Osun 2022: Lasun Yusuff Says LP Will Surprise Many By Winning The Election by press9jatv: 4:36am On Jul 14, 2022
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has canvassed for votes for the party’s governorship candidate in the coming Saturday election.

He charged the electorate to vote massively for Hon Lasun Yussuff in the election for productivity and dividends of democracy.

Addressing party supporters in Osogbo on Wednesday at a rally, where he handed over the party’s flag to their candidate, Obi described him as a thoroughly bred politician with the intimidating credentials that would deliver on the aspirations of the people of the state.

He lamented what he described as the precarious situation Nigerians have been subjected to by the dominant political parties in Nigeria adding that it was the right time for Nigerians to set themselves free and vote for a better alternative that can be found in LP.

Obi expressed the need for Nigerians to be shown love and compassion which he said the dominant parties lacked as manifested in the way they treat the youths, the workers and the entire citizens of Nigeria.

On vote-buying, Obi told the Osun electorate to take any money offered to them but vote for the candidates of their choice adding that the money offered was stolen from government covers and therefore belongs to them.

Also speaking, the candidate of the party, Hon. Lasun Yussuff said he is better equipped to govern Osun State because he has what it takes to govern successfully having served as deputy Speaker House of Representatives.

He attributed his choice of Labour Party to his belief in the dignity of labour that liberated him from the shackles of lack and poverty as an investor.

Apparently referring to the statement credited to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu during the party’s mega rally where he allegedly taunt labour, Yussuff said such a statement is unbecoming of someone who wants to become the president of Nigeria.

Lasun boosted that LP will spring up surprise by winning the governorship election in Osun State.


He promised to provide better health facilities,create jobs, gives loan to women for Empowerment adding that women will be inclusive in his government.

Lasun who said a presidential candidate of a party said labourers will die disclosed that such person is not fit to govern Nigeria and he is not a true son of oduduwa.

He called on the people to come out and vote for him saying their future lies in the hands of Labour Party for a better Nigeria.

Osun Guber: Group condemns attack on Lasun Yusuf’s house

Ahead of July 16 governorship election in Osun State, The Osun Masterminds, TOM, has called on the political gladiators in the state to allow peace to reign before, during and after the election.

The group said it’s not unaware of the attack carried out at the residence of one of the candidates, Rt. Hon. Lasun Yusuf, as they call on the security agents to fish out perpetrators of that dastardly act.

The group said they are concerned that a few days to the election, issues like this are cropping up in the polity, needlessly supercharging the atmosphere and making it unsafe for ordinary citizens of the State.



“Some days ago, the home of Rt. Hon. Lasun Yussuff, the Labour Party Governorship candidate, was reportedly besieged by unknown gunmen who were reported to have shot sporadically for a period. Almost immediately, the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives was quoted as saying he knew that the attack was orchestrated by Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola. The Governor’s camp, through the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Ismail Omipidan, has since responded to the allegations, stating that while the Governor could never have been responsible for any attack on anyone, it doubts any event of that nature ever occurred, also charging security agencies to conduct thorough investigations into the cause of the unfortunate event, if it ever occurred.

“We condemn in its entirety, any clandestine attempt by anyone to intimidate any of the candidates. We believe that our electoral process has matured beyond such barbaric approach to winning elections. We therefore condemn the act in its entirety and urge security agencies to immediately conduct detailed investigations into the unfortunate incidence and unravel the identities of the perpetrators and their sponsors.

“We find it preposterous and rather unfortunate that Rt. Hon. Lasun Yussuff had so quickly pointed accusing fingers at another candidate when there has still not been any sort of investigation into the matter by relevant security agencies. Such hasty and still-baseless accusations make it easy to think the entire narrative was hatched by him to discredit and blackmail another candidate.

“Attempts at blackmailing other candidates are as devilish as attempts to intimidate other candidates. We say with all sense of responsibility, that Rt. Hon. Yussuff’s hasty accusations are as faulty and undemocratic as the attempts by anyone to intimidate him. His rights under the law guarantee him access to security agencies in situations like this, instead of making inciting statements that may have further heightened tensions in the State. We can have a successful election without such resorts to unlawful methods.

