Oyo APC vows to give Buhari highest votes in South West

President Muhammadu Buhari’will kick-start his reelection campaign in the Southwest from Ibadan, Oyo State capital, today.
He is scheduled to address All Progressives Congress supporters at  Mapo Hall.
Spokesman of Oyo APC 2019 campaign Organisation, Dr. Azeez Olatunde, said  the President would use the opportunity to interact with stakeholders, including traditional rulers, leaders of religious bodies, community leaders, members of the organized  private sector, market men and women and youth groups.
He asked APC members and supporters of President Buhari across the political parties divide to turn out in large numbers and give the President a rousing welcome .
Olatunde said: “It is another opportunity to show the opposition political parties that Oyo State and indeed the entire Southwest is for APC and by extension for Buhari; a president who has done for the Southwest what a Yoruba man deliberately ignored for eight years.
“Oyo gave Buhari the second highest votes in the whole of the south in 2015, outside Lagos State. In Oyo, Buhari defeated the Peoples Democratic Party by 528, 620 votes to 303, 376. But, if we look at it proportionately, we can even say Oyo gave the highest votes in the entire South.
“That is if we compare the 5.8m registered voters in Lagos State to Oyo State’s  2.4m registered voters in 2015 and juxtapose it with 792,460 to 528,620 votes recorded respectively by both states we can say Oyo was number one. We set the pace.
“But, this time around the good people of Oyo State, which now has 2.9m registered voters will triple the 2015 figures by ensuring that President Buhari gets at least 1.5m votes. Oyo State residents are enlightened enough to choose performance over mediocrity.

“We are major beneficiaries of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway ongoing construction, the light rail project nearing completion, Trader Moni scheme, N-Power scheme that has provided succour for many of our graduates, homegrown school feeding programme, among others.”
Azeez added that APC and Buhari had earned the confidence and support of the people of the country for a second term judging by the massive infrastructural renewal, improved security, diversification of the economy and the significant arrest of corruption and national drift.
He said that the President would depart Ibadan for Osogbo, on Saturday, in continuation of his campaign
