On these two occasions, he obeyed his people and made reference to God\u2019s appointed time.<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #262626; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #262626; text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe don\u2019t need anybody to rig this election because we know that the people of Osun State are with us.
