Atiku who thanked the citizens of the state for voting for PDP’s Ademola Adeleke during the state’s gubernatorial elections said voting for the PDP at the national level is for the greater good of the Osun people.

“I have only come to thank you for what you have done, you are a wonderful people for returning PDP to power in the last state elections, and I believe by returning PDP to power, you will strengthen this authority by voting PDP in the next general election, because a federal government controlled by PDP and a state government controlled by PDP in Osun state is to the greater good of Osun people.

“Our only objective is to make sure that the current challenges of insecurity, disunity, economic deprivation, lack of jobs for our young men and women, with that the future of this country through restructuring can be achieved, and these I promise you I am going to start doing them from day one.

“It means empowering Osun state with more resources and authority to do what needs to be done, which is to provide infrastructure needed for development, invest in education and healthcare in Osun state, and bring about industrialization for the economic benefit of the people of Osun state.

We promise you we will not fail you, we are not like APC, we have done it before, we have got the experience, we have got the people who have the capacity to bring about changes, we are not new as far as governance in Nigeria is concerned. So, are you going to vote for your in-law or not?” the former vice president queried.
