An aide to late Osun governor, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, Olumide Lawal, has urged the people of the state to vote for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidates in Saturday’s presidential election as well as other elections.
Lawal, described PDP contestants as men and women who are of proven integrity and could be trusted with public offices and serve the electorate patriotically.
In a statement entitled: “Election 2019: Osun for PDP; PDP for Osun,” Lawal said it is necessary for PDP supporters to to prove to the world that the overwhelming votes it recorded during the September 22, 2018 governorship election was not a fluke, but a reality.
“God Almighty who did it on September 22, 2018, is still on the throne to establish the fact that David is greater than Goliath. Osun PDP supporters are quintessential ‘Omoluabis.’
“This is to appeal to those who failed to join the PDP train on September 22, 2018, that there are still thousands of seats, available for them to partake of the Jolly ride to prosperity in all sphere of governance in Osun State and, indeed, Nigeria.”
While enlightening them on the mode of voting, the PDP chieftain said: “Let me emphatically remind PDP supporters, that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has changed the pattern of voting, without majority of citizens being aware of such.
“You don’t vote with your thumb anymore- you should vote with your index finger. Any vote cast with the thumb is void.
“Another new era beckons. Let nobody be left out of the PDP efforts in Osun state to make it an Eldorado. Let us conduct ourselves orderly, peacefully and dignifiedly as member of Osun PDP, and make it a lively affair.”
