The gubernatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Osun State, Dr Najeem Salaam, has reaffirmed his commitment to win the August 15 election.
Salaam said the party’s resolve is strong, adding that his commitment to the Osun people remains unwavering.
The ADC gubernatorial candidate made these known in a statement on Saturday in response to the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission not to recognise the leadership of the party led by Senator David Mark.
Salaam said the INEC action will not stand, urging supporters and members of the ADC to remain peaceful, focused and committed.
“I wish to reaffirm, without any ambiguity, that I am fully in the Osun State gubernatorial contest to win. Our resolve is strong, our vision is clear, and our commitment to the good people of Osun remains unwavering.
“To all our loyal members, supporters, and stakeholders in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), I urge you to remain steadfast and resolute. This is not the time for doubt or distraction. It is a time for unity, courage, and renewed determination. Be assured that we will do everything humanly possible, within the bounds of the law, to secure victory for our great party and the people of Osun State.
“Recent developments and the shenanigans witnessed from the electoral umpire are indeed concerning. However, let it be known that such actions cannot and will not stand. We have absolute confidence in the rule of law and the strength of our democratic institutions to correct any injustice.
“Our campaign is rooted in the collective aspiration of our people for a better, more prosperous Osun. No amount of intimidation, manipulation, or administrative manoeuvring will derail the will of the people.
“We call on all our supporters to remain peaceful, focused, and committed to the cause. Together, we will overcome every obstacle and emerge victorious. The future of Osun is bright, and with your continued support, victory is assured,” the statement read.