“We again urge security agencies to as a matter of urgency, investigate the reported event with the aim of unraveling the identity of the perpetrators. We also urge Rt. Hon. Lasun Yussuff to work with security agencies in this regard, instead of making such reckless accusations that will set the State on the path of anarchy.

Voter Apathy

While advocating for patriotic behaviour from political gladiators, the group said they have conducted several social researches to find out the readiness of the people of Osun to participate in the upcoming election.

“We have however discovered, quite unfortunately, that a lot of Osun people are either afraid to participate in the election due to the tension in the atmosphere or are unwilling to participate, thinking their votes will not count anyway. We have tried our best to discourage this thinking and we use this opportunity to again call on voters in Osun to troop out and take part in the election on Saturday.

“We are well aware of the deployment of over 20,000 Police personnel to secure the process. We are also aware that men of the Nigerian army will be on ground, alongside several other security agencies, to provide security for all participants in the election. Citizens therefore have a guarantee of security and can freely go and exercise their franchise.



“We are also well aware of the positive advancements in the country’s electoral laws, giving birth to several innovations that will make votes count. We are convinced that INEC’s new procedures guarantee transparency of the electoral process. Citizens therefore can trust the process to reflect their true desires.

“We urge all citizens of the State with valid Permanent Voters Cards to participate in the election on Saturday as it is their opportunity to influence the governance of our dear State.

The Governor Osun needs

“In recent times, we have also been involved in voter education, guiding citizens of the State towards patriotic voting decisions. We believe that the current State of the affairs of Osun State imposes a certain quality of leadership on the State. A leader who will lead Osun at this sort of time, must be one with strong mental alertness, high capacity for fiscal management and a strong capacity to deliver success despite serious limitations of resources.

“We have therefore consistently advised the people of Osun to pay close attention to the track record of each of the candidates presenting themselves for election. Osun is at a time in her history, when we cannot afford to gamble with leadership. We cannot afford to hand the State over to charlatans at this critical period.

“Citizens must therefore interrogate the plans and programmes of each of the candidates and decide the best person in whose hands they feel the State will be safest. It is not a time for irrelevant emotions; it is a time for deep reflection and rejection of any candidate that lacks the understanding of the issues at hand and the best way to manage them.



“We are aware of the narratives by supporters of some of the candidates participating in the election. Understanding the incompetence of their candidates, these supporters are spinning the narrative that if they win, they will ensure that they constitute cabinets made of accomplished individuals to run government. This is not only dangerous for our State presently as leadership demands a top-bottom approach, it is also dangerous for the future of the State as it sets a bad precedence for quality of leadership.

“We must vote for candidates with proven capacity first who can provide visionary leadership and then ensure they bring on board equally capable members of cabinet when they eventually get into office. We cannot afford to vacate the need for high mental capacity in the person who would head government.

“We encourage Osun people to go to the polls with this in mind – Osun requires a leader with high mental capacity and enviable track record; we handing the collective destinies of our dear State to this person and must ensure they understand the enormity of this task.

Vote Buying

The group said It is unfortunate that at this time in the history of Osun State and country, a lot of citizens are still considering selling their votes. “This is dangerous and we condemn it in its entirety.

“We plead with citizens of Osun to kindly make the best voting decisions for their future. Taking money for votes is equal to selling our collective destinies to hawks who have nothing to offer our dear State. We all must reject the pittance they will be offering to buy our votes and decide with our clean consciences, whom we prefer to direct the affairs of our State for the next four years.



“If we continue to choose right, we will all eventually get out of the poverty ravaging our society. It is impossible to get our governance right if we continue selling our votes.

The group however commends all relevant agencies involve in the planning and execution of the July 16 Governorship election Osun State and plead with them to remain neutral and committed only to the true tenets of democracy.

Photos? Let's have the pictures of the Grand Rally of The Labourers in Osogbo. All the other political parties showed us their photos; we want to see the Unpaid Labourers as they're hoeing and weeding the fields. Showing us the photos of the event shouldn't be tasking now. Perhaps the photographers have not developed the films yet?

He's very correct. There's a strong chance he'll shock all at the pools. But the battle is majorly between PDP and APC.

This is as a result of the ineptitude of the sitting governor
Lmao! You people just like saying rubbish! Which shock will Lasun of Labour party shock at the polls. Is 5% of total votes a shocker to you and your people that think like you?
