‘You will labour till death,’ Tinubu mocks PDP, Labour Party ahead of Osun guber election

In advance of the Osun State governorship election, Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, made fun of the Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday.

At a campaign rally in Osogbo, Tinubu spoke to a sizable gathering of APC supporters and compared the PDP and Labour Party to mushroom parties that would work till they died.

Governor Gboyega Oyetola will represent the APC while the duo of Ademola Adeleke and former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, will carry the PDP and LP flags in the governorship election slated for Saturday.

Other APC leaders at the mega rally were the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, the vice-presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima, and the quartet of governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) and Babagana Zulum (Borno), among others.

Tinubu in his address ruled out PDP and LP chances in the election.

He urged residents of Osun State to consider their future and vote for APC.

He said: “I ask you to please do the same thing you did in Ekiti. Come out with your PVCs and vote massively for APC.

“The voting is now in your hand. Be very vigilant. Be watchful. You will not do it in vain.

“Think about your children and vote accordingly so you can see the future. Come out en masse. Don’t mind PDP and other mushroom parties — parties like Labour; they will labour till they die. God will not make you labourers.”
