The Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji on Saturday solicited support for All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2026 Osun guber election at Ede, the hometown of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Oyebamij, who is a leading governorship aspirant, joined the kinsman of Adeleke, who is a leader of the APC in Ede, Hon. Ghaffar Ajani and ex-Osun Speaker Adejare Bello in a loyalty walk in Ede.

Speaking at APC Party secretariat, Oke-Gada, Ajani said the loyalty walk was aimed at mobilising support APC and Oyebamiji to emerge as the candidate for the 2026 election.

He expressed delight over the massive turnout of members of APC and residents of Ede community despite that the incumbent governor is from the town.

According to him: “I am glad with the large turn out of party faithfuls here today, it reinforces the love the people of Osun has for our great party and Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.

“The turn out also reiterate the confidence our people have in the capacity and competence of Oyebamiji to lead our party to electoral success in the guber elections of August 8th, 2026.”

Oyebamiji expressed confidence that APC will emerge victorious come 2026 noting that the residents of Osun State cannot wait to return the state to progressive party.

“I am confident that APC will win the state in 2026. The residents of Osun State have seen the difference that the incumbent party has nothing to offer the state other than political lies.”
