He will fulfill all his electoral promises for the good of the people. We are confident of winning,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The APC chieftain also commended the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, whom he described as the leader of the party in the state, for sustaining party cohesion despite being out of government.<\/p>\n<p>He said Oyetola, in collaboration with other stakeholders, had developed a framework that accommodates new entrants into the party without sidelining existing members.<\/p>\n<p>Oyintiloye appealed to residents of the state not to be swayed by what he termed a campaign of calumny against the APC by rival parties, assuring them that the state would witness renewed direction under Oyebamiji\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than engaging in buck-passing with anyone, Oyebamiji and other leaders of our party are working hard to rescue Osun and redirect the state to the path of sustainable growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also encouraged opposition members willing to join the APC to follow the example of the recently defected lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
