The statement said, the emergence of Oyebamiji as the governorship candidate through a consensus arrangement speaks of the readiness of the party to take over governance, while commending other aspirants that 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 would be translated into good governance in Osun without hitch.

Oyintiloye on the statement said, the APC in the State will put the primary election behind it and set for election victory on August 8, 2026.

“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.
