2023: Osun NNPP House of Assembly Candidates To Hold Mega Rally For Tinubu
In a bid to actualise the ambition of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in becoming the President of Nigeria in next year general elections, some of House of Assembly candidates under New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), in Osun are set to hold a mega rally for him.
This is aside the house to house campaign, they have started to canvass votes for Tinubu who they described as a harbinger of hope for Nigerians.
It could be recalled that four National Assembly candidates of the party dumped their presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso in September 2022, drumming support for Tinubu.
The candidates had attributed their dissatisfaction with the leadership of the party at the national level, coupled with the inability of the party stakeholders, to work in accordance with the principle of justice, law and undemocratic running of the party, as reasons behind their action.
Speaking on behalf of the party’s House of Assembly candidates in Osogbo on Monday, Afolabi Abayomi, said that the party’s present structure in Osun state lacks vision of a New Nigeria aspired for citizens.
Afolabi stressed that the party’s lack of preparation in selling their Presidential, National Assembly and House of Assembly candidates to the people of Osun, less than 2 months to the general elections, is worrisome.
According to him, during their house to house campaigns, it was discovered that Osun people are so determined to have Asiwaju Tinubu as their President and canvassing for any other candidate, may be an effort in futility, hence, their decision to stick with Tinubu.
Afolabi however said, in collaboration with other National Assembly candidates who earlier dumped Kwankwaso, nine house of assembly candidates are set to organise a mega rally for Tinubu where masses of Osun would be convinced on why they should support APC candidates.
Both the NASS and State assembly candidates eulogised the Secretary, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Hon. James Faleke, for always giving them listening ears, having discovered their ability to deliver Osun for Tinubu.
Some of these House of Assembly candidates include: Afolabi Muideen Abayomi (Ifelodun), Opeyemi Amoo (Ife North), Babalola Timothy (Ila), Adelowokan Festus (Ilesha west), Ibrahim Adebisi (Ilesha east), Owoduni Emmanuel (Atakumosa east /west), Adekehinde Modupe Omolola (Oriade) and Odeyemi Tumininu ( Obokun).
