Poised to ensure victory for the gubernatorial candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Gboyega Oyetola, in the
forthcoming election, in Osun State, wife of Governor Rauf
Aregbesola of the state, Sherifat Aregbesola, at the weekend, led
hundreds of women to some markets within the state to canvass votes
for the flag bearer.
The Osun State First Lady, who addressed the women in major
markets, in Osogbo, Olorunda, Irepodun and Orolu Federal
Constituencies, assured that Oyetola would ensure equity and fair
play by considering women for government positions if elected.
She, therefore, called on the market women to vote for him and
avail themselves of the opportunity and to continue the outgoing
governor’s legacies.
Mrs. Aregbesola maintained that the foundation laid by the Rauf
Aregbesola’s administration would be jeopardised, if the opposition
party, the PDP, took over power from the ruling APC.
A member of the House of Representatives representing
Ayedade/Ayedire/Isokan Federal Constituency, Ayo Omidiran, appealed
to the market women who have yet to collect their Permanent Voters
Cards (PVC) to urgently do so to be able to vote.
She, however, commended them for the roles they played in
ensuring the re-election of Aregbesola in 2014.
She urged them to go out enmasse and do the same for Oyetola on
September 22.
Omidiran who also recalled the support of the APC-led federal
government for the market women, stated that the ongoing
distribution of N10,000 to N30,000 through Trader Moni programme to
petty traders in Osun State was a promise kept by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
She also reminded them that Governor Aregbesola had abundantly
supported market women through promotion of small scale businesses
and entrepreneurs in the state.
Omidiran told the women that time had come for them to
reciprocate the governments gestures by voting for APC during the
poll to be able to access more dividends of democracy.
She also recalled that the state government had given some
interest- free loans to market women.
She stressed that Aregbesola’s administration had given adequate
recognition to market women than any other government and deserves
their support in the election.
In the entourage of Mrs Aregbesola was the wife of the APC
gubernatorial candidate, Mrs Kafayat Oyetola, Commissioner for
Women Affairs, Alhaja Lateefat Giwa, Osun APC women leader, Alhaja
Kudirat Fabokunde, among others.
