The immediate past Managing Director of Osun Investment Company Limited (OSICOL), Dr. Tunde Faleye (Falex), has congratulated Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO, on his emergence as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2026 Osun State governorship election.

He described Oyebamiji’s victory at the party’s primary election as “a round peg in a round hole,” reflecting the confidence of party members in his capacity, competence, and leadership pedigree.

Faleye, who succeeded Oyebamiji as Managing Director of OSICOL and served between 2017 and 2023, expressed delight at the peaceful, transparent, and rancour-free conduct of the primary election, calling it a true reflection of the ideals and internal democracy the APC stands for.

In a personally signed statement, he expressed strong confidence in Oyebamiji’s political sagacity and leadership qualities, stating that they would propel the party to victory in the forthcoming governorship election.

He commended the leadership of the party for a seamless primary exercise that has become a source of pride to APC members across the state and beyond, and prayed that God grants the party continued strength while imbuing its candidate with wisdom, resilience, and wherewithal for the journey ahead.

“My boss, I celebrate you and give glory to Almighty Allah for this milestone. I also commend our leaders—President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; former Interim National Chairman, Chief Adebisi Akande; Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Dr. Adegboyega Oyetola; APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda; National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru; members of the APC National Executive Committee; Osun APC Chairman, Alhaji Tajudeen Lawal; the State Working Committee; party leaders and faithful members—for their steadfast support that culminated in this successful primary,” Faleye stated.

He also applauded other aspirants who participated in the primary for their maturity, loyalty, and respect for party supremacy, noting that their conduct contributed significantly to the peaceful outcome of the exercise.

Faleye added that the time has come to strengthen the internal mechanisms of the party while sustaining unity, peace, and harmony, which he described as the fulcrums of the APC.
