Osun 2026: ‘Oyebamiji’s Emergence A Sign Of Victory’, Says APC Chieftain Oyintiloye

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has described the emergence of Bola Oyebamiji as the party’s candidate for the August 8, 2026, governorship election in the State as a sign of victory.

Oyintiloye stated this on Sunday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, where he hailed Oyebamiji’s emergence through consensus, saying it should be dedicated to the APC leadership, members, and especially, other aspirants who stepped down for him.

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

He noted that, having successfully completed the primary, the party’s attention should now be on the main election. “Oyebamiji, as our candidate, is a right step towards a victory awaiting the APC.

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

The former lawmaker recalled that some persons had predicted implosion due to the large number of aspirants who initially came out to vie for the APC ticket.

He, however, lauded the intervention of the party leaders, which he said 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.

Oyintiloye appealed to the APC leadership in the state to strengthen the party further for a seamless governorship poll, while expressing optimism that when elected, Oyebamiji would lead a people‑friendly government that would implement programmes and policies meant to positively impact the lives of residents.

He further called on party members in the State to redouble their efforts and unite to return the APC to power in Osun State.
