resolve to confront those he referred to as Peoples
Democratic Party forces in the August 9 governorship
election, insisting that he will win the election by popular
votes.
Aregbesola, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, spoke in Osogbo, the state
capital on Saturday.
He warned the PDP against rigging the governorship
election because the opposition party in the state does
not have the support of the masses like him.
Responding to a question on how his party would react if
there was an attempt by government agents to restrict
APC leaders and members as witnessed in Ekiti State,
Aregbesola said nobody could stop the people of Osun
from exercising their civic right.
He said, "I'm a product of the popular forces, by popular
forces, I mean the people, I emanated from them, I'm a
product of their struggle. I've interacted on a daily basis
with the people from the outset of my administration.
They know me and I know them. I have affected their
lives through populist programmes.
"I'm from the street and it is easy for me to go back to
the street because that's where my people are. Can they
(PDP) go to the street?
"They don't know who they are facing; my real home is
the street. Look at me, do I look like a governor? That's
why I call my administration government unusual
because we need to bring passion and vision into
governance and break away from stagnating ways of
doing things.
"Let's meet on the street. My administration has the full
support of the masses"
