Osoba to Ogun Supporters "Your Voters Card is are weapons of war"

The Social Democratic Party(SDP) started its mega rally in Ake, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, yesterday,  with former Governor and party leader, Chief Segun Osoba, saying SDP was targeting 500,000 votes for its governorship candidate in the February 28 polls.

Osoba, who unveiled the candidate, Senator Akin Odunsi, to thousands of members and supporters at the Ake Palace grounds, added that the targeted votes would be actualised, if each of the party’s 50,000 members brings at least 10 more people to the fold.

According to him, the choice of Odunsi(from Ogun West) was predicated on the people’s demand for a “mature, level and cool- headed person with extensive leadership experience and who will share benefits of democracy to every part of the state.”

Osoba said: “You all know that the crowd here is not rented and presently on our membership register in this state, we have not less than 50,000 registered members. ...

The former governor, who directed all members at the rally to display their voter’s cards, warned them against losing or selling them, saying, “they are the weapons of war”.
