“This is to show the preparedness of the core APC members in the state, to show how ready we are to ensure that I become the party candidate by God’s grace in December, and to further strengthen the belief of the people in the coming APC government in Osun State.
“APC’s chance in 2026 is 100 per cent. These are volunteers from the nook and cranny of the state, this is just within the party and not the public, this is an internal politics, preparing us for the forthcoming primaries in December.
“This is also to show the strength of the rescue mission to ensure that we get the party ticket by God’s grace and win the governorship election. I am optimistic, you know, if we go to the primaries today, I will win more than 90 per cent. By God’s grace, I shall emerge and deliver the APC government by next year August,” Omisore, who was flanked by notable leaders of the party, said while addressing a crowd that accompanied him to the APC State Secretariat in Osogbo.”
Earlier in his remark, one of the leaders and former federal lawmaker, Ajibola Famurewa, commended the people for their solidarity with Omisore, saying that “we are sure that with their support, Omisore will emerge as the party’s candidate.
“Governance is a serious business, and as a former deputy governor, he is the most experienced among other good aspirants of the party to fly the ticket and deliver victory come next year,” he added.
