“I’ve worked 24 hours of every day since I have been voted in as the Governor of Osun State like the Constitution has stipulated.You can see that our party has achieved a lot in the last eight years.”
“By this time next week, we’ll be rejoicing,” he said in hope of the victory of his party at the election.
Apart from Buhari, ministers, legislators, governors and national leaders of the party were in attendance.
Speaking on behalf of the 13 governors at the event, Governor Nasir El- Rufai of Kaduna State pledged the full support of the governors for Oyetola.
“We are here confident that the people of Osun will come out en masse to vote for our party on Saturday,” he said.
The national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, commended the Aregbesola for his leadership of the state, stating that the projects he has embarked upon are in line with the party’s agenda.
“I must really appreciate this my friend, Governor Aregbesola,” he said repeatedly.
