- A Kwara state House of Assembly candidate of the APC has appealed to residents in the state to vote again for the party on Saturday, March 9

- The people were applauded by Raphael Adetiba for voting for the party in the just concluded presidential election in the state

- Adetiba said Oke-ero local government which was the only place where the PDP won needs to be taken back

Raphael Adetiba, the Kwara state House of Assembly candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has called on the people of the state to vote for the party again on Saturday, March 9.

Adetiba made the appeal while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday, March 3, in Abuja.

Adetiba, who is seeking to represent Oke-ero local government in the state House of Assembly, also urged the people to vote massively for the governorship and other candidates of the party during the elections.

He commended the people of the state for delivering all the six House of Representatives and three Senate seats in the state to the APC.

He said that such feat should be repeated in the governorship and state House of Assembly elections, stressing that the party would reciprocate the gesture.

The candidate, then, appealed to the people of his constituency to support the APC, adding that Oke-ero could not afford to be in the opposition in the state.

Adetiba said he was making the call because Oke-ero was the only local government won by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday, February 23, out of the 16 local governments in the state.

The governorship and the state House of Assembly elections are to hold on Saturday, March 9.
