Speaking in Osogbo, the state capital, the Senate President charged Oyebamiji to align with the Federal government in ensuring that Osun State feels the dividends of democracy if elected as governor.

He said: “No state government is borrowing money for projects, enough money is coming to the state and Osun should be better than what I have seen. On the road between Ibadan and here, even the potholes are not fixed.

“AMBO once you are elected on Saturday and sworn in, you must immediately begin the progressive movement, you must transform Osun State, you must show the people that development is part and parcel of politics, that what they need is the dividends of democracy and not social media.

“May God guide you as you use Osun money for Osun people, as you transform the infrastructure, as you join us in the centre to ensure that Nigeria is transformed.”
