Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola
yesterday said the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, is power drunk and wants to win
the 2015 general elections at all cost.
Aregbesola said this at the first APC
Southwest Assembly in Ibadan, the Oyo
State capital.
Speaking on the August 9 governorship
election, he said the masses, particularly
women and school children, were those who
defied the “intimidation” of thousands of
mostly masked security operatives who went
round the state intimidating voters before
and during the election.
The governor recalled that women, who are naturally overlooked, and school
children, defied by gun-wielding security operatives to insist that they would
exercise their civic rights and would only vote for the candidate of their
choice.
Aregbesola said with the masses and support from other APC-controlled
states, the PDP, which he said, hid under the power of the Federal
Government to militarize and intimidate voters against performing their civic
duties or preventing them from voting for their choice candidates, would have
won the election.
He said: “The PDP is determined to take our states from us. They are
ruthless opposition that will do anything to deny our people of their
democratic choices. If we understand this early enough, we will see the need
to stop them on their track. But if we underrate them, we will record losses.
“The actual winners, those who defeated the opposition in Osun, were the
ordinary men and women, particularly women who refused to be intimidated.
They came out even in their most dreadful form.
“For the first time, security operatives put on masks in broad day light in
their thousands on trucks, shooting. But women came out to perform their
duty. They sang against them and sent signals to them that they would not
tolerate terror.
“We must thank and celebrate them. We didn’t prepare them for it but they
did it on their own.
“Quickly following the women in the determination to exercise their rights
were school children who always sang that people should vote for
Aregbesola. It was unbelievable.
“They deflated the ego of the people that wanted to dominate and terrorise
us. Yes, our men worked but the determination of our women and the
children including artisans, drivers, was high. Politicians must acknowledge
them.
“We must let people know that this is what they must do. They must refuse
to be cowed, that they should vote and defend their votes. They deserve
accolades for the victory of our party in the State of Osun. I will never forget
them. Women that one would think wrongly are the least in a struggle like
this.
“When President Goodluck Jonathan came to Osun a week before the
election to campaign for his party’s candidate, he referred to APC governors
as miscreants. Can you imagine?”
Aregbesola advised his party men to review their strategy if the party is
serious about winning future elections, saying the PDP would stop at nothing
to win elections.
“Our policies and programmes must be geared towards mobilising and
educating the people. From the leadership to the lowest level of our party, we
must inspire the people. The only ones they cannot defeat are the people.
“They arrested close to 1,000 of our leaders the night before the election.
They even attempted to enter my house at Government House at about
1:30 am on election day.
“The real stake in Osun is ego but in Lagos State, it is going to be for both
ego and materials. The PDP took electoral contest as a war. But It was all
well that ended well.” he said. dailypost.ng/2014/09/05/pdp-will-anything-win-2015-general-elections-aregbesola/

As will APC..

....and APC will do nothing?

Here in Osun, PDP will continue to lose in elections until they can field the good ones in the party. Not the set of killers and thugs we used to know... Rauf has been able to restore our hope of better Osun... APC isn't the best part but it the best alternative that has happened to us...

tit: hear the mumu who climbed on top of trailer to share rices to people.

Funny u... Share RICES? U must be a student of Omisore's school of grammar... Birds of thesame feather flock together...

Watch out for more on Osun election... Election materials used for the election will be examined today...

The PDP is too desperate. PDP knows how to win election but does not know how to govern after winning election. This is not about GEJ. It is about that political party called PDP. PDP has ruin Nigeria. For 15 good yrs in power, no sector of our country's economy has been improved. Is it power, education, manufacturing, health, security, Job creation etc. Even if PDP stays in power for another 15 yrs, there won't be any improvement.

Stop crying fowl... Not until your party can field the good and intelligent personalities in your party, you will continue to lose here in osun.
You ought to bury you head in shame after all the intimidation and arrest of opposition party members... About 73,000 security operatives were deployed, still people came out to vote for their choice. I casted my vote at thesame unit with the former deputy gov (erelu obada), she was the one pointing at the opposition members to be arrested.
If not that you guys are so desperate to be in power, you bought a vote for nothing less than #5000. Omisore doesn't have any good plan for Osun only to pay civil servants' salaries.

I Thk God again d will of d evil agent doesn't come to pass upon d security personnel in d state of Osun they fail in their assignment they will surely fail again in 2015 Cos' people, d old and young elites are tired of d man we are tired of kindergarten president its leadership has fail us he failed in all sector of government.in 2015 he will surely fail again Cos' people are tired of rice and kerosene politics we are tired of corrupt minds in politics we need leaders that's diligent and vibrant in their work.

tit: hear the mumu who climbed on top of trailer to share rices to people.

Are You Still Bitter After A Month?
