Former First Lady of Osun State, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola, including the wife of the standard bearer of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Dr Sekinat Oyebamiji, and erstwhile deputy governor, Mrs Titi Laoye Ponle, have appealed to market women and traders to cast their ballots for Bola Oyebamiji on Saturday.

Making the appeal under the auspices of Akoni Obinrin led by Mrs Kafayat, which included the wife of the APC running mate for governor, Princess Adebukola Adereti, they engaged women in popular Orisunmbare Market, Osogbo, assuring that the collective interest of traders in Osun can only be guaranteed by Oyebamiji.

While addressing the traders, the APC candidate’s wife stated, “This market is a homecoming for us; you are all familiar with AMBO and his agenda for our dear state. My mothers, Iyalojas, well done for your mobilization for our party.

“I was told that market women in Orisunmibare will not support us, but I refuted the claim; now I am more confident that you are for us after inviting us here for this engagement and educating you on where to vote.

“You have received the message of AMBO, and you only want to hear it more clearly by inviting us here today. I am confident that the proper agenda will accommodate women, especially traders, largely because we can’t talk about prosperity without you.”

Tasking them to work for the victory of AMBO in Osogbo, Sekinat added, “I want to tell you that AMBO is the answer to the economic reform of Osun State for prosperity.

“Please go out en masse to cast your vote for AMBO. While going to polling units, don’t go alone but take along six people to cast their votes for AMBO. This vote must be massive; don’t listen to their propaganda and don’t fight them.”

In her remark, Oyetola’s wife educated the market women on the specimen of ballot paper and urged them to vote for APC.

She said, “You will not see the picture of AMBO on the ballot but APC with its logo; vote for us, and you will not regret it. I can assure you.”

Earlier, the Babaloja of Orisunmibare, Chief Qamarudeen Adeoti, promised the team of their support.
