The Director-General of the Oyo State Allied Peoples Movement (APM) Governorship Campaign Council has dismissed claims of poor attendance at Saturday’s campaign flag-off in Oyo town, describing reports suggesting a low turnout as deliberate misinformation by the opposition.
The campaign DG, in a statement reacting to criticisms of the rally, accused the opposition of attempting to misrepresent the event and deceive members of the public.
He maintained that the campaign flag-off, held at Durbar Stadium, Oyo town, recorded massive attendance, enthusiasm and participation from party members and supporters.
According to him, photographs from the event provided evidence of the crowd and the level of support enjoyed by the APM, contrary to reports portraying the rally as poorly attended.
He accused the opposition of resorting to what he described as lies, deceit and deliberate misinformation whenever developments failed to support its political narrative.
The campaign DG argued that political engagement should focus on issues, policies and ideas rather than what he called attempts to discredit political opponents through propaganda.
He said he was encouraged by what he described as the growing enthusiasm, commitment and grassroots acceptance of the APM across Oyo State.
The campaign chief added that residents deserved issue-based political engagement rather than what he termed propaganda aimed at misleading the electorate.
He concluded by reaffirming the party’s campaign slogan, “RESET NIGERIA. NIGERIA FIRST!”
