<\/p>\nOlawuyi said that the success was a sign of more victories to come for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general elections in Kwara.<\/p>\n
He said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday at Omu-Aran, Kwara, while reacting to the outcome of the poll.<\/p>\n
NAN reports that Olawuyi polled 21,236 to emerge winner, while his closest rival, Mr Saheed Alatise of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scored 18,095.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a happy moment for me because we have been doing this for a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen your time has come, no one can stop you but at the same time, I give glory to God, because it is the best time Allah has created for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy party believed in me to put me forward for the assignment and I thank God I have delivered,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Olawuyi, who described his party as the best in Africa, said he was never scared of the opposition because he is a grassroots politician that is loved by his people.<\/p>\n
He said because of the fact that his people love him and follow him with passion, he will always defeat his opponents in a free and fair election.<\/p>\n
Olawuyi said the state government\u2019s statement that the election was between the PDP and the security agencies was laughable because it was what they were used to.<\/p>\n
He said he is now sure of an APC victory in the state in the 2019 general elections because of the spirit the electorate have demonstrated.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
