The African Democratic Congress governorship candidate in Osun State, Najeem Salaam, has expressed confidence that voters will back him in Saturday’s election, saying his track record makes him the candidate best placed to end political thuggery and restore peace in the state
Speaking at Arise News’ Town Hall ahead of the election, Salaam said Osun residents were tired of political violence and would support the candidate and party they believed could guarantee peace.
“Osun people do not want thuggery again because they see us and study as the most peaceful party. They also know the only candidate that can bring peace is Najeem Salam and the only party that can bring peace is the ADC,” he said.
The former lawmaker alleged that political violence and the proliferation of weapons remained major concerns in the state, warning that choosing other candidates could worsen existing tensions.
