According to him, “I am assuring you that by the grace of God and with your support, I will reclaim my mandate. We have discovered some discrepancies and electoral fraud in some polling units across the nine local governments in Oyo South senatorial district.”
While encouraging his supporters to remain enthusiastic about delivering Makinde’s mandate for the people of the state, he also them not to be intimated, cowed or blackmailed into voting candidates who are only desperate to win elections but without anything to offer them.
He then reeled out the numerous achievements of the governor during his
first term, assuring them that the governor would do even more if given the second term mandate on March 11.
