Unit 1 Ward 2 in Iwo Town Iwo Local Government.
Recall that he was reported to have earlier made a pledge to deliver for the ruling party and its candidate in the ongoing governorship election in Osun.
The traditional leader noted that he solicited votes for Oyetola because of his brisk payment of salaries and added that kings should be politically active.
In his words, “I am confident of delivering 90,000 votes. It is not easy for the governor to move from the status quo and do what is right. He has been paying full salary. Osun is a civil servant state and the people depend on salaries.
“He has been paying debt inherited and didn’t use the money for frivolities. I have told my people to vote for the APC and they will vote for APC. The governor is doing a great job. I believe the person doing a great job should continue. I want all persons to vote peacefully.”
