President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji on his emergence as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, following the party’s primary election held on Saturday.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President commended the Osun State chapter of the APC for the unity, maturity and spirit of reconciliation that characterised the primary election, which was conducted through affirmation.
President Tinubu also praised the aspirants who stepped down in support of Oyebamiji, describing their action as a demonstration of party loyalty, selflessness and collective commitment to the ideals and progress of the APC.
The President urged the governorship candidate to be magnanimous in victory by carrying along all party leaders and former aspirants, stressing the need for inclusiveness and cohesion as the party prepares for the 2026 governorship election.
According to President Tinubu, “The journey to reclaim Osun State for the progressive fold in the 2026 governorship election has begun. I urge all members and leaders of the APC in the state to remain focused, united and resolute. Victory is achievable, and together, we will succeed.”
The Osun APC primary election was chaired by the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and held in Osogbo, the state capital, where delegates unanimously affirmed Oyebamiji as the party’s candidate.
