APC drums up support for Osun election candidate

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has mandated all
its elected members to converge in Osun State from Tuesday
until Saturday's gubernatorial election as a show of support to
incumbent governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
In a statement issued in Osogbo on Monday through its National
Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the directive
also covered all political appointees in states under the control of
the APC, especially Special Advisers and Commissioners.
Members of the party's national exco and the national elders'
caucus are also expected in the state.
"APC said it perceives the forthcoming election as a celebration
of democracy and a harvest time for the party, whose candidate
has worked so hard to implement his mandate and make life
more abundant for the people of the state," the party stated.
The opposition party also called on its members in Osun to be
vigilant ahead of the poll, considering the alleged "myriad of
desperate tactics the People's Democratic Party had perfected to
win the poll at all costs."
