Governor of the State of Osun, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, has disowned the 2022 governorship campaign posters in his name, saying he is still preoccupied with the delivery of quality service to the people of the state.
Oyetola said governance is still uppermost in his mind and as such would not want to be distracted at this critical stage of his tenure.
To this end, he called on those behind the posters to tarry a while and wait for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to blow the whistle for the contest.
OSUN DEFENDER had in its current edition reported that campaign posters canvassing for Oyetola’s second term were sighted at different places in Osogbo, the state capital.
Reacting to the report, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ismail Omipidan, said his principal had no hand in the said posters.
Omipidan said: “For now, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State is more preoccupied with mobilising the people for membership registration and re-validation exercise, while Governor Oyetola is preoccupied with governance and not politicking.
“The Governor appreciates the goodwill and the solidarity of those behind it, if truly they are genuine, but wishes to state that what is uppermost in his mind at the moment is to take Osun to greater heights.
“He, therefore, appealled to those behind it to channel their efforts towards supporting government’s effort at changing the fortune of the State, which would probably make 2022 unattractive to the opposition.”
