Aregbesola, who is publicly supporting Adeoti against the incumbent governor urges his supporters not to be intimidated but be resolute to cast their votes during the exercise which Adeoti had said would not be free and fair.

The minister, who had vowed to ensure that the incumbent governor fails to clinch the ticket of the party
said this in a statement he personally signed and issue on Saturday.

He, however, charged them to avoid any form of violence, brigandage and disorderliness.

Reacting to women in politics and there safety, he took to his twitter handle and wrote:

“I am also appealing to our members to push out the women and let them lead the process by coming out decently and peacefully.
” This is to demonstrate the customary dignity of women as matriarchs, mothers, wives and daughters, which confers on them the special protection status from violent attacks from thugs and hoodlums.
Our overall objective is to have a transparent, free, fair and peaceful election.
