Kindly share this story:

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has described the emergence of a former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Bola Oyebamiji, as the party’s candidate in the forthcoming state governorship election as “a right step towards a victorious outing.”

This was contained in a statement signed by Oyintiloye and made available to journalists in Osogbo, Osun State, on Sunday.

The former lawmaker said Oyebamiji’s emergence through a consensus arrangement should be dedicated to the APC leadership and members, especially other aspirants who stepped down.

He added that the peaceful manner of Oyebamiji’s emergence was an indication of the growth and excellence of character for which the APC is known.

Oyintiloye further said, “With Oyebamiji as the party’s candidate and the APC’s impending victory at the polls, the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu would be translated into good governance in Osun without hitch.

“Having successfully completed the primary, attention should now be on the main poll. Oyebamiji, as our candidate, is a right step towards a victory awaiting the APC.

“We must, however, work hard as a united family with a common purpose for the victory to be achieved.”

He recalled that some prophets of doom had predicted an implosion due to the large number of aspirants who initially indicated interest in the APC ticket, adding that the intervention of party leaders made the process seamless.

Oyintiloye commended President Bola Tinubu, the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; Chief Bisi Akande; the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola; and others for their guidance and commitment towards a successful primary for the Osun APC.

Urging the APC leadership in the state to further strengthen the party to make victory at the polls less stressful, Oyintiloye noted that, if elected Osun governor, Oyebamiji would lead a people-friendly government and implement programmes and policies that would positively impact the lives of residents.

The PUNCH reports that Oyebamiji emerged as the APC candidate for the August 8, 2026, governorship election at the party’s primary conducted in Osogbo on Saturday by a committee led by the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpoboholo.
