The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it is determined to reclaim Osun state and secure a convincing victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
The national chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yulwatda, made the comment on Thursday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja while presenting the certificate of return to Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, the party’s governorship candidate for Osun state.
Yilwatda said Oyebamiji’s emergence by consensus reflected unity, maturity and teamwork within the party.
His words: “It is particularly heartwarming that Asiwaju Oyebamiji emerged by consensus. This speaks to unity, maturity, and teamwork; values that must be sustained.
“Leadership is collective, even though the glory eventually rests on one shoulder. Working with the entire family is not optional; it is essential.”
The APC chairman criticised the current administration in Osun, saying the state had been governed more by “optics and theatrics” than tangible development in the past three years.
“For the past three years, Osun state has been defined more by optics and theatrics than by tangible development.
“Governance has too often appeared as performance, with little in terms of concrete projects or enduring impact that the people can truly point to,” he said.
Yilwatda said the APC’s victory would usher in an era where leadership would be judged by results rather than theatrics.
The APC chairman said Osun was the only south-west state Tinubu lost in the last general election and vowed that the outcome would be reversed.
“This time, we are determined to win convincingly for our candidate in Osun and for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027,” he said.
