By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has expressed confidence that voters in the state will elect him governor on August 15.

Oyebamiji spoke on Sunday during a meeting with leaders and members of the Association of Mobile Telecommunication Engineers of Nigeria (AMTEN), Osun State chapter, held in Osogbo.

The APC candidate, who was represented by the Chairman of Civic Engagement of the APC Campaign Council, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, said the forthcoming election would mark a return of the state to what he described as the progressive path.

He said, “History will be made on August 15 as I will be elected governor of the state. I am confident and hopeful in God and in you that it will be my day. History will also be made as Osun returns to the progressive path, and I count on you to make that happen.”

Oyebamiji said governance remained a serious responsibility, adding that his administration would focus on policies aimed at improving the welfare of residents across the state.

He stated that his administration would adopt a comprehensive approach centred on economic security, healthcare delivery, education and social protection, while also expanding social safety nets to reduce poverty and improve social welfare.

The APC candidate assured members of the association that, if elected, his administration would support them, noting that mobile telecommunications plays a critical role in business development.

Oyebamiji, however, urged them to disregard what he described as a campaign of calumny against him, emphasising that his upbringing and commitment to service are rooted in the upliftment of humanity.
