Osun Election: APC’s Basiru wins polling unit, delivers victory to Oyebamiji
The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has secured his polling unit for the party’s governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, in the ongoing Osun State governorship election.
Oyebamiji won 177 votes at Polling Unit 003, Alagba, Osogbo, where Basiru cast his ballot, defeating the incumbent governor and Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, who polled 60 votes.
African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate, Najeem Salaam, received three votes, while candidates of the Action Alliance (AA), Young Progressives Party (YPP) and Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) secured one vote each.
Basiru and his wife, Abibat, had earlier cast their ballots at the polling unit.
After voting, the APC chieftain commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for what he described as the timely deployment of personnel and election materials across the state.
He also praised voters for turning out in large numbers, saying the participation demonstrated their commitment to democracy.
Basiru further commended security agencies for maintaining what he described as a peaceful and orderly atmosphere at polling centres.
He described the voting process as calm and hitch-free and expressed optimism that the election would be free, fair and credible.
The APC National Secretary also expressed confidence in his party’s chances of winning the governorship election.
