Timothy Owoeye, immediate past Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, has expressed confidence in All Progressives Congress – APC’s ability to secure a resounding victory in the forthcoming local government election slated for February next year.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on the activities lined up to mark the 70th birthday anniversary of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, Owoeye emphasised that “we are going to the local government election to win, not just to participate in it.
“We want to prove to the entire state and nation that the APC remains the party to beat. We have submitted the forms of all our candidates starting from the Chairman to the Counselors, so we are participating”, he added.
Speaking on the activities lined up for the birthday of the former Governor of Osun State, Owoeye said Oyetola would be giving out food to identify with the less-privileged and would be carrying out medical outreach for about 5,000 residents of the State.
