Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has said he has nothing to do with 2022 governorship campaign posters that have flooded the Stat.

He said, at the moment he was still preoccupied with the delivery of quality service to the people of Osun State.

The Governor, added that governance was still uppermost in his mind, and he would not want to be distracted at this critical stage of his tenure.

He, however called on those behind the posters to tarry a while and wait for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to blow the whistle for the contest.

Oyetola’s second term posters have spotted at different places in Osogbo, the state capital.

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ismail Omipidan, commented that his principal had no hand in the said posters.

He wondered the curious coincidence of the story in two different media by the same reporter who goes by the name Solomon Odeniyi.

He said “Since none of the two media acknowledged the other as being the originator of the news item, I smell some kind of mischief and ulterior motive, especially as the promoter and patron of one of the media was a former Commissioner in the State.

“Whatever the motives or intentions are, they are dead on arrival.

“For now, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State is more preoccupied with mobilising the people for membership registration and re-validation exercise, while Governor Oyetola is preoccupied with governance and not politicking.

“The Governor appreciates the goodwill and the solidarity of those behind it, if truly they are genuine, but wishes to state that what is uppermost in his mind at the moment is to take Osun to greater heights.”

Omipidan noted that the Governor appealed to those behind it to channel their efforts towards supporting government’s effort at changing the fortune of the State, adding that this would probably make 2022 unattractive to the opposition.
