The All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Osun State, Munirudeen Oyebamiji, on Tuesady declared himself as the incoming governor of the state.

Oyebamiji made the remark at a Town Hall meeting in Osogbo, the state capital.

He said: “My journey and my destiny which I have a pact with took me to Osun as the incoming governor of Osun State. Governance is about people and not about segments, it’s not about an area, a city, it’s the entire people of Osun that I want to serve.

“You have seen that the welfare of our people in Osun is very paramount, the security is very important, these are the things that I want to bring up, and we want to banish hunger, poverty, and I want to invest seriously on agriculture, education, and health.

“Apart from that, our human asset is very important to us. We are going to look at their welfare, capital development is very important and these are the things that I’m bringing on board.”

Oyebamiji will be squaring up against Governor Ademola Adeleke and others during Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

Adeleke will be running for a second term in office on the platform of Accord Party.

Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has criticized singer Davido’s call for United States President Donald Trump to intervene in the forthcoming Osun State governorship election.

Sani made his position known in a post on his X handle shortly after Davido’s appeal.

He said those attempting to involve Trump in Nigeria’s electoral process were just wasting their time, arguing that the US President has little interest in the credibility of elections in Africa.

He said “Those who are trying to drag Mr Trump into our elections are just wasting their time.

“Trump is not Obama or Biden.He has least interest in the credibility or otherwise of elections in Africa. The elections in Tanzania,Uganda and Cameroon are case studies.

“Mr Trump’s hands is full with Strait of Hormuz,Gaza and Ukraine and most importantly,his party is battling to survive the upcoming Senate and House of Representatives elections.”

Recall that Davido had earlier called on Trump to pay attention to the Osun State governorship election.

Davido made the appeal in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, expressing concerns over rising tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation and disruption of the democratic process ahead of the poll.

Afrobeats star, Davido, says the United States Government has reached out to him following the concerns he raised about Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Osun State.

DAILY POST recalls that the artiste on Monday wrote to the US President Donald Trump, alleging possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process in the election.

Davido in a post on X, urged the US President to urgently intervene and avert possible bloodshed and other forms of electoral violence already building up ahead of the election.

A few hours later, the artiste took to his X handle to confirm that he had been reached by the US government.

He wrote, “Dem don reach out ooooo. DEY PLAY! U think the rest of the world is undemocratic like Una! Una go see something.”

Davido, however, did not give details of the response from the US government.
