John Adesuyi, the Governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), in Osun State has expressed confidence that his party has the spread across the State to win the August 15 governorship election.
Adesuyi, who spoke at a Newspoint programme organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Correspondents’ Chapel in Osogbo, said the ZLP would not be intimidated by campaign crowds, insisting that elections are won through strategy rather than popularity.
He said the ZLP has a wider spread than many people believe, noting that the party came sixth in the 2023 Presidential election ahead of some parties considered more popular.
He also said the party recorded votes in all the Local Government Areas of Osun during the 2022 Governorship election, unlike some political parties that failed to secure votes in some councils.
“The ZLP did not record zero anywhere in the 2022 governorship election. We were the last on the ballot paper, so nobody voted for us by mistake. Anybody who voted for us actually wanted to vote for us. We have our spread and we are not interested in vote buying. We are not going to be intimidated by crowds because crowds can easily be gathered,” he said.
