Osun Poll: Oyebamiji Predicts Victory, Calls for Proactive Security Measures

The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Osun State governorship election, Bola Oyebamiji, has declared his confidence in winning the ongoing election.

Oyebamiji made the declaration after voting at Ward 9, Polling Unit 011, Gantry Area, Ikire, in Irewole Local Government Area.

He praised voters in Ikire for turning out in large numbers, noting that their presence at the polling units indicated that they were not deterred by fears surrounding the election.

“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,” he said.

Addressing concerns over the possibility of violence in Ikire, Oyebamiji called on the police and other security personnel to take proactive steps to protect voters and maintain peace throughout the exercise.

“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, Oyebamiji said the police should be allowed to carry out their responsibilities 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.
