If the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdurasheed Akanbi, can execute his vow, then Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has up to 90,000 in store.
This is the huge number that the monarch, on Saturday, said he would get for the All Progressives Congress candidate in the Osun State governorship election.
The Oluwo said this when he stepped out to cast his vote.
He said, “I am confident of delivering 90,000 votes. It is not easy for the governor to move from the status quo and do what is right. He has been paying full salary. Osun is a civil servant state and the people depend on salaries.
“He has been paying debt inherited and didn’t use the money for frivolities. I have told my people to vote for the APC and they will vote for APC. The governor is doing a great job. I believe the person doing a great job should continue. I want all persons to vote peacefully.
On why vote-buying is rife, he said people were frustrated and had no hope.
“Vote buying is a challenge to democracy. The populace does not have hope. They are getting what they can get. It is a bad situation. We do not know when to get out of it. The new breeds of politicians will help us to get out of it but people are hungry. They need food. Vote buying cannot stop now until we see real dividends of democracy
“My domain is peaceful. I have told them nobody should stay home. They should show their voting strength. We want to see our strength. Nobody should stay home and watch television,” he said.
