In a bid to ensure that Rauf Aregbesola gets re-elected for a second term as Governor of Osun State, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has appealed to the electorate in Osun State to vote for the incumbent governor and APC candidate in Saturday’s election.
A statement from his media office in Abuja yesterday revealed that the former vice-president gave the advice to a section of Osun leaders who paid him a courtesy call shortly after his arrival from a trip abroad.
“I am one of you by marriage. In fact, I am a son of the soil who shares your revered ideals and tradition of honesty, modesty, dedication to duty, steadfastness, integrity and communal responsibility.
“ We do have a common bond of a lifetime. So, I am urging you to team up with the progressives in your state and Nigeria to put in place good governments that would benefit all and sundry. Please, don’t let me down. Vote Aregbesola and APC,” the former Vice President pleaded.
Aside matrimonial ties, Atiku further disclosed that his relationship with Governor Aregbesola dates back to many years.
“Ogbeni is a people’s politician, a great policy maker and implementer. He is humane, simple and humble. He has the fear of God and respect for men and women. He is a steward of high repute and his numerous works and high performance ratings would see him win a second term massively,” added Atiku.
The statement further revealed that Atiku’s first wife, Hajiya Titi Atiku Abubakar holds some of the highest traditional titles ever bestowed on any woman in Yorubaland and Osun State respectively.
