Our duty has been made easy by the Governor because he has invested so much in the youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you check those who are in government, you will see that the youth are fully involved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Davido urged the newly inaugurated mobilisers to take the campaign to residents across their communities, particularly undecided voters and those who do not belong to any political party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour duty is to meet with the residents. There are a lot of people who don\u2019t have a party and don\u2019t even know who to vote for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC does not have anything to campaign with, except failure that Adeleke is correcting, but for us, the Governor\u2019s achievements are enough to campaign with,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Director of Operations, Dr. Musthofa Adebayo, in his welcome address said \u201cWe are the engine room of this campaign. We are the force that will carry the IMOLE message to every doorstep and ensure no vote is left behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe youths of Osogbo are ready. The structure is ready. Victory is non-negotiable!
