Osun 2022:  Lasun Yusuf Walks Strange Path With Labour Party Ticket

The ex-Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Labour Party and promised to win the July 16, governorship election in the state.

The ex-parliamentarian  who expressed delight over his emergence as the candidate of the party on Thursday, promised to pay attention to education, health, agriculture and the local economy of Osun state when elected governor.

According to him, “In my political career, I have always had the aspiration to run for the governorship of Osun State. Twice, I have tried in another party but today, Labour Party has given me a platform to run. By the special grace of God, we are going to win.

“Because of this opportunity given to me, I will be eternally grateful to members of the Labour Party, who stood firm despite the fact that no election has been won by the party since 1999 when we started this experience.

“I am assuring you that I, Sulaimon Lasun Yusuf, have accepted the candidacy of the Labour Party to run for the governorship and we are going to win. As from today, you are not going to be talking to a candidate, but a governor-in-waiting.

On the claim by All Progressives Congress, (APC), that the impact of his moving from the party would not be felt, Yusuf criticized the leadership of the party for being oblivious of his political contribution since 1983.

“Those that said my impact will not be felt in APC are living in a mirage because I have been in active politics since 1983. I have contested for election on several occasions, especially the election as a federal lawmaker which I contested in 2007 and became one of the longest Election Tribunal cases in Nigeria which lasted for over 3 years. I later became the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives.”

The governorship candidate  on the occasion unveiled Adeola Atanda, an indigene of Iwo, as his running mate.
