Ahead of the 2026 Osun State governorship election, critical stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ila Orangun, Boripe, and Aiyedade local government areas have unanimously endorsed Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) as their preferred candidate.
The endorsement came over the weekend when Asiwaju Oyebamiji, a leading APC governorship aspirant, paid a consultation visit to the three local governments as part of his ongoing statewide engagement with party members and leaders ahead of the APC primary scheduled for December 13, 2026.
Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, according to a statement by Oyebamiji’s Media and Publicity Directorate, the aspirant expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support, pledging to protect and promote the interests of Osun State and its people when entrusted with leadership responsibilities.
Speaking on behalf of the APC structure in Ila Orangun local government, Prince Joshua Adediji, a respected party leader, confirmed that despite the number of aspirants in the race, stakeholders have resolved to unite behind Oyebamiji’s ambition.
“We have 12 aspirants, but AMBO is our candidate in the coming primary election. However, whoever wins, we should remain united and support the party’s flag bearer to rescue Osun from the current challenges under the PDP,” Adediji stated.
Also speaking, former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye, described Oyebamiji as a loyal disciple of Chief Bisi Akande, a founding father of the APC and an elder statesman.
In Boripe local government, APC elders and leaders also reaffirmed their loyalty to the leadership of former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, noting that his endorsement of Oyebamiji has unified the party’s direction.
