Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli, a senatorial candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Oyo South District, asserted that states with governors from the same political party as the President benefit more from the democratic dividends than other states in the nation.
The claims were made by Alli, a former secretary to the Oyo State government, at a meeting with hundreds of members of the Mokola market community on Thursday in Ibadan.
In order to fully benefit from democracy’s benefits from the different levels of government, the former chairman of Ibadan North Local Government Area recommended the public in the state to vote for APC candidates across the board.
Alli urged locals to support him, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, and other party candidates in the general elections in 2023.
He insisted that this is necessary for the people of the state to enjoy the full dividends of democracy like other states that have governors on the same political party as the President.
Alli lamented that employment opportunities are not as readily available as it was back in the day due to the number of graduates tertiary institutions produce on yearly basis.
Alli said, “In our nation, states having governors on the same political platform as the president enjoy good governance more, let us have that benefit too, here in Oyo State.
“We, therefore, appeal to you to vote our party, the APC across board, from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Senator Teslim Folarin our Governor, to my humble self, to Hon. Olaide Akinremi, to Hon Adebowale Adeyoju and Hon Mustapha Salaudeen.
