Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has stated the reason Osun residents should re-elect Gov. Gboyega Oyetola at the polls on Saturday.
Ganduje while speaking in an audio clip published by BBC Hausa on Friday night charged all Muslim faithful in Osun State to vote for the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola, to continue his tenure as governor for the second term because he is a Muslim like them.
Ganduje driving home his point stressed that Oyetola is the only Muslim governor in the South-West, noting that he was their ‘brother’.
The Kano State governor according to reports visited a mosque in Osogbo on Friday during the Jumaat prayers, where he was said to have met with the Hausa community in Osogbo, to canvass votes for Oyetola.
“I have come to this mosque to talk to the Muslims here. Please, the person you should vote for is Oyetola. Do you know why? This is because he is a Muslim like you. We are guiding you on the path (to follow),” Ganduje said.
The governor also noted that the presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress was asked to pick a fellow Muslim as running mate, which he did.
According to him, that was enough reason for them to vote for the incumbent governor, who he claimed would “build your markets, roads and bring development to your community”.
