Barely 13 days to the Osun governorship election slated for July 16, 2022, a frontline Islamic group, Tijjaniyya Grassroots Mobilisation and Movement Initiative of Nigeria, TIGMEIN, has endorsed Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for a second term.
TIGMEIN members declared their readiness to vote massively for the Governor come July 16, disclosing that their members across the State had embarked on grassroots mobilisation and door-to-door campaign to ensure his re-election.
According to a statement by the Governor’s spokesman, Ismail Omipidan, the Islamic group said their support for Oyetola was informed by his outstanding performance, verifiable credentials and track records in the last three and a half years.

Speaking on behalf of members of the group, the National Coordinator of TIGMEIN Nigeria, Sheikh Ahmad-Tijani Thanni Awwal, lauded the achievements of Governor Oyetola since assumption of office.
“As part of effort to guarantee our votes and ensure your re-election, we have embarked on voter’s sensitisation and we will stop at nothing to ensure that every voting member of Tijjaniyya in Osun votes for you. Our target is to ensure that each member of the group mobilises 20 persons to the polling units to vote and this will have a multiplier effect on your popular votes.
“Each of the 20 persons will also bring at least one person. The aim of this endorsement is to get you returned for second term. As you can see, for the first time, we are bringing ourselves together to bring a destiny for our people. The time will come when it will be happening across the states of the federation,” he said.
In his remarks, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola expressed gratitude to the members of TIGMEIN all over the world particularly in Osun for their unflinching support and cooperation, saying their endorsement would encourage him to do more for the state.
