Oyedele, who, observed that the incumbent had peformed well in the last three years, however, maintained that the voters of the state should demand for more from the candidates presenting themselves for the officer as the election approaches.
He also maintained that Governor Rauf Aregbesola would do more if given the second mandate. The lawmaker also appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to ensure a free, fair and credible governorship election in the state.

Also speaking at the event, All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman in the council, Alhaji Ibrahim Ganiyu, warned that the party would not allow rigging during the election and charged INEC to ensure that all stakeholders play the game according to the rule.
