The candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship election in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), has vowed that the party will resist any form of rigging during 2026 election slated for August 8th.
Oyebamiji, alleged that APC was rigged out during 2022 Osun state governorship election, asserting that the party will take over the governance in 2026.
The guber candidate speaking at APC state secretariat, Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo, Osun State, on Sunday during a meeting with the youth arm of the party, tasked members to commence door-to-door awareness.
Addressing the youths, he said, “I want to assure you that 2026 will not be like 2022 when we were rigged out of office. We should work hard. For this forthcoming election, all governments across the world will stand with us.
“Many people who are seeing what President Tinubu is doing are willing to join the course. We must deliver, you must work, this government will be for the youths, we are going to programme a system that will reward the youths.”
He admonished the youths not to be lackadaisical about the forthcoming election, saying “We are eager to take over but we have yet to work towards it. God has given us a goal post and set us up to play penalty on an empty net, despite this, we should work assiduously.
“We must go back to start doing house-to-house, door-to-door awareness about the forthcoming poll. Our opponents have started lying to the Osun people, you must break these lies.”
He lauded President Bola Tinubu, Minister for Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, pioneer National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande for making the party viable despite being out of government since 2022.
Earlier, the State APC Youth Leader, Olagoke Akinwemimo, said “the choice of Oyebamiji is perfect which has shattered the expectations of the opposition, who predicted division and failure within our party.”
He assured that Osun APC youth structure remains the most formidable in the struggle to reclaim the mandate, adding that “Since 2022, when we were denied victory through orchestrated electoral irregularities, our youths have remained resilient, active, and well-organised under the leadership of our party.”
