The former Senior Technical Adviser (STA) to erstwhile Governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, Dr Michael Olugbile, has set up a House-to-House Independent Campaign Group for the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and all candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general elections.

At least 200 volunteers have embarked on the campaign for the reelection of Buhari and the victory of all APC candidates in the state.

The volunteers, under the auspices of Dr Michael Olugbile House-to-House Independent Campaign Group (DMOH2HICG), said the President Buhari has done well in his first term and therefore deserves a second term, urging the people of the State to vote for all APC candidates.

The convener of Group, Dr Michael Olugbile, explained that the initiative was informed by his genuine desire for good governance at the Federal and State levels for the benefit of the citizenry.

Dr Olugbile who was one of the aspirants for Odo-Otin/Ifelodun/Boripe Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, said that despite the fact that he did not secure the ticket of the party, he remained committed to ensuring victory for all APC candidates in the general elections.

His words: “As part of my desire to see positive change in Nigeria, I have twice sought for the ticket of the House of Representatives under APC but God said it was not yet time, for the vision is for an appointed time.

“Meanwhile, while we await the appointed time, we will actively support those nominated by our party for various positions to win their election.”

He explained that the volunteers would do House to House campaign for all APC candidates in Odo-Otin, Ifelodun and Boripe LGAs. The goal, he said, is to ensure victory for the party candidates from President Buhari to Dr Ajibola Basiru for Osun Central Senatorial district and Hon Afolabi Olalekan for Odo-Otin/Ifelodun/Boripe Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.

Dr Olugbile also urged the people to vote for Prince Adeyinka Adetoyi, Dr Mulikat Abiola and Hon Femi Popoola as members of Osun State House of Assembly to represent Odo-Otin, Ifelodun as well as Boripe and Boluwaduro constituency.

The event was attended by top political dignitaries, including the immediate past Osun State Deputy Governor, Otunba Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, and the APC Senatorial leader for Osun Central Senatorial District, Hon Adeoye Adelakun among others.

Speaking on the occasion, the former Deputy Governor lauded Dr Olugbile for putting the Independent campaign group in place to ensure victory for all APC candidates.

Otunba Laoye-Tomori charged the volunteers to carry out the assignment with total dedication and full commitment.

Also speaking, Hon Adelakun, who inaugurated the volunteers, assured them that the party and its candidates would not disappoint them.
