Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun says he is confident of clinching the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket at its primary slated for February 19.

Mr Oyetola said this during his engagement tour to Ejigbo Federal Constituency on Monday.

The governor, while addressing traditional rulers in their palaces, as well as party members in Awo and Ejigbo townships, said with God on his side, he would be victorious.

According to the governor, there is no need to change a winning team. The governor urged members of the party to troop out in large number on February 19 for the party’s governorship primary.

Mr Oyetola, who also received defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) commended them for taking a bold step to join APC. He assured the defectors of equal opportunity and treatment in the party.

Speaking in his palace, Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Oba Omowonuola Oyesosin, said, “Since I have been on earth, I have never seen a governor like Oyetola. I have spent 48 years on the throne and since my enthronement I have never seen a man or governor like you. You have done so well for me, my town, the council and for the state.”

The ruler added, “Your second term ambition is a walkover as long as Ejigbo, and by extension, Osun, is concerned.”

Also, Alawo of Awo, Oba Abdul-Rasaq Abioye, lauded the governor for being resolute and committed to Osun people’s welfare since assumption of office.
