Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has taken a swipe at the opposition parties competing with his party in the July 16 governorship election in Osun.
Tinubu described the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP) as ‘mushroom parties’ and also said they will labor in vain till they die.
The APC flag bearer said this on Tuesday while campaigning for Gboyega Oyetola, the governorship candidate for Osun State, ahead of the election that was planned to hold on July 16.
While speaking at the rally, he said “I ask you to please do the same thing you did in Ekiti. Come out with your PVCs and vote massively for APC. The voting is now in your hand. Be very vigilant. Be watchful. You will not do it in vain.
Think about your children and vote accordingly so you can see the future. Come out en masse. Don’t mind PDP and other mushroom parties — parties like Labour; they will labor till they die. God will not make you laborers.
You’re next. We will be here till tomorrow. We will come back here for the victory dance. Look at the trajectory of our lives. We make promises and fulfill them. We are the ones upholding the party, the Buhari party. Don’t answer the naysayers.”
Gboyega Oyetola, the incumbent governor, is the flagbearer of the APC, while Ademola Adeleke is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Other candidates are Lasun Yusuf of the Labour Party (LP), Akin Ogunbiyi of Accord, and Goke Omigbodun of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
