The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye, has said that the immediate past governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, would return to office before July 5, 2023.
Owoeye said this during the inauguration of Osun State branch of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in Osogbo on Thursday, further noted that the defeat suffered by the All Progressives Congress in the July 16 Osun governorship poll was a temporary setback.
He then urged members of the party to work for the victory of Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2023 general elections.
According to him, “In 2019, the Supreme Court gave its final verdict on July 5, affirming the victory of Oyetola as the governor. If you know them, go and tell them that before July 5, 2023 Oyetola will be returned as Osun Governor.
“They thought they could manipulate the results of the election in their favour, but we thank God that the results of the Bimodal Voter’s Accreditation System (BVAS) exposed them.
“So, Please, the presidential election is very important to us and we want you to begin to mobilize our people to vote massively for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima and all other candidates of our party.”
