Ekiti victory will strengthen APC’s chances in Osun — Oyintiloye
By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has said the reelection of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti State will strengthen the party’s chances in the August 15 governorship election in Osun.
Oyintiloye, who stated this on Sunday in Osogbo, described Oyebanji’s victory as “well deserved” and said the outcome of the Ekiti governorship election was a clear endorsement of the governor’s performance.
The former lawmaker, who also described the victory as a historic triumph achieved with an unprecedented margin, said the result reflects the people’s confidence in progressive governance, adding that Oyebanji’s administration has remained focused on development, inclusiveness and the welfare of citizens.
Oyintiloye said the APC’s victory in Ekiti signalled the party’s growing popularity and expressed confidence that it would translate into an even more decisive victory for the APC in the Osun governorship election.
He commended the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), led by the National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and the National Secretary, Sen. Ajibola Basiru, for providing strategic leadership that has continued to strengthen the party nationwide.
“The Ekiti result has shown that when a party is united, focused and committed to grassroots engagement, victory becomes very easy. It is a clear lesson for us in Osun that teamwork, dedication and collective responsibility are indispensable for electoral success,” he said.
Oyintiloye expressed optimism that the people of Osun would support the APC candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), whom he described as “competent, experienced and people-oriented”.
“The people of Ekiti have reaffirmed their belief in progressive governance. By the grace of God, the people of Osun will do the same on August 15, 2026, by electing Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji as the next governor of the state,” he added.
