Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, National Chairman of the African Democratic Party, David Mark and the National Secretary of the party, Rauf Aregbesola, on Monday urged the electorate in Osun State to support the candidate of the party, Dr Najeem Salaam, in the August 15 governorship election.
While Atiku said the best of Nigerians were in the ADC, Aregbesola stated that the party would revive the legacy of the late Premier of the Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, if the party’s candidate emerged victorious at Saturday’s poll.
The ADC chieftains spoke at the party’s grand rally held at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo, on Monday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission fixed August 15 for the Osun governorship election.
Incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke is vying on the platform of the Accord, Salaam is vying on the ticket of the ADC, while Bola Oyebamiji is contesting on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, among others.
