About The Author
The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dr. Najeem Salaam, has expressed optimism about his chances in the ongoing Osun State governorship election, saying he is confident of victory if the electoral process remains transparent and credible.
“Without manipulation, I will win this election. The people of Osun are behind me and they are ready for change,” he said.
The former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, however, voiced concerns over reports of alleged irregularities from several parts of the state.
According to him, information reaching his campaign team suggests attempts to influence the process, though he maintained that the party was closely monitoring developments.
Salaam also rejected allegations linking the ADC to vote-buying, insisting that the party’s campaign has focused on allowing citizens to make independent choices at the ballot box.
“Our party is not involved in vote buying. We believe that the people should be allowed to freely choose the candidate they want,” he stated.
He further alleged that some ADC polling agents were prevented from carrying out their duties in certain locations, warning that such actions could undermine confidence in the election.
Despite his concerns, Salaam urged voters and supporters to remain calm, law abiding and vigilant throughout the voting and counting process, expressing hope that the final outcome would reflect the genuine will of the people of Osun State.
