Ahead of Osun State Governorship election scheduled for Saturday, 15 August, 2026, the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Wednesday, 12 August, 2026 called on voters across the state to support the party’s governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, in Saturday’s election, reports thegazellenews.com.
Oyetola, who made the call on Wednesday, 12 August, 2026 in Inisa, Odo-Otin Local Government Area, while addressing APC leaders, stakeholders and supporters during an interactive meeting ahead of the governorship election, said residents across the state deserved equitable access to government projects and essential public services regardless of their location.
The meeting attracted APC leaders, stakeholders, party faithful and supporters from across the area, with a large crowd welcoming Oyetola and his entourage to Inisa.
While assuring voters that an Oyebamiji-led administration would ensure balanced development and judicious use of the state’s resources, said the APC candidate would prioritise road construction and rehabilitation, education and primary healthcare if elected.
“We must ensure that every part of Osun State benefits from government projects and development. Our people deserve good roads, quality education and accessible healthcare,” the minister said, just as he also urged APC members to remain united and intensify their mobilisation efforts ahead of the election.
Oyetola also called on supporters to participate actively in the electoral process and remain vigilant against what he described as “vote manipulation and other electoral malpractices.”
While acknowledging the support and endorsements given to Oyebamiji by former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun and other political leaders in Odo-Otin Local Government Area, the minister expressed confidence in the party’s chances, Oyetola said many residents had become dissatisfied with the performance of the incumbent administration.
“Our support must translate into votes on Saturday. We must come out in large numbers and ensure that our votes count, ” Oyetola said, and therefore, urged APC supporters to remain committed to the party and work towards delivering victory for Oyebamiji at the polls.
Oyetola said the APC remained committed to securing victory for Oyebamiji and providing what he described as balanced and effective governance for the people of the state.
