By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has declared President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 non-negotiable, saying the party is ready to mobilise support for his second term.

Oyebamiji made the declaration on Saturday while leading APC leaders, candidates and supporters on a victory walk from Ayetoro to Ogo-Oluwa in Osogbo. The exercise was organised to sensitise residents and mobilise votes for Tinubu and other APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Describing the turnout as a demonstration of the APC’s strength, Oyebamiji said, “The essence of this event is to sensitise our people and prepare them to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our President, and all our candidates in the APC. You can see the crowd. This is to tell the whole of Nigeria that Osun is ready, and re-electing our President is non-negotiable”.

The APC Director-General of the Parliamentary Campaign Council said the party was targeting two million votes, expressing confidence that the goal was achievable. He described the crowd as organic and said the party had a good relationship with the Accord, adding that both parties would work together.

Similarly, the senator representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, said the APC had the grassroots support needed to surpass its two-million-vote target.

He urged residents to support Tinubu, describing his re-election as an important political moment for the South-West.

Also, the Director of Marine and Operations at the Nigerian Ports Authority, Olalekan Badmus, said the President had performed well in various sectors, urging residents to vote massively for him.

Meanwhile, the Osun APC Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, declared that the party remained united and determined to win the January 16, 2027 governorship election. He dismissed suggestions of division, insisting that the APC in the state was united, progressive and resolute in its commitment to victory.
