He said Aregbesola ’ s administration had brought unprecedented development to the state, stressing that Oyetola , who had been a key member of the administration was the best to take over from his principal in order to continue with the development agenda .

The APC chairman said, “ Osun people should remember how the state was eight years ago . I used to come and organise workers ’ protest here and I know how it was eight years ago .

“No one can help you to govern if you don ’ t have the skills and the capacity to do that . Our candidate , Gboyega Oyetola , is a successful businessman and has worked as a loyal Chief of Staff to Governor Aregbesola . We are not presenting an apprentice to you but a trusted and tested man and we ask you to vote for him . ”

Tinubu also described Oyetola as a reliable person , saying he was with them during the struggle to reclaim the mandate of Aregbesola .

He said that the APC candidate did not betray them during the struggle but stood solidly behind Aregbesola until his mandate was restored .

The former Lagos State Governor said Oyetola was the engine room of the Aregbesola administration , saying he was not a stranger who would begin to spend a lot of time to learn about governance .

He said, “ Oyetola was chosen as the APC candidate in Osun to help the state to prosper like Lagos . The foolish ones are calling him an agent. He is here to help you develop the state.

“Youths, keep calm , Oyetola is unlike some corrupt politicians who were with us but with the intention to deceive us and loot from the treasury. ”

Aregbesola urged members of the party to continue to work hard and keep campaigning for the candidate of the party in order to win the poll .

The Oyo State Governor , Senator Abiola Ajimobi ; Ogun State Governor , Senator Ibikunle Amosun ; Ondo State Governor , Rotimi Akeredolu ( SAN ); Kano State Governor , Abdullahi Ganduje and Governor -Elect , Ekiti State , Dr Kayode Fayemi, asked the people of Osun State to vote for Oyetola so that the state could continue to be in the midst of the progressives .
