Osun Guber Poll: Electorate will choose me as governor – Oyebamiji
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has declared that the electorate in the state will make history by electing him governor in the forthcoming election.
Oyebamiji made the assertion during a meeting with members of the Association of Mobile Telecommunication Engineers of Nigeria, Osun State chapter, in Osogbo on Sunday.
The Osun APC gubernatorial candidate, who was represented at the event by the Chairman of Civic Engagement of the APC Campaign Council, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, also expressed optimism about the outcome of the poll.
He stated that voters across the state would turn out en masse to support him and the APC in the election scheduled for August 15.
According to him, “History will be made on August 15 as I will be elected governor of the state. I am confident and hopeful in God and in you that it will be my day.”
Oyebamiji added that the election would mark a return to what he described as a progressive path for Osun State.
“History will also be made as Osun returns to the progressive path, and I count on you to make that happen,” he said.
He described governance as a serious responsibility requiring commitment and focus and noted that he was prepared to deliver the dividends of democracy.
The APC candidate explained that his administration would prioritise policies aimed at improving the welfare of residents across the state.
He outlined plans to adopt a comprehensive governance approach focusing on economic security, healthcare, education and social protection.
Oyebamiji said his “administration would expand social safety nets to reduce poverty and improve social security for vulnerable groups.”
He also pledged to “create opportunities for economic growth by supporting small-scale enterprises and encouraging the expansion of large businesses through funding, capacity building and infrastructure development.”
Addressing members of the association, he acknowledged the importance of telecommunications in economic and business development, assuring them of support if elected.
He disclosed that his policy agenda, code-named “PROSPER”, would be fully implemented to improve living standards, while urging stakeholders to disregard what he described as a campaign of calumny against him.
Earlier, the President of the association, Abdulrasaki Ejalonibu, assured the candidate of the support and votes of its members, noting that they were encouraged by the recognition and support they received during the administration of Adegboyega Oyetola.
The association urged Oyebamiji to fulfil his promises if elected.

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dino Melaye, has hinted that Nigerians are no longer interested in President Bola Tinubu’s second tenure.
Melaye said Nigerians can no longer endure another four years of Tinubu’s corrupt, reckless and incompetent administration.
Posting on X, Melaye wrote: “Tinubu’s second term is no longer about interest but existential. Nigerians cannot afford another four years of a miserable, corrupt, reckless, incompetent and prodical government.”
The former Kogi West Senator also accused Tinubu of playing politics with the lives of Nigerians.
He also accused the president of undermining democracy and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
“Tinubu is playing politics with the lives of Nigerians, undermining democracy and Gov Seyi Makinde,” he said.
Tinubu is the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate after emerging winner of the party’s primary election with about 11 million votes.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Umar Sani, has disclosed that the party is open for an alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sani made this revelation on Tuesday when he featured in an interview on Arise Television.
He was speaking on the readiness of the party for next year’s general elections, noting that the PDP is the strongest party across the country.
“Yes, of course, we are ready to accommodate alliances and collaboration, and I can assure you that, in view of the situation on ground and the lack of acceptability of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by Nigerians, PDP stands a chance.
“Nigerians have rejected the APC because they believe that the APC is the agent of poverty and poor governance.
“There are so many protests on bad governance. Nigerians have openly rejected the APC, and so they need an alternative. The PDP is very poised, very ready to provide that alternative,” he said.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Sani, says former president Goodluck Jonathan is taking his time before publicly accepting or rejecting the party’s nomination form ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sani made the claims on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television.
He stated that the issue of whether Jonathan is reluctant does not arise because he has been the president before.
The PDP stalwart, who noted that Jonathan wants to become president, stressed that there are obstacles along the way that he wants to clear before making his decision public.
“There is an eligibility case against Jonathan. Even though the court has dismissed the case, the people are adamant and they have gone ahead to appeal the judgment.
“Now, one thing must give way for another to thrive. Jonathan wants to become president. There are encumbrances that need to be cleared before he will express himself.
“So I won’t think there is any reluctance on his part. He is very determined to become president of Nigeria, but he is being very careful about the court case.
“So, as far as we are concerned, Jonathan is our candidate. We have put out his name, though he has not come out publicly to either accept or reject. I think he’s been very strategic. He’s taking his time,” the PDP chieftain said.
