Tinubu’s 2027 victory non-negotiable — Oyebamiji declares at mobilisation rally in Osogbo.
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, has led party leaders and supporters on a mobilisation rally in Osogbo, declaring that the party is targeting two million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Oyebamiji made the declaration on Saturday during a victory walk organised by the APC to sensitise residents and mobilise support for Tinubu and other party candidates ahead of the elections.
The victory walk, which commenced from the popular Ayetoro Junction and passed through Igbonna, Olonkoro, Ajegunle, Old Garage, Olaiya, and Ogo-Oluwa all in Osogbo, the state capital terminated at the party secretariat and witnessed a mammoth crowd of party loyalists, supporters, and residents of the state.
Speaking during the rally, Oyebamiji expressed confidence that the target was achievable, citing the large turnout of supporters at the event.
He described the crowd as organic, insisting that the rally was organised solely by the APC without importing supporters, and stated that the party was committed to securing massive support for Tinubu’s re-election and other APC candidates.
Oyebamiji also expressed willingness to work with members of the Accord Party, noting that both parties maintained a cordial relationship.
According to him, “As you can see, the essence of this victory walk for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is to sensitise our people so they can prepare and vote for the President and all our candidates in the forthcoming general elections. You can see the crowd; this is a show of strength.”
“This is fantastic and massive today, and it is to tell the whole world that re-electing our President is non-negotiable.”
“We are targeting two million votes, and you can see for yourself that it is achievable. This is an organic crowd, not an imported crowd, and with this crowd of our party leaders, members, loyalists, and sympathisers who are residents of the state, it is crystal clear that Osun is for President Tinubu, and we are resolute to return him for a second term,” Oyebamiji assured.
Also speaking, the Senator representing Osun East, Francis Fadahunsi, expressed confidence in the APC’s grassroots strength and urged residents to seize the opportunity to support Tinubu’s second-term ambition, describing his re-election as an important political moment for the South-West.
Also, the Executive Director of Marine and Operations at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Olalekan Badmus, said the President had performed well in various sectors, hence the need for 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 within the party, insisting that the APC in the state was united, progressive, and resolute in its commitment to victory.
He said, “We are resolute in our determination to win the January 16 election, by the special grace of Almighty God.”
“There is nothing like a crack in Osun APC. We are one. The APC in Osun State is united. You can see them and the crowd. You can see that we hold Osun. We are progressive and resolute.”
The victory walk was attended by APC parliamentary candidates, including Barrister Kunle Adegoke (SAN), Hon. Ibrahim Taofeek Kayode (ITK), Hon. Oluwole Oke, Hon. Taofeek Ajilesoro, and other candidates for the National Assembly and State House of Assembly.
